Nerrt's One Bowl Chocolate Cake

I've made this cake many times....it is so moist, you have to make sure the pan is buttered and floured properly...and it's best to use a flan pan to keep the cake on the pan. I'm not sure if I sent this out before, but thought I would again since you're on the topic of chocolate cake. This one is super easy to make, it's delicious, and all you need is one bowl!

NERRT'S ONE BOWL CHOCOLATE CAKE

2 cups sugar
1 3/4 cups flour
3/4 cups cocao (I use cadbury's)
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup boiling water

• Preheat oven to 350F or 175C
• Grease/butter & flour pan
• In a large bowl, stir together sugar, flour, sifted cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla. Mix for 2 min on medium speed. Stir in boiling water. The batter will be thin.
• Bake in 2 9 inch pans for 30 - 35 min. Cool for 10 min. I use one large flan pan which does the job.

CHOCOLATE BUTTER ICING

3/4 cup butter (softened....NOT MARGARINE)
1/4 cup Boiling water
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 cups Icing Sugar
1/4 cup Cocoa, sifted.

• Beat all 5 ingredients in medium bowl untl mixture lightens in both color and texture.
• Makes gerous 2 cups.

Note: Well...I over softened the butter to the point where half of it was melted....so I added an extra cup of icing sugar and it worked out great! YUM.
