Dark Chocolate Cake

[Guest guest]

Have been making this for more than 30 years. The only chocolate cake recipe

I ever use. Makes a dark, moist, delicious cake. Doesn't even need

frosting.

 

2 cups water

2/3 cup oil

8 heaping tablespoons cocoa

2 cups flour

2 cups sugar

1/2 tspn. salt

2 eggs

2 tspns. baking soda

1 tspn. vanilla

 

In a saucepan combine water, oil and cocoa. Bring to a boil and remove from

heat.

Combine dry ingredients (except baking soda) in a bowl and add chocolate

mixture. Beat slowly using electric beater. Add eggs, baking soda and vanilla.

Mix well. Pour into greased 9 X 13 " pan or two 9 " round pans. Bake at 350

for 30-35 minutes or until cake tests done.
