Chocolate Cake Recipe?

I am craving something chocolate for dessert tonight.





Does anyone have a quick easy chocolate cake and icing recipe.? I have most ingredients on-hand such as flour, eggs, sugar, cocoa, etc....


Or do you have another good chocolate recipe!Chocolate Cake Recipe?
This is so fast %26amp; easy to prepare. Another winner from Robin Miller. I prefer to ice mine, she just dusted with powdered sugar. Either way, this is a moist, delicious cake that is ready so fast...I don't even let it cool first if I am just using powdered sugar.


15 servings 30 min 5 min prep


Change to: servings US Metric


1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour


1 3/4 cups brown sugar


3/4 cup cocoa


1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder


1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda


1/4 teaspoon salt


1 1/4 cups buttermilk (I used 5 Tbsp dry buttermilk powder and 1 1/4 c water)


1 teaspoon vanilla extract


2 eggs


4 tablespoons vegetable oil


1 cup boiling water


confectioners' sugar








Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.


Combine dry ingredients in large bowl.


In a large measuring bowl, mix the wet ingredients together EXCEPT boiling water.


Stir the two mixtures together, then add boiling water.


Beat together until smooth. Pour batter (which will be very,very soupy) into greased 9 x13'; baking pan and bake for 25 minutes.


Allow to cool if planning to use icing
