You can't miss with this delightful old-fashioned dessert. The cake is moist and chocolaty, and its light, fluffy frosting stirs up in a jiffy. Use vanilla pudding instead of chocolate in the frosting if you wish. -Catherine Dawe, Kent, Ohio Ingredients:

2 cups sugar |
6 tablespoons baking cocoa |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 cups water |
2/3 cup vegetable oil |
2 teaspoons vinegar |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
fluffy chocolate frosting: |
1 cup cold milk |
1 package (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix |
1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed |

1. In a bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Add the water, oil, vinegar and vanilla. Beat on low speed for 1 minute. Beat on medium for 1 minute.
