Oh Yeah! Now I can make my own cake mixes just like the big boys! This would make a nice gift, along with a cake pan, large mixing spoon, some cocoa, maybe a pot holder, etc. Enjoy! Chocolate cake is popular all over the USA! New England, Southern, Mid West, Mid Atlantic, West and Southwest. Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 3/4 cups sugar |
3/4-1 cup cocoa |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
4 tablespoons vegetable shortening |
1 1/3 cups water |
1/2 cup vegetable oil |
3 large eggs |
Directions:
1. Combine flour, sugar,cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Now stir to combine. Add shortening, using electric mixer on medium speed to blend the shortening into the dry ingredients. Completely mix shortening until you can't see any chunks. This is the mix which may be kept in a sealed container for several months.
2. To make the cake:.
3. Preheat the oven to 350*F. Grease sides and bottoms of two 9 baking pans, or one 9x13 pan. Lightly flour the greased pans. Blend the dry cake mix(above) with water, oil, and eggs in a large bowl with the mixer at low speed until just moistened. Kick up the speed to medium and mix about 2 more minutes.
4. Pour batter into pans and bake 30-33 minutes for the 9 pans and 35-38 minutes for the 9x13 pan.If you wish to make cupcakes, bake for 19-22 minutes.
