This was one of my absolute favorite cakes. I used to serve this cake at every birthday party while my girls were growing up. This is fast, easy and incredibly sinful!!! Ingredients:
2 eggs |
1 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons butter, soft |
1 cup vegetable oil (safflower or canola) |
1/2 cup cocoa, packed |
1/2 cup buttermilk |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
2 1/4 cups flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 cup boiling water |
1/2 cup chocolate chips |
1/2 cup butter, soft |
1 cup icing sugar |
2/3 cup cocoa |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
2 tablespoons milk |
2 tablespoons coffee, hot |
Directions:
1. Prepare 2 - 8 round pans, with butter and flour.
2. Preheat oven 350.
3. Cake: In a mixer, beat first 7 ingredients in order, adding one at a time. Sift the dry ingredients. Fold in boiling water and chocolate chips. (Note: if you add the boiling water and the chips together, they will melt, but if you delay adding the chips for a couple of seconds, they will keep their form).
4. Bake for 25 minutes at or until cooked. Remove from pans and let cool on baking racks.
5. Incredible Icing: In a food processor, blend butter, sugar and cocoa for 4 seconds. Combine vanilla, milk and hot coffee and blend in just enough liquid until icing is smooth and silky.
