This Chocolate cake recipe is seriously the best, for being so basic in ingredients.
Hand-me-down Chocolate cake
2 cups Flour
1 1/4 tsp. Baking soda
3/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cups Cocoa ( I am almost always adding just a bit more than this because I like lots of chocolate :)
1 3/4 cups Sugar
Mix these thoroughly then add-
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp Vanilla
1 1/3 cups Water
3/4 cup Oil
Mix very well. You can't really over mix it.
Pour into greased whateversize pan you like. Bake a 350 Fahrenheit, 35 to 40 minutes for 13x9 inch pan. 15-20 minutes for cupcakes.
I like using the glossy chocolate frosting from my Betty Crocker cookbook but mint or most any flavor works pretty well.
Happy day! :)

hey, is the frosting the same as the Chocolate Buttercream Frosting? I have a Betty Crocker cookbook but I can't find glossy chocolate frosting.
I don't think so. :) we have three Betty crocker cookbooks. well I guess I have two and mom has one, but they are pretty old. and they have glossy chocolate but no chocolate buttercream :) anyhow.
Here is the glossy chocolate, It could be the same.
soften-
3 tbs butter
3 oz. unsweetened chocolate
then add
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/3 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla
and it is definetly my favorite chocolate frosting recipe. although sometimes I use cocoa powder and add extra butter.
