Instructions
Chocolate cake
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Put foil on a 9x13 baking sheet. This is for easy clean up.
- In a stand mixer, mix together sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- Add the eggs, vanilla, milk, and oil and combine.
- Add the boiling water and put the mixer on low until everything is combined. Scrape the bottom of the bowl with a spatula and mix everything together. The batter will look thin and this is normal.
- Bake for about 30-35 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. The cake needs to be complete cooled before mixing with the frosting.
Chocolate Frosting
- In a stand mixer or using a handheld mixer, mix together the melted butter and cocoa powder.
- Alternatively add the powdered sugar and milk.
- Add the vanilla extract. If its too thick, you can add 1 more tablespoon of milk. If it's to thin, you can add 2 tbsp of powdered sugar.
