Chocolate Cake (Devil's Food Cake, to be more precise)
Yield: 9 inch layer cake; 10-12 servings
Ingredients
2 c sugar
1 3/4 c all purpose flour
3/4 c cocoa
1 1/2 t baking powder
1 1/2 t baking soda
1 t salt
2 large eggs
1 c milk
1/2 c vegetable oil
2 t vanilla extract
1 c brewed coffee
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 F
Sift sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract and coffee.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed of mixer for approximately 2 minutes. The batter will be very thin.
Divide batter between 2 greased and floured 9 inch layer pans. Bake for approximately 35 minutes, or until wooden tooth pick inserted into the layers comes our clean.
Cool on a baking rack for at least 10 minutes, before removing the cakes from the pan. When the layers are completely cool, ice with your favorite frosting.
