Remember a while back I shared my recipe for our Branding Time Casserole? Well, here’s the chocolate cake recipe the we usually made for dessert. This was given to me by one of our neighbors, she has been making this cake since she first got married in 1958. It’s quick and easy, the chocolate isn’t heavy or overpowering and it’s good with buttercream frosting, chocolate frosting, cream cheese frosting, whipped cream or just dusted with powdered sugar.
Sharon’s Easy Cocoa Cake
1 1/2 c. flour
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. dark cocoa, or whatever kind you have on hand
1 t. baking soda
dash of salt
Stir it up first (the dry ingredients) then add, beating a little after each addition:
1/2 c. buttermilk
1 egg
1/2 c. cooking oil
1/2 c. boiling water
Pour into a square pan (I use a 9 x 9) or 12 cupcakes. Bake at 350° until done (about 35 minutes). This recipe easily doubles if you need a larger one.
