Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 350*F. Grease and flour two 8 inch x 2 inch baking pans and set aside. In a large mixing bowl sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Add butter, milk, and vanilla. With a hand mixer, beat for 2 minutes, occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl.
- Add eggs and beat for 2 minutes more.
- Pour batter into prepared pans, dividing equally between the pans. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven.
- Cool in the pans for 10 minutes and then turn cakes out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Frost with your favorite frosting. I used my favorite chocolate frosting, the one on the back of the Hersey’s cocoa can.
- “Perfectly Chocolate” Chocolate Frosting
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter or margarine
- 2/3 cup Hershey’s cocoa
- 3 cups powdered sugar (confectioners’ sugar)
- 1/3 cup milk (plus an additional few drops to make a nice consistency)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Melt butter. Stir in cocoa. Alternately add powdered sugar and milk, beating on medium speed to spreading consistency. Add more milk if needed. Stir in vanilla. Frost the cake.
- ENJOY!
