Chocolate is on of my all time favs!!! I found this recipe on the Hershey’s Cocoa box. This is not my recipe but it is extremely moist and yummy!

Hershey’s “Perfectly Chocolate” Chocolate Cake:

2 c sugar

1-3/4 c all purpose flour

3/4 c Hershesy’s Coca

1-1/2 tsp baking powder

1-1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

2 eggs

1 c milk

1/2 vegetable oil (I used butter)

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup boiling water

Heat oven to 350*. Grease and flour 2-9 inch round cake pans. Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add eggs, milk, oil (butter) and vanilla; beat on medium 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water. The cake mix will look VERY thin. Pour into pans and bake for 30-35 minutes. Cool 10 minutes and remove from pans. Cool completely befor icing.

“Perfect Chocolate” Icing:

1 stick of butter or 1/2 cup

2/3 c Hershey’s Chocolate Cocoa

3 c powdered sugar

1/3 cup of milk

1 tsp of vanilla

Melt butter and stir in cocoa. Alternately add powdered sugar an milk beating on medium speed. Add more milk if needed. Add vanilla. Makes 2 cups of frosting.

*I usually add crushed walnuts to the top. But in the above picture I culd not because someone was allergic to nuts that night at dinner. I just shaved a little chocolate.
