I combined 2 recipes to come up with this super moist, easy, delicious frosted devil's food-type cake. The cake recipe is from the Quick Cooking 1999 cookbook.
2 c flour
2 c sugar
1/2 c baking cocoa
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 c vegetable oil*
1 c buttermilk**
2 eggs
1 c hot water
Frosting:
6 Tbsp butter (softened)
1/2 c baking cocoa
2 2/3 c powdered sugar
1/3 c milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
additional powdered sugar
In a lg bowl, combine dry ingredients. Stir in oil, buttermilk, and eggs. Add water and stir til combined. Pour into a greased 9x13" baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-38 min or til a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
In a sm mixing bowl, cream butter. Add cocoa and powdered sugar and milk. Beat together, adding additional powdered sugar til you achieve the consistency you desire. Frost cake.
Makes 20-24 servings.
*I use olive oil in place of vegetable oil.
**Since I usually don't have buttermilk, I put 1 Tbsp lemon juice in a measuring cup and fill the remainder with milk up to the 1 c mark. Let milk mixture sit for 5 minutes to curdle before adding to the cake mix.
