This is another recipe I got from my baking friend Megan. She credits it to Hershey’s. It is a great cake mix that tastes delicious and comes out quite moist, definitely recommended, especially if you top it with some Salted Caramel Frosting. I prepared it for my friend Nathaly’s 25th Birthday. I think I impressed her 🙂
Ingredients:
2 cups white sugar
1 ¾ cup flour
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa
1 ½ tsp baking powder
1 ½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
½ cup oil
2 tsps vanilla
1 cup boiling water (can also use 1 cup hot brewed coffee, for a varied flavor)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease and flour (esp for a layered cake) a 13×9 or 2 – 9” round cake pans.
- Stir together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in large bowl.
- Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes (or by hand 5 minutes).
- Stir in boiling water, batter will be very thin.
- Pour into pan(s).
- Bake 30-35 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool down for a good 30 minutes, Frost and serve. Enjoy!
