What Shall We Bake Today?

Food 1 Minute

Today’s offering is my go-to Chocolate Cake!  It’s rich and flavorful and has coffee IN IT!

Ingredients

2 cups flour

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder

2 tsp baking soda

¾ cup cocoa

2 cups sugar

1 cup vegetable oil

1 cup hot coffee

1 cup milk

2 eggs

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour cake pans.

In a large mixing bowl, add flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa, and sugar and stir until combined.

Mix in vegetable oil, coffee, and milk. Mix for approximately two minutes.

Add eggs and vanilla extract and continue to mix on medium speed for about two more minutes.

Pour cake batter into cake pans and bake for 30-40 minutes. Your cake is done when an inserted tooth pick comes out clean. Cool about 10-15 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto wire rack. 

I frost with a homemade icing and then, after we have a slice for dessert, I slice the cake in half.  I cut each half into flat slices and par-freeze them on a wax paper lined cookie sheet for about a half hour.  Then I wrap the slices in waxed paper and freeze in a Ziploc bag.  That way when hubby and I want dessert, we have an easy one that doesn’t mean we have a big cake sitting around that we have to finish.

  3. I am adding a short daily prayer to the board. I would invite each of you, if you wish, to also add one or maybe two of your own liking. I do not want to stifle anyone but please limit yourself to one or two religious postings. here’s one I found that I liked.
