GRANDMA'S CHOCOLATE CAKE



Grandma's Chocolate Cake image

This recipe has been passed down through the family for many generations. It is the only chocolate cake recipe I use anymore. The cake is nice and moist and has such a bold flavor. This cake is great for a German chocolate icing, but I have used all types of icings, which all complement the cake nicely. This cake always pleases the crowd when I make it. Hope you enjoy it as much as my family has for all these years.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 c all-purpose flour
2 c sugar, white
1/3 c baking cocoa
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 c water
3/4 c I use vegetable oil or coconut oil (updated from original)
2 tsp vanilla extract, I use pure and a tad less on measure
2 tsp vinegar
MY CHOCOLATE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
1 pkg cream cheese, softened (8 oz)
1/4 c butter, you can use margarine in a pinch but use butter!
2 c confectioners' sugar
1/3 c bakers cocoa (I love Hershey's but use what you like)
dash(es) salt
3 Tbsp milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. In a mixing bowl combine the dry ingredients (The first five.)
  • 2. Add the water, oil, vanilla, and vinegar.
  • 3. Mix well (batter will be thin).
  • 4. Pour into a greased 13x9x2 inch pan or 2 9-inch round cake pans. Bake at 350 for 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely.
  • 5. Once the cake has cooled make the frosting. For frosting, in a mixing bowl mix cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar together until creamy.
  • 6. Add cocoa, salt, vanilla, and milk. Mix until creamy. Then frost your cooled cake and enjoy!
  • 7. NOTE: For the frosting, sometimes I melt the butter and mix it with wet ingredients in a bowl prior to adding it to the mixer. I found it makes it come out fantastic!
