NO-FAIL MOIST CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Prepare pans (makes one 9x13 sheet cake or two 8- or 9-inch layers) by greasing and flouring (use cocoa powder to avoid white residue).
• In a large bowl, stir Group One ingredients together and set aside.
• In another large bowl, stir Group Two ingredients together.
• Stir Group Two (dry ingredients) into Group One.
• It is quite a liquidy batter, so do not be alarmed!
• Pour batter into prepared pans (fill no more than 2/3 full).
• You may have extra batter, if so make a few cupcakes!
• Rap baking pans sharply on the counter to release air bubbles.
• Bake at 350 until edges are slightly dry, cake springs back when lightly pressed in the center, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs.
• Baking times will vary based on pan size, but check at 40 minutes and continue checking every 5 minutes thereafter.
• For cupcakes, check at 15 minutes.
