BUTTERMILK CHOCOLATE CAKE
2 cups Flour
2 cups Sugar
1/2 cup cocoa (Hershey's - natural unsweetened)
1 cup Wesson Oil
1 tsp Vanilla
1 cup Boiling Water
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 cup Buttermilk
2 tsp Baking Soda - dissolved in Buttermilk
2 eggs
Blend dry ingredients. Add oil, vanilla and eggs. Dissolve baking soda in buttermilk and add. Blend. Add boiling water last and mix well. Pour cake batter into a 9 x 13 baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until done.
Watch it after about 30 minutes, my oven bakes it faster.
