Ingredients

Cake:

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup DARK unsweetened cocoa powder (no substitutions, must be DARK)
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water

Frosting:

  • 1 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 6 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×13 baking pan with cooking spray.

    2. Sift together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Beat in eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Stir in the boiling water. Batter will be very thin. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 30-35 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely.

  2. For the frosting: Cream butter with a mixer and add sugar and cocoa. Add the milk and vanilla and beat for about 3 minutes until fluffy. If frosting is too soft, add a little more sugar. If frosting is too firm, add a little more milk. Spread frosting on top of cooled cake.
