"Never Use Box Mix Again" One Bowl Chocolate Cake

Adapted from this Allcipe.com chocolate cake recipe.

It is also similar to the recipe on the back of the Hershey Cocoa can.

Nom-nom-nom... the right side of the cake is gone. Gone!

If you like dark and moist chocolate cake, this is the recipe for you!
What I like about this recipe is that you will most likely have most of this ingredient on hand.


1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2) In a mixing bowl, stir together:

1 3/4 cups white sugar (2 cups if you are not going to frost)
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

3) Add the following and beat on medium for 2-3 minutes:
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

4) Stir in:
1 cup boiling water

warning: the batter will be thin.

5)Pour it into a Bundt Cake Pan, a round pan, or a 13"x9" baking pan. Baking time is between 40-50 minutes, when the cake passes the toothpick test. Move to a rack to cool completely.


This is the Maple Frosting I used. Easy!

Whip together:

1 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
1 Tbs of softened butter
1/2 tps vanilla
1/4 cup of maple syrup
add 1 Tbs of milk at a time while whipping until you get the right consistency.

Spread on cake and enjoy!
