  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil

  2. Stir together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla; beat on medium speed of mixer 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin). Pour batter into prepared pans. 

  3. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks. Cool completely. 

CHOCOLATE FROSTING

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine
2/3 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Melt butter. Stir in cocoa. Alternately add powdered sugar and milk, beating to spreading consistency. Add small amount additional milk, if needed. Stir in vanilla. About 2 cups frosting.




Decorate as desired. I sprinkled mini semi-sweet chocolate chips around the outside, and using a peeler, I melted bittersweet Ghirardelli chocolate, and made chocolate flakes.

***DISCLAIMER**
Only eat this cake if you have nothing planned for the rest of the evening,
 it will put you in a sugar coma!
