Chocolate Cake 

How To Make a Chocolate Cake =>

Ingredients:

o       1/2 cup cocoa powder
o       1/2 hot water
o       2/3 cup shortening such as butter or margarine
o       1 3/4 cups sugar

o       1 tsp vanilla
o       2 eggs
o       2 1/4 cups sifter all-purpose flour
o       1 1/2 tsp baking soda
o       1/2 tsp salt
o       1 1/3 cup evaporated milk

Steps :

• In a small bowl, combine the cocoa powder and hot water. Stir thoroughly until it is completely dissolved. Set aside. This is the cocoa mixture.
• In another bowl, beat the shortening with an electric mixer. Slowly add sugar, then vanilla. Blend in eggs. This is the creamed mixture.
• In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt.
• Alternately add the flour mixture and milk to the creamed mixture. Blend in the cocoa mixture. Pour the batter into two greased round pans.
• Leave a 1/2-inch headspace. Bake at 350°F for 35-40 minutes. To check if the cake is already done, insert a toothpick into the cake. If toothpick comes out dry, then the cake is already done.
• Cool cake before spreading icing or frosting. One frosting that will complement our very special chocolate cake is the chocolate frosting.
