Posted by Grandma Jeanne on November 2, 2006

Here is a great tasting easy chocolate cake to make. One of my kids wrote “EXCELLENT” on the recipe. I remember it being nice and moist!

3/4 cup butter
1-3/4 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cocoa
1-1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/3 cup water

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs and vanilla. Beat 1 minute at medium speed.

Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Add alternately with water to creamed mixture.

Pour batter into two greased and floured 8 inch cake pans.

Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes.

Cool.

Frost with chocolate frosting.
