Hello friends!  I have the best (and only) chocolate cake recipe that you will ever need.  It’s wonderful; plus, it’s super simple to make.  This recipe has been in my family ever since I was a little girl and I am told that this recipe comes from a woman that grew up with my parents and she used it as a wedding cake recipe.

Try it — I promise that you won’t be disappointed!

CHOCOLATE CAKE

Ingredients:

2 cups white sugar

3 cups flour

6 Tbsp. Hershey’s Cocoa Powder

2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

3/4 cup vegetable oil

2 Tbsp. vinegar

2 cups cold water

2 tsp. vanilla

Mix all of the above ingredients with an electric mixer until blended.  Bake at 350º for 30-40 minutes.

Now, who can eat a chocolate cake with anything but peanut butter icing?

PEANUT BUTTER ICING

1 pound confectioner’s sugar (2 cups)

1 tsp. vanilla

2 egg whites

3/4 stick softened butter

1/2 cup Crisco

1 cup peanut butter

Beat all ingredients together on low speed.  Add dribbles of milk to reach desired consistency.
