Yesterday I promised you the recipe for the best chocolate cake ever. This recipe came from the 'other' grandmother of one of my many cousins. It is often request my my husband's family and referred to simply as "that cake you make" If is more work than a box cake mix and a can of icing, but it is so much better that it is so worth the extra effort.
-mix together 2 c each sugar, self rising flour and 1 t cinnamon
-in a pan melt 2 sticks butter, add 4 T cocoa and bring to a boil.
_Pour cocoa mixture over flour and sugar mixture and mix well (it will not be enough liquid to blend completely
-add 2 eggs, 1/2 c milk, mix well. Pour into 9 x 13 pan and bake at 350 for 45 minutes
Icing
in a pan, bring 1 stick butter, 4 T cocoa and 6 T milk to a boil, remove from heat. Add 3 1/2 c powdered sugar (more or less, you are looking for a thick but still pourable consistency), and 1 t vanilla. Pour over cake while cake is still warm.
Enjoy the cake and Happy Easter.
