Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 c sugar
2 c flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 c cocoa powder
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 c vegetable oil
2 c very hot water

Steps:

  • 1. Mix all of your dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
  • 2. Add in the vanilla and the oil. Beat the eggs and add in. I always stir that much to blend before adding in the hot water.
  • 3. Carefully add in the hot water a little at a time and mix it well. The batter is going to be pretty loose and that is okay.
  • 4. Pour into greased and flour baking pan (13x9) and bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. Check center, insert a toothpick or a knife and when it is pulled from the center clean the cake is done. Let cool completely before frosting.
