Quick and Easy Chocolate Cake

This is a simple Hershey's recipe for a good, versatile chocolate cake.

Chocolate Cake

2 cups sugar

• 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup cocoa
• 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water

Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 9x13 pan (or a Bundt pan, or 2 9" pans). In a large bowl, mix together dry ingredients. Then add eggs, milk, oil, vanilla and mix with electric mixer for 2 minutes. Add water and mix until smooth (batter will be thin). Pour into baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes for 9" pans, 35-40 minutes for 9x13, and 55 minutes for Bundt pan. Remove from oven and let cool. When cool, ice cake with chocolate icing. (or if you are impatient like me, go ahead and ice it when it is warm and serve it warm with the icing dripping off of it)
