How To Make mee maw's chocolate cake
-
1Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Mix flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt for the cake in a large mixing bowl.
-
2Add the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, coffee, and eggs.
-
3Beat well. The batter will be thin.
-
4Prepare two 8-9 inch pans by greasing and flouring them. Evenly pour the batter into the prepared pans.
-
5Bake for approximately 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
-
6Once a toothpick comes clean, remove the cakes from the oven. Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Then remove from the pan and place on a cooling rack.
-
7Once the cakes are cool, beat together the ingredients for the frosting with a hand mixer.
-
8Place one cake on a cake plate. Smear a layer of frosting on top of the cake.
-
9Place the other cake on top of the frosting. Carefully smear the frosting over the sides and top of the cake. There should be enough for a thin layer.
