Chocolate Cake Recipe

From the Food Network. This cake is amazing.

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups brown sugar
3/4 cup cocoa
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup boiling water
Confectioners' sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine dry ingredients in large bowl and slowly whisk in wet ingredients. Pour into greased 9 by 12-inch baking pan and bake for 25 minutes. Allow to cool. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve.

Now, I use this recipe for cream cheese frosting. I like it because you can control the amount of sweetness.

1/2 cup butter
One small package cream cheese
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 pound confectioners sugar

Mix the butter, cream cheese and vanilla extract together. I soften the butter and cream cheese in the microwave before mixing by hand. Stir in the confectioners sugar 1/2 cup at a time until you think it is sweet enough. Ice the cake and enjoy!

P.S. Keep this cake in the fridge, covered. There is nothing worse than warm cream cheese frosting.
