Like Chocolate? This is the kind of cake that'll make you weak in the knees. It'll look like it's there's way too much liquid when you're pouring it into the pan, but trust me... it works, it's chocolate, it's really, really good.
The ingredients are listed in order. This isn't a store-bought box cake, so no need to whip the heck out of it. Put the ingredients in a mixing bowl one-by-one, mix a little, then put the next ingredient in until everything is in there.
Preheat your oven to 325ºF, and grab either two round pans or one 9 x 13 rectangle. Grease and flour your pans. No need to flour the sides, just the bottom.
2 Cups Sugar
1 Cup Vegetable Oil
2 Eggs
1 Cup Milk
1 Cup HOT Coffee
2 Tablespoons Vanilla Extract
1¼ Cups good quality Cocoa *see note at bottom
2 Cups Flour
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
2 Teaspoons Baking Soda
3/4 Cups Sour Cream
Once it's all in there, pour into your pan(s) and bake for 30-40 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. This cake is really moist, and works well with icing or just some whipped cream on top.
** About the Cocoa... When I originally baked this cake, I the recipe called for 3/4 of a cup of cocoa. It was good, but I really like a strong chocolate flavour. If you're looking for a lighter taste, try this out with only 1 cup of cocoa. I have modified this recipe pretty heavily from its original state, but once you try it... you'll never buy a box again.
