Delicious Chocolate Cake For the Dearest Mother




3 cups                All purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp             Salt
3/4 tsp               Baking powder
1 1/2 tsp             Baking soda
2 2/3 cups            Sugar
1 cup + 2 Tb          Cocoa

1 cup + 2 Tb          Water
1 cup + 2 Tb          Canola oil

5 Large               Eggs
3/4 cup               Water
1 1/2 tsp             Vanilla

Frosting
1 box                 Powdered sugar
3.4 cup               Unsweetened cocoa
1 tsp or so           Liquid flavoring, vanilla, rum, or cognac
1 1/2 cup             Butter, firm, not cold


Oven Temp ~ 350°
Baking Time ~ 25-35 Min.

Method:
In a large bowl, sift or whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, sugar,
and cocoa.

Add 1 cup and 2 tablespoons of water and 1 cup and 2 tablespoons of canola oil. Mix
for 1 minute.
Add eggs, 3/4 cup of water, vanilla. Mix 5-6 minutes with a whisk, 3-4 minutes with a
hand mixer.

Pour into pans, bake, test by placing and removing a toothpick through the center at
25 minutes. When toothpick comes out clean, loosen from pans and then put back in
the pans. Let cakes cool for 15 minutes. Keep in the pans, wrap in foil, and put in the
freezer for at least 2 hours.

Frosting:

Put powdered sugar and 3/4 cup cocoa into a blender, mix until blended.

Drizzle in, until about the consistency of firm butter, several tablespoons of flavoring
liquid. When the flavor and consistency is right, add 1 1/2 cup of butter (firm, not
cold and not too soft). A good rule of thumb is that both the butter and the sugar
mixture should be slightly firmer than you would want it to be to spread it, since the
mixing action of the blender will warm it slightly. Mix until blended.

Remove the cakes from the freezer and from their pans. Stack, frosting each layer as
you go. Let sit for an hour before serving.




                      Enjoy the cake 
