Description

Directions

• This is a classic recipe of where you mix all the dry ingredients together in one bowl, and the wet ingredients will be stirred together in a saucepan, brought to a boil, then poured & mixed in with the dry ingredients.
• PREHEAT OVEN to 475
• In a large bowl add your dry ingredients:
• Sugar, Flour, Cinnamon, baking soda & powder, and salt. Whisk all the dry ingredients together.
• In a saucepan over med/high heat mix & stir together:
• Butter, Water & Cocoa. Cook & stir constantly until boiling.
• Remove from heat, pour & mix over the dry ingredients & blend well.
• Add your Buttermilk, 2 beaten eggs, and vanilla into your batter. Mix together, but not over mix.
• Pour batter into your 9x13 baking dish & bake for 15-20 minutes. Your batter will be very thin compared to box mixes, so do not be worried. The high baking temperature (475*) will bake it perfectly!
• Once cake is down, remove from oven & allow to cool a little.
• Once cake has cool to a warm temperature, its time to make your delicious frosting.
• In a saucepan add 1 stick of butter, cocoa and milk.
• Stir, Stir, Stir until on medium heat until you reach a boil.
• Remove from heat.
• Add box of powered sugar, SHIFTED!
• Add vanilla
• And stir together until all the powered sugar is dissolved. (YUMMY!)
• Pour your frosting on your cake when it is still warm, and the frosting is at a medium heat.
• The combination of the 2, truly is perfection!
