Whopper Cake

This is my daughter’s favorite chocolate cake.  She loves to help me make it.  It is so moist and delicious.  Try frosting it with the Truffle Frosting for the most amazing dessert.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease and flour to 8 or 9 inch round cake pans.  In a large mizing bowl, add:

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 cup very hot water

1 cup butter

Mix until butter is broken down and large lumps have melted away.  Then add:

1 cup buttermilk

2 eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla

2 1/2 cups sugar

Beat until mixture is smooth.  Add:

3 cups flou

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

Beat again until smooth.  Pour batter into prepared cake pans.  Bake about 35-42 minutes or until tooth pick comes out of the middle of the cake clean.  Allow to cool and then frost as desired.

Serves up to 16
