This one is very easy & yummy..posted by another message boarder.
One Bowl Chocolate cake
Roast pan size cake
3.5 c flour
3.5 c sugar
3 t/s Baking powder
1.5 c cocoa
1 cup oil
2 cups milk
3 t/s baking soda
1 t/s salt
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups of boiling water (added at end)
Put all ingredients (except for the water) in a large bowl mix well to a batter. Add boiling water and mix till smooth bake in the over at 160 for 1hr. you can split the mix and make two smaller cakes or make 1 smaller cake and put the rest into muffin tins the choice is completely up to you. This is an excellent cake if you have a large family or just want to impress people. Gets moister by the day so stays nice and fresh very similar to mud cake.
i use a basic choc icing..2 cups Icing sugar, 1/3 cup cocoa 1 tbsp butter & enough boiling water to makespreadable

shell I also use this recipe but cut the sugar back by 1 cup. 31/2 cups of sugar is alot. It made no difference to the taste of the cake. Still a good easy recipe. Just remembered I also cut the cocoa back to 1 cup. Still all good though.

Snap, samsnan ! I made this cake as a birthday cake and also cut the sugar by one cup, the cocoa back to one cup and the liquid by about a cup. It still made a really lovely moist cake.

This is an awesome recipe. I use it all the time. Even better than my sour cream choc cake.
