Ingredients

  • 1 c butter (2 cubes)
  • 1/4 c baker's cocoa
  • 1 c water or leftover coffee
  • 2 c flour
  • 2 c white sugar
  • 1 t salt
  • 1 t soda
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 c buttermilk
  • 1 t vanilla

Directions

  1. Bring to boil: butter, baking cocoa and water/coffee. Let cool.

  2. Mix flour, sugar, salt and soda and pour the liquid over.

  3. Add eggs, buttermilk and vanilla.

  4. Beat well.

  5. Spray Pam or grease baking sheet (1/2 sheet). Pour batter into baking sheet.

  6. Bake 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

  7. Frosting: I buy the canned frosting and microwave it until it’s runny, then pour over the cake while it’s still hot. My kids also like it without the frosting.
