tephraJust another case of sticking a recipe here so I can find it easily again. :)
Makes one 13x9x2 or two 9" round cakes (and I'm currently testing it in a bundt pan.)
2 c sugar
13/4 c flour
3/4 c cocoa
11/2 tsp baking powder
11/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/2 c vegetable oil
1 cup milk
2 tsp vanilla
1 c boiling water
Mix the dry ingredients together throughly. Add eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla and beat until well combined. At this point it should be somewhere between a regular cake batter and a brownie batter is consistency. Stir in boiling water and immediately pour into prepared pan(s).
Bake at 350°F for 35 minutes or until a toothpick/skewer/cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
[ETA: Well the silicon bundt pan experiment was... interesting. The cake will bake up okay in a bundt but it takes about 50 minutes. It needs to cool significantly to unmold though since it's very delicate when hot or even just warm. If I try it again in this pan I will let it get stone cold before I try unmolding it. When you can turn the pan inside out sticking it's that much of a problem.]
