Chocolate Easy Cake

Chocolate Easy Cake

2 c. sugar
2 c. flour
1/2 c. Butter
1/2 C shortening
4 Tbsp Cocoa
1 c. water
1/2 c. milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
2 eggs
pinch of salt
 
Boil the butter, shortening, cocoa and water. Add to the flour and sugar, then add everything else. Pour into a greased, 9x13 pan and bake at 375 for 20 min.
 
Frosting:
1/2 c. Butter
6 tbsp milk
4 tbsp cocoa
3 1/2 C powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 C chopped nuts (opt)

Melt/boil butter, milk and cocoa. Take off heat and add sugar and vanilla. Let cool slightly. 

Once cake is done and has cooled a bit, pour frosting over cake. Let it sit long enough for the frosting to harden a bit, then enjoy!

Scrummy!!!

  1. I made this without the shortening (substituted another 1/2 cup of butter for the shortening) and you couldn't tell the difference!
