1) 2 cups sugar
2) 1 3/4 cups of all purpose flour
3) 3/4 cup powdered cocoa
4) 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
5) 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
6) 1 teaspoon salt
7) 2 eggs
8) 1 cup whole milk
9) 1/2 cup vegetable oil
10) 2 teaspoons vanilla flavoring
Steps :
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F .
2) Grease and flour a 9" x 13" cake pan .
3) In a large bowl, stir together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
4) Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes or by hand.
5) Pour into prepared pan. With a spatula distribute batter evenly in the pan.
6) Bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
7) Cool completely and frost with your favorite frosting.
Tips :
1) This is a very delicate cake. If you opt to remove it from the pan, do so after a 10 minute cooling period.
2) If you plan on placing the cake on a cake board or foil lined cookie sheet, place the board or cookie sheet on top of the cake pan. Hold your hand on the center of the board or cookie sheet and slide your other hand under the cake pan and in one motion, flip the cake pan upside down, so the cake is gently placed on the board and not flipped and dropped from the pan.
Warnings
1) Flipping from the pan without cake board or foil lined cookie sheet support may cause large cracks in the cake.
2) Cooking spray comes in handy for oiling and flouring cake pans.
