Desserts Easy & Quick

You can have a moist, homemade chocolate cake in about 30 minutes!

I was having a last minute dinner party a couple weeks ago and wanted a quick dessert.  I considered buying something, but I decided that baking a homemade cake would be faster than going out to the store.  I’ve used this recipe on a few occasions so I knew it was a winner.  It’s called One Bowl Chocolate Cake and I found it on Allrecipes.com.  It only takes minutes to combine the batter and 30 minutes to bake, then voila, you’ve got a rich, moist, delicious, homemade chocolate cake that your guests will love!  This dessert is easy, quick and impressive…my friend even asked if I used a cake mix.  You can whip up a quick frosting or do as I did and use a prepared can.  You’ll thank me for this one!  Enjoy!

ONE BOWL CHOCOLATE CAKE

2 cups white sugar
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two nine inch round pans.

In a large bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla, mix for 2 minutes on medium speed of mixer. Stir in the boiling water last. Batter will be thin.  Pour evenly into the prepared pans.

Bake 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until the cake tests done with a toothpick. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
