Here is the cake recipe I promised yesterday. By the way, half of it was devoured by the time Bill left for the dorm. It goes fast!
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 3 Tbsp. cocoa
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 cup Miracle Whip
- 1 tsp. vanilla
Mix with electric mixer. Bake at 350 degrees. Ice with fudge frosting.
Soft Chocolate Fudge Frosting
- 2 Tbs. cocoa
- 1 1/4 cups cold milk
- 4 Tbsp. flour
- 2 Tbsp. butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
Sift flour, sugar and cocoa together, then add other ingredients in saucepan. Boil to the soft ball stage. Stir constantly until desired thickness. Cool. *My mother added this note: Jan, I usually cook it until it thickens, don't pay too much attention to the boiling stage. Love you, Mom -August 26th 1989
Mom always baked hers in a loaf pan. I usually bake mine in a bundt pan.
Blessings to you! Jan
