 | Lisa's * Everyday Life June 2 | Welcome to my home this Sunday. Let's Bake Lisa - 2cups AP flour
- 1teaspoon salt
- 1teaspoon Baking powder
- 2teaspoons Baking soda
- 3⁄4cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2cups Sugar
- 1cup vegetable oil
- 1cup hot coffee
- 1cup Milk
- 2large Eggs
- 1teaspoon Vanilla
- FROSTING
- 1cup Milk
- 5tablespoons AP flour
- 1⁄2cup Butter softened
- 1⁄2cup Shortening
- 1cup Sugar
- 1teaspoon Vanilla
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together dry ingredients. Add oil, coffee and milk and mix at medium speed for 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla and beat 2 more minutes. Expect batter to be thin.
- Pour into a 9" x 13" greased and floured pan or 2- 9" round pans. Bake 9 x 13 pan for about 45 minutes or 9" pans for about 30 minutes. Cool in pans for about 15 minutes and then cool completely on racks.
- While cake is cooling make the icing: Combine the milk and flour in a saucepan and cook over low heat until thick, whisking constantly. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
- In a medium bowl, beat butter, shortening, sugar and vanilla until creamy. Add chilled milk and flour mixture and beat for 10 minutes. Frost cooled cake and enjoy! The frosting sounds intimidating, but it is worth it! By the way, for some reason, we prefer this cake chilled, right out of the refrigerator. The rich chocolate and cool frosting just seem to taste best this way.
