Growing up, we always made cakes from a box of Betty Crocker cake mix. I thought that was the only way to make a cake. Well, the first time I ever made a cake from scratch was when I found a recipe in The Pantry cookbook for chocolate cake. I thought Betty was the only person who could make a cake. What a surprise! One reason I like this recipe is because I usually have all the ingredients already in the pantry and don't have to run to the store. Enjoy!
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups flour
4 tablespoons cocoa
1/2 cup Wesson oil
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup water
2 eggs beaten
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup milk (it calls for buttermilk, but we never have buttermilk)
Mix all ingredients together except milk. Add last to prevent batter from being lumpy. Pour into 9"x13" pan. Bake at 350 for approximately 20-25 minutes until center is set. Frost with your favorite icing.
