Canyon Park Cabin

This is from the Hershey’s chocolate cookbook that Mom has.

It’s a fabulously delicious, dark chocolate cake, that is really really easy.

Make it any way you need it - sheet cake, bundt cake, layer cake, cupcake. A real crowd pleaser as a sheet cake with chocolate frosting.

Use a big mixing bowl, electric mixer works fine, not necessary.

Black Magic Cake

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Spray your pan(s) with vegetable spray, dust with cocoa if you really want to

• 1 3/4 cup unsifted all-purpose flour
• 2 cups sugar
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk, sour milk, or milk
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup strong black coffee or hot water
• 1 tsp vanilla

Combine dry ingredients, add remaining ingredients and beat 2 minutes on medium speed. Batter will be thin. Pour into greased & floured pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes, cupcakes I’m not sure, until toothpick comes out clean - you can tell when the center is baked, don’t overbake. Cool completely before frosting.

What can I say? Perfection. No frosting needed. Great just plain.

I don’t recommend trying this at home, but it is also tasty with butter or cream cheese. Well, it is . . . I’m just sayin . . .I tried it This One Time
