Very moist and chocolate-y!

  • Easy
  • Budget Friendly

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 1/4 cups cocoa
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 tsp. soda
  • 1 cup sour milk (or fresh milk with 1 Tbsp. vinegar added)
  • 1 cup hot water

Preparation

Step 1

Cream butter and sugar; beat in eggs.

Step 2

Sift dry ingredients and add to batter alternately with milk.

Step 3

Mix in hot water. Batter will be runny. Bake at 350° for 1-1.5 hr.

This is moist enough to eat as is or it can be iced/filled with chocolate buttercream frosting. If using 2 small layer pans, reduce cooking time accordingly.
