1/2 c Cocoa
2 c Sugar
2 Eggs
1/2 ts Salt
1 c Buttermilk
2 1/4 c All purpose flour
1 ts Vanilla
1 c Hot water
2 ts Baking soda
Combine oil, cocoa and sugar in mixing bowl and beat on low speed until
well-mixed. Add eggs; beat on medium speed until well blended. Add salt,
buttermilk, flour and vanilla. Add to mixture on low speed until combined;
then beat on high speed for 2 minutes. Add soda to hot water; dissolve
well. Add gradually to cake batter and mix just until combined. (Batter
will be very thin before baking.) Bake in greased and floured 13×9 inch
baking pan or 2 layer pans at 375 for 40 minutes. Test with a toothpick in
center of cake for doneness. Frost with Chocolate Fudge Frosting, if
desired.
