1 2/3 cups sugar
3/4 cups butter, softened
2/3 cups baking cocoa
1 1/4 cups water
1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. baking powder
2 large eggs
Heat oven to 350. Grease and flour one 13X9, two 9 in. rounds or 3 8 inch round pans.
In large bowl, beat all ingredients on low 30 seconds then high for about 3 minutes, scraping the bowl occasionally. Pour into pans.
Bake 9X13 40 to 45 minutes, round pans 30 to 35 minutes or till toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan or on wire racks (depending on what you're doing with them afterwards).
This is my standard chocolate cake that gets used for lots of things like this Black Forest Cherry Cake so beautifully displayed below. It has also been used for snowman cakes, dinosaur cakes, heart cakes and shamrock cakes.
