I'm not sure where this came from, but this is Tom's favorite chocolate cake. Be warned, it's chocolate-chocolate...

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9 inch cake pans.
  2. 2
    Use the first set of ingredients to make the cake. In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla, mix for 3 minutes with an electric mixer. Stir in the boiling water by hand. Pour evenly into the two prepared pans.
  3. 3
    Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to cool completely.
  4. 4
    To make the frosting, use the second set of ingredients. Cream butter until light and fluffy. Stir in the cocoa and confectioners' sugar alternately with the milk and vanilla. Beat to a spreading consistency.
  5. 5
    Split the layers of cooled cake horizontally, cover the top of each layer with frosting, then stack them onto a serving plate. Frost the outside of the cake.
  6. 6
    NOTE: For a REALLY rich cake, use Dutch Processed cocoa.

    Thank you for posting such a gret cake recipe. It soothed my resident chocoholic's cravings! His favorite is choc cake w/choc icing. He ate one large piece and asked for another immediately. The cake was easy to make, as well as greasing and flouring the cake pans, i also used parchment paper. The cakes came out with no problem. I used 2 whole sticks of butter in the frosting and 1 1/2 boxes of confectioner's sugar. Didn't bother to measure. It came out wonderful. Thanks tom and candy for posting such a great tasting recipoe.

    This is a very nice cake. I only made 1/2 of the recipe. It still made a lovely tall cake It was light, moist and tender, with a lovely chocolate flavour. The frosting was delicious Thank you so much for sharing Tom&Candy.

    I'm not a huge chocolate fan, so I'm rating this based on the reaction of the chocoholics in the family. The three of them were speechless. Between grunts, I heard the word "amazing" over and over. An obvious hit in this house.
