Linny's Lucious Lickings

My Chocolate Cake and Frosting
From the Kitchen of Linda Snyder
 

3 Cups Flour
2 Cup Sugar
6 Tablespoons Baking Cocoa
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1 Teaspoon Salt
12 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
2 Tablespoon Vinegar
2 Teaspoon Vanilla
2 Cup Cold Water

Mix ALL of the ingredients together. Do NOT overly mix. Pour into a un-greased 9 x 13" baking dish. Bake for about 30-35 minutes at 350 degrees.
(Insert a toothpick and if it comes out clean then the cake is done.)
Frost as soon as it has cooled for a bit.

 

My Youngest, Willy. I made the cake for his birthday!

Chocolate Frosting
From the Kitchen of Linda Snyder

 

1/3 Cup Softened Butter  (Margarine can be used also but better with the real thing!)
3 Cups Powdered Sugar
1 1/2 Teaspoons Vanilla
1/2 Cup Baking Cocoa
About 2 Tablespoons Milk

(If you prefer white frosting instead of chocolate then don't add the baking cocoa)

Mix the butter and sugar. Add the vanilla and milk. Mix it until the frosting is smooth or the right consistency to frost with. If too think you can add a couple of DROPS of milk at a time. But be careful...too much will make it too thin.

Some of you may have seen a recipe like this one out there. There are many variations of it. But this is the one that my Mom made when we were kids and I just have just continued on with the tradition and make it for my family.

It is a very heavy cake. But oh so good, specially still slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top...YUM!!
