ONE BOWL CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH CREAMY FROSTING


Ingredients

For the cake:

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup hot water

For the frosting:

  • 1/4 cup margarine
  • 1/2 block (4 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350f degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, mix together all the cake ingredients (except the hot water.) This part can be done by hand or with an electric/stand mixer.
  • Once combined, gently stir in hot water. This needs to be stirred by hand. If you use an electric or stand mixer, the water may slosh right out of the bowl. Batter will be thin.
  • Pour batter into prepared baking dish.
  • Bake for about 35-45 minutes (until it bounces back to the touch or a toothpick inserted comes out clean.)
  • Allow to cool completely before making frosting.
  • When ready, in a medium bowl, mix together all the frosting ingredients. This is easiest using an electric mixer. Spread frosting onto cooled cake. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top.
