Girls Night Recipe - Chocolate Cake With Glaze

Alberta Erin may have moved away (to Alberta if you didn't catch that) but even without tasting her latest creations I'm pretty sure she is one of the best cooks I know. However, she prefers to bake and has a thing for chocolate. I think every Girls Night is just screaming for a chocolate cake! Try this one:

Easy Chocolate Cake
From ERin

1 ¾ Cups of flour
2 cups of white sugar
1 ½ tsp of baking soda
1 ½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
½ cup vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup boiling water

Combine all dry ingredients and whisk until combined.
Add remaining (except water).
Beat for 2 minutes.
Stir in boiling water

9x13” pan at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes

Chocolate Glaze for Cake
From ERin

1 cup of white sugar
3 tbsp cornstarch
3 tbsp cocoa
1 cup boiling water

Combine until thickened (over low heat) in a saucepan.
Add 1 tbsp of butter and a tsp of vanilla
Spread while it is still slightly warm

Add 3/4 cup of cocoa to cake batter. It is missing in the original recipe :)
