The Perfect Chocolate Cake

 I can think of about 1000 reasons to have a good chocolate cake recipe in my repertoire. Who doesn’t like to curl up on the couch with a warm piece of chocolate cake and a glass of milk? This girl sure does!

This is by far my favorite “from scratch” cake because it is so versatile. I don’t have any photos of just the cake but I do have photos of my cake loaded up with goodies, so…that will have to work.  It makes a lot of batter about 3, 9 inch rounds.

 

• 3 c Flour (All Purpose or Cake flour will work just fine) 
• 2.5 c Sugar
• 1 c Cocoa Powder
• 1 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
• 1 tsp Salt
• 2 c Evaporated Milk
• 1 c Melted Butter
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 2 tsp Almond Extract
• 3/4 c Chopped Chocolate Melted

 1. Combine flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, cocoa powder.

     (All the dry ingredients)

2. In a separate bowl mix the milk, butter, honey and extracts.

     (All the liquid ingredients except the melted chocolate)

3. Add in half of the dry mix then add the melted chocolate

    then the rest of the dry mix.

4. Pour into well greases baking dish and bake.

5. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
