Chocolate Cake

Hello, this is John. I made Amanda a chocolate cake for her birthday because she likes both chocolate and cakes. She then told me I had to give away all my cake baking secrets in this blog. I was not happy about that but eventually decided to go along with it. So here you go, the following is how I make my super delicious chocolate cake.


What you will need:
1 Box of Cake Mix (Betty Crocker, Duncan Hines and Pillsbury are a few of my favorites)
5/4 Cups Water
1/3 Cup Vegetable Oil
3 Eggs (Both Brown and White are acceptable)

What you will do:
Heat - Heat the oven to 350ºF. Grease bottom only of 13"x9" pan or bottom and sides of all other pans.
Beat - Beat cake mix, water, oil and eggs in large bowl on low speed for 30 seconds, then on medium speed for 2 minutes, scaping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan.
Bake - Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan. Cool completely before frosting.
Eat - If you need instructions for eating this might not be the blog for you.
VERDICT:
This was a pretty standard chocolate cake but it was baked with lots of love. The decorating job was top notch but my favorite part was the frosting. I give it 4 spoons.

Since chocolate is Kyle's favorite and you did such a good job with Aamnda's, you're in charge of the cake for Kyle's Birthday. :-)
