Brazilian Chocolate Cake

Ingredients

½ cup oil
1 ½ cup sugar
2 eggs
½ cup cocoa
2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1½ cup milk
2 tsp soda
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup boiling water

Preheat oven to 350˚ 25-30 minutes.

Prepare a rectangle cake pan. Mix all wet ingredients excluding boiling water. Add dry ingredients and mix well. The very last step is to add the boiling water, as soon as you mix it pour batter into pan and put in oven right away. Batter is very liquidy. Cake is done when a toothpick comes out clean. Allow cake to cool before frosting.

Frosting Ingredients

1 stick of butter
6 tablespoons canned milk (evaporated)
1 teaspoon vanilla
¼ cocoa (make sure to sift it!!!)
½ bag powder sugar

Bring milk and butter to a boil in a small sauce pan. Allow to boil for 1 minute. Add vanilla and coco and stir until completely dissolved. Remove from heat and add ½ bag of powdered sugar. This frosting is really runny. Pour directly onto cake while it is hot. This frosting will set up, and sets up quick, so move fast! Allow frosting to set up before serving! ENJOY!!!
