Method
- Mix all dry cake ingredients.
- Add boiling water, egg and vanilla.
- Pour into greased and floured 13x9 inch pan.
- Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees.
- If you have a hot oven, check at 35 minutes.
- Toothpick in center should come out clean when done.
- For frosting, mix dry ingredients, add water, vanilla and pb and mix well.
- Add more 10x, pb or cocoa depending on consistency and taste.
- Cool cake before frosting.
- This cake tends to lose it's top layer when frosted (it has a glossy top layer which is very moist) but if you like a heavy, dark chocolate cake, it is worth the effort.
- Just frost gently.
