Chocolate Cake

Chocolate Cake

1 C. water
1 C. butter
3/4 C. cocoa
2 C. flour
2 C. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 eggs
1/2 C. milk
1 tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 350.  Put butter, water and cocoa in a saucepan and bring to a boil so that butter is melted.  This makes a sort of fudge base.  Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl.  Add the fudge sauce.  Crack the eggs and add them to the milk and vanilla in a liquid measuring cup.  (This helps the eggs not scramble when you add it to rest.)  Add  the milk mixture to the rest and stir up.  Add to sprayed (and flour dusted) cake pan and bake 25-30 minutes for regular cake, 45ish for bundt cake.  Let it sit for a minute or two after you get out of the oven and the flip onto a plate.  Drizze with ganache or dust with powdered sugar.   I think fresh sliced strawberries would be excellent with this!
