Chocolate Cake

This is my favorite dessert, super moist chocolate cake. You can't beat a good homemade cake, MMmmmmmmmm.

2 c. flour, I add an extra 1/2 c. to this, just for a bit more firmness, but don't overbake if you add this extra flour
1 t. salt
1 t. b. powder
2 t. b. soda
3/4 c. cocoa
2 c. sugar
1 c. canola oil
1 c. hot coffee
1 c. milk
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla
Mix or sift dry ingredients together and then add oil, milk and coffee. Mix on high for 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla, mix for another 2 minutes. Pour batter into two greased and floured 9-inch rounds. Bake at 325 for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Optional:
Cream Cheese Frosting
4 oz. cream cheese
1/4 c. butter
2 c. powdered sugar, more or less
1 t. vanilla

I frosted the cake with Creamy Chocolate Frosting, for an extra chocolaty dessert, but you can use what you like.
