Sweets! I love them!!

Crazy Chocolate Cake from Penzeys Spice Catalog

3 cups all purpose flour (298.1 g)
1/4 cup Cocoa Powder (27.8 g)
1 teaspoon salt (5.082 g)
2 teaspoons vinegar
2 cups water
2 cups Sugar (383.3 g)
2 teaspoons baking soda (8.576 g)
3/4 cup vegetable oil (canola oil) (157.9 g)
1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla  extract

Preheat oven 350 F. (177 C) Mix all ingredients together until smooth and bake in a greased 9x13 pan or 2 greased round cake pans. Bake the 9x13 inch pan for 30 minutes and the round pans 22-25 minutes. Cool on wire rack. If using round pans, remove cake from pans after about 30 minutes. Frost when completely cool. Any frosting is good, but I like Chocolate Frosting or Cream Cheese Frosting!

Frosting:
5 cups Powdered Sugar(650.6 g)
1/3 cup Cocoa Powder (43.37 g)
1/3 cup Butter, softened (76.42 g)
2-4 Tablespoons black coffee
Sift the powdered sugar and cocoa together into large bowl. Add butter and mix on low speed with mixer, add coffee to desired consistency.


Now for the Pretty!
