HAND-ME-DOWN CHOCOLATE CAKE

I like rich, heavy chocolate cakes and this is one. From one of the Butler 19th ward cookbooks

HAND-ME-DOWN CHOCOLATE CAKE

  • 3/4 cups Butter 
  • 1 3/4 cups Sugar                                                          
  • 3 eggs                                                                
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla                    
  • 2 cups flour                                                               
  • 3/4 cups cocoa
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/3 cups water  
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy; add eggs and vanilla; beat 1 minute at medium speed. Combine and sift cocoa, baking soda, salt and flour. Add alternately with water to creamed mixture. Pour batter into two greased and floured 8-inch cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes. Frost with chocolate frosting.
