When the weather is dreary and ambitions to go outdoors are low, the time is right to bake a cake. Nothing to difficult, no layers galore, just a simple chocolate cake to enjoy over a cup of coffee. I have had this recipe floating through the house taken down on an old realtor scratch pad waiting for the right time to test it out.
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup milk
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
3 cups flour
3 tbsp baking powder
3/4 cup cocoa powder
pinch of salt
1 cup strong coffee
Combine milk, oil and sugar until well blended. Add eggs one at a time. Add vanilla and blend thoroughly. In a separate bowl sift together flour, baking powder, cocoa and salt. Add flour mixture to batter alternating with coffee. Pour mix into a 10" springform pan and put in the oven at 350F for about 65 mins.
Fair warning to all who make this, don't expect to have any leftovers!
