Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup hot water
  • ⅔ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 5 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3½ cups powdered sugar (sifted)
  • sprinkles (for topping (optional))

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • To make the cake, mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
  • Add eggs, buttermilk, hot water and oil and beat together with a hand mixer until combined and smooth (it should be runny). Pour into a greased 11-x-15-inch baking dish.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • To make the frosting, melt butter in a medium pot over low heat. Add cocoa powder, milk and vanilla and whisk until smooth. Add powdered sugar and whisk until smooth.
  • Remove from the heat and pour over the warm cake. Spread frosting quickly and add sprinkles right away, since frosting sets up quickly.
