Quick and Easy Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting «««««
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup cocoa (I use 1/2 cup cocoa as I 2/3 cup is too chocolate for me)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
Peanut Butter Frosting:
5 tablespoons butter, softened
1 1/2 cups, plus 2 tablespoons, confectioners’ sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup smooth peanut butter
2 to 5 tablespoons 2 percent low-fat milk
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 13-by-9-inch baking pan.
To make cake, combine sugars, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla; whisk vigorously until smooth. Stir in boiling
water. Pour into prepared pan. Bake 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in
center comes out clean. Cool.
To make the frosting, mix butter, confectioners’ sugar and vanilla with a mixer;
beat well. Add peanut butter. Add 2 tablespoons milk slowly, beating until very
creamy. Add up to 3 additional tablespoons milk if necessary to achieve desired
consistency.
When cake has cooled, frost top. Serves 20.

Best Frosting I’ve Ever Had «««««
So
perfect on a chocolate cake that you’ll never frost one with anything else, ever
again.
1 cup Granulated Sugar (not Powdered Sugar!)
Bake your favorite chocolate cake and let it cool.
While the mixture is cooling, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Then add the cooled milk/flour/vanilla mixture and beat until it all combines and resembles whipped cream. Make sure the sugar has dissolved.
Grab a spoon and taste this wonderful goodness. If there
is any left after your taste test, spread it on a cooled chocolate cake. Cut
yourself a piece and put it on a pretty plate.
Grab a fork and prepare to experience the most divine pairing you can imagine.
This frosting on chocolate cake is to die for. Sure, the recipe sounds strange —
it has flour in it — but it’s sublime. Try it, you’ll see.
You’ll love it so much you won’t go back.

This recipes makes two 9X13
pans.
This recipe makes a very moist cake similar to a packaged cake mix.
The secret to this recipe is to have all ingredients at room temperature.
1 cup butter
2 1/2 cups white sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 cups buttermilk (I always substitute sour milk. I add 2-3 tablespoons vinegar to regular milk and let it stand for 5 to 10 minutes. You can also use plain yogurt or sour cream instead of buttermilk.)
3 3/4 cup all purpose flour
2 1/4 tsp baking powder
2 1/2 tsp baking soda
Pinch salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 9X13 pans.
Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar till light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
Beat in flour alternately with sour milk (milk, flour, milk, flour, milk, flour, milk). Always end with liquid. Mix just until incorporated. Pour into prepared pans.
Bake in preheated oven for 27 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of cake comes out clean. This will depend on your oven. Allow to cool.
Coconut Frosting / Filling
This frosting works great on the Moist Yellow Cake as the cake isn't very sweet. Depending on how much frosting you want, it will frost one or two cakes.
2 cups sour cream
2 cups white sugar
2 cups flaked coconut
1 (8-oz) container Cool Whip,
thawed
Combine sour cream and sugar; mix well. Stir in coconut. Fold in Cool Whip. Spread on top of cake.
Chill for several hours or overnight. It seems very sweet at first, but after chilling, the sweetness fades.
I also freeze this.
I have also sprinkled slivered almonds on top of the frosting just before serving.
