Ingredients
Cake
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1⁄3 cup cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups lukewarm water
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3⁄4 cup vegetable oil
icing 1
- 2 1⁄2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1⁄2 cup milk
- 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
icing 2 (Needs to be scaled way back)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter
- 1⁄4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- For Cake:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Stir first 5 ingredients directly into an ungreased 9X13 cake pan.
- In a bowl, stir together water, vinegar, and vanilla; pour over dry ingredients.
- Pour oil over all.
- Using a fork, stir until mixture is a uniform color and has no lumps.
- Bake 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Cool COMPLETELY in pan then frost with icing #1 and drizzle icing #2 over that.
- Icing #1.
- Whisk together flour and milk in a small saucepan over medium-high heat; cook, whisking constantly, until mixture has thickened.
- Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
- Beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add flour mixture and beat until icing is fluffy and sugar is dissolved.
- Icing #2.
- Needs to be scaled way down because if you use it all it makes a big soupy mess on top of the cake so I always throw MOST of this away!
- Combine first 5 ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat until butter melts, stirring well.
- Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil; cook 1 minute, without stirring.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
- Beat until thick.
- I always use one of those squirt bottles you can get anywhere for this step; pour into squirt bottle and drizzle as much as you want on top of cake over icing #1.
