Karen's Chocolate Birthday Cake

Moist- Chocolate & Easy ! I use a Texas Pecan Coffee- a praline or almond coffee would be good too ! also ...Mexican Vanilla is all I use- do not use imitation vanilla- real vanilla is much better.

• Ready In: 45 mins
• Serves: 15
• Yields: 1 cake

Ingredients

• 1 (18 ounce) box  yellow cake mix
• 2  eggs
• 1⁄2 cup  oil
• 1⁄3 cup  cocoa
• 3 1⁄2 ounces chocolate pudding mix, small
• 2  cups coffee
• 1  teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1⁄2 teaspoon  butter flavor extract

Directions

1. Mix all dry items- add wet then mix. This can be mixed by hand.
2. I mix until blended well.
3. 350 degrees- preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until set- use toothpick to test middle. My ovens both cook fast so check often- may take longer in your oven.
4. Cool then frost with your fave buttercream or cream cheese frosting.
5. I bake in a 9 by 13 pan- sprayed or use a pan coating to ensure easy removal.
6. Frost w/ fave frosting.
7. I like it chilled overnight and served the next day !
