Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees F.

• In an extra large mixing bowl, combine all the cake ingredients; mix on medium speed of an electric mixer for about 3 minutes or until very well combined.
• Bake for about 50-60 minutes or until the cake tests done (if using the streusal the cake will take slightly longer to bake).

• Frost or glaze if desired when completely cooled.
• STREUSAL; this is only optional and may be sprinkled in the middle of the batter, mix together 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts with 1/4 cup shredded coconut, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon and 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder.

BEST EVER DARK CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• First, sift (or push through metal strainer) the cocoa powder to get all of the lumps out.
• Mix in sugar and flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Wisk well.
• Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla. Mix well, the batter will be very thick.
• Last, add the boiling water. After mixing, the batter will now be very thin.
• Pour into 2 9 inch rounds (greased and floured), 1 9x13 (greased and floured) or about 26 standard sized cupcakes with paper liners. With this thin batter, its about 1/4 cup of batter per cup. (Or, 2 full muffin pans and another small sized something for the extra).
• Bake at 350. 30-35 minutes for cakes and 20-25 minutes for cupcakes.
• These don't rise to be very large and puffy. They have a flat top, perfect for frosting.

DARK CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Grease and flour two 9 inch round baking pans or one 13x9 inch pan.
• In large mixer bowl, stir together dry ingredients.
• Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
• Stir in boiling water by hand (batter will be thin). NOTE: I have tried it with 1/2 cup, 2/3 cup and 3/4 cup boiling water and we prefer it with less than 1 cup water. I usually use between 2/3 & 3/4 cups. The cake is still very moist but it doesn't seem to "fall" as much as it cools. This might have to do with our high humidity or brand of flour or other factors so I don't know if it will work for everyone.
• Pour into prepared pan.
• Bake 30 to 35 minutes for round 9-inch pans, 35 to 40 minutes for rectangular pan or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. (Do not use 8-inch pans or the batter will overflow.).
• Because they have a tendency to overflow if you fill them more than 2/3 full, I usually get about 27-28 cupcakes per batch. Bake for approximately 18-20 minutes.
• Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan to wire racks.
• Please note: baking cocoa isn't hot chocolate drink mix! Baking cocoa contains no sugar and it is found on the baking aisle. Chocolate drink mixes that you add to milk or water to drink WILL NOT work in this recipe.
