Here's a great recipe that I got from Sandy B a CTMH consultant's blog and it's very fast and easy! I have made several of her recipes and they all have been fantastic so you'll want to try this one!
Cake:
•2 cups granulated sugar
•1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
•3/4 cup cocoa powder
•1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
•1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
•1 tsp. salt
•2 eggs
•1 cup 2% milk
•1/2 cup vegetable oil
•2 tsp. vanilla extract
•1 cup boiling water
Method:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9" x 13" cake pan. Whisk together dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla to dry mixture. Beat on medium speed until well combined. Gradually stir in boiling water - batter will be thin - and pour into prepared pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the middle comes out clean. Cool before frosting.
Frosting:
•1 stick margarine, melted
•2/3 cup cocoa powder
•3 cups powdered sugar
•1/3 cup 2% milk
•1 tsp. vanilla extract
•1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans (optional)
Method:
Stir cocoa powder, vanilla and melted margarine together in medium mixing bowl. Alternately add powdered sugar and milk to chocolate mixture, and beat on medium speed. Add more milk if needed to reach a good spreading consistency. Spread on cooled cake and top with chopped pecans. Store tightly covered
