scratch really isnt any harder than a box --i agree-- and the results are much better!

Lissa's Cake
Mix or sift together (I just dump in the bowl)
2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
6 tablespoons Cocoa powder
Add and mix:
2 eggs (medium or large)
2/3 cup vegetable oil
2 cups boiling water (yes boiling)
This mixture will look like a kids mud pie---very watery. Just mix until there are no lumps...
Bake in a greased and floured 9X13 inch pan. Bake at 350 about 30-40 minutes (depends on your oven, it cooks faster in gas ovens than in electric) Test by toothpick punched in center. It is done when the toothpick is dry.
I frost with almond flavored (DH's favorite flavoring) cream cheese frosting.
This is a very moist chocolate cake and for me easier to throw together than a box. Good luck and happy eating!
