Great Grandma Young's Homemade Chocolate Cake

Step 1

In a mixing bowl combine the dry ingredients (The first five.)

Step 2

Add the water, oil, vanilla, and vinegar.

Step 3

Mix well (batter will be thin).

Step 4

Pour into a greased 13x9x2 inch pan or 2 9-inch round cake pans. Bake at 350 for 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely.

Step 5

Once the cake has cooled make the frosting. For frosting, in a mixing bowl mix cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar together until creamy.

Step 6

Add cocoa, salt, vanilla, and milk. Mix until creamy. Then frost your cooled cake and enjoy!

Step 7

NOTE: For the frosting, sometimes I melt the butter and mix it with wet ingredients in a bowl prior to adding it to the mixer. I found it makes it come out fantastic!
