Quick Chocolate Cake

Serves 12

This cake is "old faithful". It always comes out great, it can be made in a flat pan, layers and even cupcakes. I've been making it for 30 years. Every party or occassion the kids had - this cake is a favorite. This is the only cake Einat knew how to make untill Rafi taught her how to cook.

Ingredients:

1 cup margerine
1 cup water
2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
6 tbs. cocoa
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 cup buttermilk (or yogurt)
1 tsp. vanilla (or vanilla sugar)

Preparation:

Melt margerine in water. Bring to a boil. (Since the microwave, I just put the margerine and water in a glass bowl and heat in the microwave).
Combine sugar, flour, baking powder and cocoa in a bowl.
Add melted margerine and water.
Stir in eggs.
Mix soda into buttermilk and add to batter.
Stir in vanilla.
Pour into greased flat pan, 2 layer pans or approx. 24 cup cake holders.
Bake medium heat approx. 30 min. or until top is set and toothpick comes out clean.
Great with any kind of frosting.

note: can be mixed by hand or mixer.
