Jessica's Favorite Chocolate Cake

This is the chocolate cake I make for birthday's in this house!  Everyone loves it, and it is moist and super chocolatey!  For Mandy's birthday, I made the cake in 9" round pans, filled and topped it with fresh, homemade whipped cream and strawberries.  Wow, was it good!  I hope you enjoy this as much as we do!

Chocolate Cake:

Ingredients:
2C white sugar
1 3/4 C all-purpose flour
3/4 C cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1C evaporated milk
1/2 C vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
1C boiling water

Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees F.  Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
Stir together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in large bowl.  Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla; beat on medium speed of mixer for 2 minutes.  Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin).  Pour batter into prepared pans.  Bake 30-35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.  Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks.  Cool completely.  Frost.
