Easy Chocolate Cake Recipe

Quick And Easy Chocolate Dessert Cake Recipe From Mom's Old Recipe Box

Searching for an easy chocolate cake recipe? You will love my Aunt Wilhelmina's Never Fail Chocolate Cake recipe.

It pays to be sceptical about a recipe that's called "Never Fail," but Aunt Wilhelmina McIlmoyle served this cake to us when we visited her, and it was delicious. She said it always turned out well.

This dessert cake is not only delicious, but it is quick and easy to make too. If you need to make a chocolate dessert cake in a hurry, this is the best chocolate cake recipe ever. That's why Mom asked Aunt Wilhelmina for the recipe back in the 1950s. Half a century later, it's now yours to enjoy.

Making this chocolate cake involves just two easy steps:

First Bowl:

1 cup brown sugar
1-1/2 cups flour
3 tablespoons cocoa
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Second Bowl:

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup hot water
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 unbeaten egg

Mix the ingredients in each bowl, then combine the two, and bake 350°F for 1/2 hour.

It's that easy!
