Sunday, October 17th was the first annual Bentabulous Day.
My mom's side of the family is addicted to chocolate, pretty much every one of us. Last week my cousin was saying how much she wanted to make a chocolate cake. For some reason, she felt she needed a reason to make a cake. So, we came up with a reason, Bentabulous Day!
I made a cake called the 15-minute Chocolate Cake. The recipe has been requested, so here it is! It was delicious. I will definitely be making it again, soon.
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup canola or light olive oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup boiling water
powdered sugar for dusting
1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Butter a 10 inch round cake pan. (I used cupcake tins)
2. In a large bowl, stir the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined. Add the egg, milk, oil, and vanilla to the flour mixture and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. With the mixer on low, beat in the water; the batter will be thin.
3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center of the cake comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Unmold onto a wire rack and let cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar and cut into edges to serve.
(Apparently, unmold is not a word, it keeps getting underlined by spell check!:)
Enjoy! Next time I will take pictures to post!

Delicious. I will put that on my list of things to try. It is getting to be a long list.
YUM. As a fellow chocaholic, I can definitely appreciate a good chocolate cake recipe. Thanks for sharing!
One never needs a reason to make a chocolate cake beyond just wanting to...Glad you went ahead and did it.
Keep up the God work.
