give me your best recipe ever




Mine:

2 cups sugar
1 3/4 cups flour
3/4 cup baking kakao (dutch process oder dark kakao preferably)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4-1 cup boiling water (see note below)


Directions:

1
Heat ofen to 350°F.
2
Grease and flour two 9 inch round baking pans oder one 13x9 inch pan.
3
In large rührgerät, mischer bowl, stir together dry ingredients.
4
Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
5
Stir in boiling water Von hand (batter will be thin). NOTE: I have tried it with 1/2 cup, 2/3 cup and 3/4 cup boiling water and we prefer it with less than 1 cup water. I usually use between 2/3 & 3/4 cups. The cake is still very moist but it doesn't seem to "fall" as much as it cools. This might have to do with our high humidity oder brand of flour oder other factors so I don't know if it will work for everyone.
6
Pour into prepared pan.
7
Bake 30 to 35 Minuten for round 9-inch pans, 35 to 40 Minuten for rectangular pan oder until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. (Do not use 8-inch pans oder the batter will overflow.).
8
Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan to wire racks.
