I made this blog upon request of my friends and others asking me for recipes. I do not use them most of the time and go off of taste. I will post here what I make. I may add in some "in process" photos too if I remember to snap them. I LOVE to bake. Especially with the help of my Kitchenaid mixer. I got it for $65 at Home Depot Memorial Day 2011. I have the 5Q Artisan mixer for reference for the recipes. At the end of 2013 I bought a Professional 600 mixer for $80 at Kohls (eeek!).

Easy Chocolate Cake
Ingredients:
1c all-purpose flour
1c sugar
1/2c unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2tsp baking soda
1/4tsp baking powder
1/4tsp salt
3/4c milk (I used whole since that is what we have)
1/3c cooking oil
1tsp vanilla
1 egg
Preheat to 350. Use 8*8*2 baking pan or 9*1.5" round. I used a 9*9*2 and the cake came out very thin.
Grease and flour pans.
Stir in flour, sugar, cocoa powder, soda, baking powder, and salt. Add in milk, oil, and vanilla. Combine on low until all combined. Beat about 2 minutes on medium speed. Add the egg and beat for another 2 minutes. Pour into pans.
Bake 30-35 minutes. I had to bake for 32 minutes in the 9*9*2 pan.
*done when toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean
