Hi,this is one of my recipes for a chocolate cake, which is so easy, a
child can do it (and has). Always comes out great, keeps moist for 3-4
days, can be used in bundt form or cupcakes.

The batter comes out very thin, so don't be alarmed.

Chocolate Cake with Boiling Water

Preheat the oven to 345°F.
In a bowl of a mixer, place:

3/4 cup cocoa
1 + 3/4 cup white flour
1+1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1+1/2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup canola oil (cooking oil)

Mix all on high for 2 minutes, add 1 cup of boiling water, mix well. Use
spatula to mix all batter from the bottom and sides of the bowl. Pour
into buttered and floured bundt form, bake 45 min or until done in the
center (the toothpick method).

Here is another one for a simple eggless chocolate cake, but it uses
much less sugar and is a good size for a small family.

I make this one a lot (and give Goomba credit when I post it other
places). My family loves it.
