Chocolate Cake
Ingredients:
1 3/4 cup sugar
2 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 tsp. salt
1 Tblsp. baking soda

2/3 cup oil
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup hot coffee
Instructions:
In a large bowl mix all the dry ingredients: sugar, flour, baking cocoa, salt and soda. Sift dry ingredients.

In a separate bowl mix oil, egg, vanilla and buttermilk.
Next, add dry ingredients to buttermilk mixture. Grandma says not to use an electric mixer. She uses a large serving spoon to mix. Stir until all is mixed well.

Last, add a cup of hot coffee. The batter will be quite thin. Don't worry this is fine. Pour into a 9x13 greased pan.

Bake @ 350 degrees
about 45 minutes
Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting
2 Nestle's Baking Squares
1T. coffee or milk
1 pkgs. cream cheese
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar

Melt chocolate squares in a sauce pan over low heat.
Stirring constantly.  A double boiler is best, but a sauce
pan will work. Next, add the coffee and cream cheese till creamy. Gradually, add the powdered sugar. It is best to add the vanilla last. Let the frosting cool for a few minutes and it is ready.

This makes enough frosting for a 9x13 cake. For a darker
frosting add another chocolate square. Enjoy!
