Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • ½ cup baking cocoa
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup warm water
  • Frosting
  • Sprinkles
  • **This cake can be enhanced if you have 1 tablespoon of espresso powder. Not necessary to make this great cake but you may want to try it on some occasion. I get mine at King Arthur Flour.
Instructions
  1. Prepare baking pans as desired. This recipe works well in a 9X13 pan as well as 8-inch rounds, 8-inch square pans or cupcake tins. If you are going to release the cake for decorating, grease and flour the pans well or use parchment paper for the bottom of the pans, greasing and flouring the sides adequately.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°
  3. In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine all dry ingredients.
  4. Pulse by turning the machine off and on again.
  5. Add oil, buttermilk, eggs and water.
  6. Mix at medium speed for about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary to combine the ingredients smoothly.
  7. Pour into prepared pans and bake at 350° for approximately 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center of the cake comes out clean.
  8. Cool completely before turning out of the pan for frosting and decorating.
  9. Throw on those sprinkles. They just sing "Happy Anything"!
