Clint's chocolate cake

For those of you that LOVE chocolate cake as much as I do! Here is a recipe that my husband came up with and it is divine!

Clint's Chocolate cake

1 3/4 cup flour
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup cocoa
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp. Salt

Combine dry ingredients. Then add:
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup oil
2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup boiling water (add this at the end)
Add the boiling water after you beat the milk, eggs, oil vanilla with the dry ingredients.
The batter will be thin.

bake at 350 degrees for 30- 35 minutes

Emily's frosting

half a bag of powdered sugar
1 cup shortening
1/2 cup cocoa
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla

I like to taste it as I make it to see how much cocoa I want in it. You can add as much or as little milk that you want depending on how you like your frosting. Thick or thin.
