You can use a cake mix, if you have one. Or.....

Easy Chocolate Cake
This is a recipe I got from Miriam who never used to share recipes.
Mix 2 cups flour, 2 cups sugar, 1/2 cup oil, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tablespoon instant coffee, 1 cup water, and 2/3 cup cocoa. Add 2 tsp rum and 3 eggs. Mix well. Bake in 9 by 13 pan or 12 cupcakes at 350 for about half an hours. Enjoy!

Easy frosting is - take cake out of oven when done, and then sprinkle with chocolate chips.

they will melt and make a gorgous coating. which you then can serve as-is, or sprimkle with nuts, toasted coconuts, or sprinkles, as you like.

I forgot - be sure to spread the chips out with a spoon or knife as they will melt.

It's a bit expensive for frosting, but very easy and tasty. Enjoy it!

Mix together well and add:

Just by the way, the Ultimate Chocolate Cake from the Kosher Palette is ridiculously good and moist and chocolaty! Even my BIL, who "doesn't like dessert" LOVED it!
My sister made up the glaze.

Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour the pan of your choice.
Combine sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl, stirring until well blended.
Add milk, oil, vanilla, and eggs; beat at medium speed with an electric mixer for 2 minutes, occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl.
Fold in boiling water with a spoon or rubber spatula.
Bake for 25 to 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Chocolate Glaze

1 cup confectioners sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 cup canola oil
1/8 cup chocolate liquor or
1/4cup of oil
