My "Go-To" Birthday Cake. Happy 3rd Birthday to my little boy. And thanks to adjustments needed at 7000', we managed to have a successful cake with no sunken hole in the middle!

2 c. minus 2 Tbsp. sugar
1 3/4 c. flour
3/4 c. Hershey's cocoa
1 1/4 tsp. baking powder
1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 large eggs
1 c. plus 2 Tbsp. milk
1/2 c. canola oil
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 c. boiling water
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 9" round pans. (I also bake this in a 9 x 13 pan occasionally). Stir together sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in bowl. Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla. Beat with a mixer for 2 minutes. Carefully stir in boiling water. Pour into pans.
Bake 30-35 minutes until toothpick in the center comes out clean.

I tried this recipe today and it flowed over the sides of the pans and all over the bottom of my oven. Cake tastes great but apparently something went wrong.
ReplyDeleteI had that happen the first time I tried Hershey cake… I guess I’m a glutton for punishment because I keep trying the recipe over and over. Next will be this high altitude tweak. I did purchase Wilton 9 inch cake pans. They are deeper to prevent the overflow.
