Chocolate Naked Cake

Hello there all! Hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving! So i thought for this post i wanted to do a little something different and do a naked cake. In the middle of laundry, taking care of my 4 month old, house cleaning and doggy care, i decided to do something new for me and i think you will like it. this recipe can be used for a normal cake as well! I have use this cake recipe for about 6 years now.

Here is what you will need...

Cake:   

• 2 C Flour
• 2 C Sugar 
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 Tbsp baking soda
• 3/4 Cocoa powder
• 1 C milk
• 1 C water
• 1/2 C oil
• 2 eggs

Frosting:

• 1 Stick softened unsalted Butter
• 1 8oz Package softened Cream cheese
• 3/4 C powder sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla

What To Do: 

For the cake: pre-heat to 350 F 

Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a separate bowl combine the wet ingredients. Combine and whisk well so you don't have lumps of flour or cocoa powder. Pour into a greased sheet pan and bake T 350 F for about 30 min or until a tooth pick is inserted and comes out clean. Cake will have a spongy feel. Cool and cut out into size circles you prefer.

For the Frosting: 

Combine the cream cheese and butter and whip until fluffy about 2 min. Scrape sides and add powder sugar and vanilla. Mix another 2 min. 

 

Decorate how you please. use your imagination and be creative!
 ENJOY!!!
