My wife's recipe. Rich, moist, delicious chocolate cake!
Oven temp @ 350*
Grease 13x9 cake pan with butter or Crisco, then coat very lightly with flour. Tap excess flour out of the pan.
Sift these DRY ingredients into a large mixing bowl with a fork:
In another large mixing bowl, thoroughly mix the following WET ingredients:
Add the DRY mix into the WET stuff about 1/3 of the bowl at a time to avoid excessive clumping. Stir together until completely moistened, tiny lumps are ok. Pour into prepared pan. Now, if you want, is the time to sprinkle a few chocolate chips across the top; make sure they sink so they don't burn.
Bake time is approximate, check at 30-35 minutes. (Stick a toothpick or butter knife in the middle; if it's totally done, they'll come out clean.) You may need to let the cake go back in for an extra few minutes.
Cool completely before icing.
