Chocolate Cake with Homemade Frosting

The reason why I chose this is because I truly adore chocolate cake and I love to cook it because, it is so easy and it taste so good.

This is how you make chocolate cake with home made frosting.

These are the directions to create chocolate cake.

• 
  
  Set your oven to 350 degrees F


• 
  
  Spray your pan with cooking spray so the cake will not stick to your pan


• 
  
  Blend the 1-1/4 cups of water with 1/3 cup of oil and three eggs in a large bowl
  
  
  Beat with a mixer on medium speed for two minutes or whisk by hand for two minutes

• When you insert a toothpick and it comes out clean than your cake is done


• Allow your cake to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before removing from the pan
  Cool cake completely before frosting





This is how you create the Class Buttercream Icing




• 1 cup of solid whit vegetable shortening




• 1 teaspoon of Wilton Flavor (Vanilla, Almond, or Butter)



• 1lb. pure cane confectioners' sugar (approximately 4 cups)
