Mia's Birthday Cake

I know that it would sound like I was bragging if I told you how good this cake was. Ha ha.
It did not pass Mia's inspection without some lettering on it.  That way they could all beg for a piece with letters on it. 

My Very Favorite Chocolate Cake Recipe
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
2 cups Flour
1 pinch Salt
2 cups Sugar
¾ cups Dark Cocoa Powder (sifted)
2 whole Eggs
½ cup Vegetable Oil
1 cup Hot Coffee
1 cup Milk
2 teaspoons Vanilla

Mix dry ingredients and then add eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla. Stir to combine. Add hot coffee and stir until lumps are gone. Pour into greased pan. 
Bake at 350 for 30-35 min or until cake springs back from touch in center. Do not over bake. 

I use this one all the time.  Most often mixed up by hand even. No mixer necessary.

Do You Make These Cookies

Outrageous chocolate chip cookies

1 c butter

1 c p. butter

1 c sugar

2/3 packed brown sugar

2 eggs

1/2 tsp vanilla

2 c flour

1 c oatmeal

2 tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

8 oz chocolate chips

Makes 4 dozen max.  I made a batch and a half last time and fit them on 4 trays.They don't spread much.

Oh, bake at 350 for 10-12 min

Every time I serve these someone asks for the recipe.   Thought I'd quick share the recipe before you are all sick of cookies or maybe you are looking for a new kind to make.
