Chocolate Cake/Frosting's/Brownies

This is my husband's 1st favorite dessert. It's healthy the way I make it. Although its a pretty big cake for just the two of us to make. I normally make when we are having company. I nevered realize the things you can make using unsweetened cocoa.

Chocolate Cake

1 1/4 cups granulated sugar (I use coconut sugar)
1 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon salt (I don't use that much)
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla (I don't use)
1 3/4 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda AND powder
2 eggs
1/2 cup oil (right now I have always used avocado oil but sometime I will try almond oil)

Oven to 350 degree's. Grease and flour two nine inch or one oblong pan.
Mix all the ingredients together. Now add 1 cup boiling water. Pour into prepared pan or pans.

Bake 30 to 35 minutes.

You can substitute mayo in your cake for the eggs and oil. 
Example if your just substituting the oil 1/2 of mayo = 1/2 of oil
Also substitute mayo for eggs. 1/4 cup for each egg. 

Frosting

Creamy Chocolate Frosting

2 3/4 cups confectioner's sugar
6 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
6 Tablespoons butter softened
5 Tablespoons evaporated (I use regular milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla

Cream butter then add the rest of ingredients. Frost and enjoy. Ann's note: When I compare the sugar between the chocolate cake and the brownies its more sensible to make the cake. 

Brownies
1/2 cup oil
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla 
2 eggs
1/2 cup flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teas salt

Butter Frosting

1/3 cup butter softened
4 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Beat the butter until fluffy. Gradually add 2 cups of the sugar. Beat well. Slowly beat in the milk, vanilla and remaining sugar. Beat well. Frost and eat.
