Here is a recipe that I have used for years and bakes well in a loaf pan. It is also easy to cut the recipe in half.
Moist Chocolate Cake
I found this recipe about 25 years ago and I haven’t baked any other chocolate cake since. It not only is the easiest and cheapest, it is by far the best tasting.
2 cups flour
3/4 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 cup sugar
2 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup oil
1 cup milk
1 cup hot coffee
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix dry ingredients together, and then add oil, coffee, and milk. Stir two minutes. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well. (This order of adding ingredients is important) Bake in two 9” x 5” loaf pans. Or it can be baked in two 9” layer pans. If baked in the layer pans, reduce the time to 30 to 35 minutes.
Bake at 325o for 40 to 45 minutes
Frost with cream cheese frosting.
