In the meantime, I have a few recipes for you to try should you have a sweet tooth right now. My parents are going camping this weekend and my mom requested I bake a few treats for them and while I was in the kitchen I decided to whip up a chocolate cake to take to work this evening.
Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Frosting (known as "choco choco" in our household)
3 cups flour
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons cocoa
1 cup canola oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups cold water
2 tablespoons white vinegar
Frosting:
1 1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar, divided
1/3 cup cocoa
1/4 cup softened butter
3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the liquids, adding the vinegar last. Grease and flour a 9x12 inch pan. Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes. Let cool before frosting.
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup boiling water
2 cup quick cooking oats
1 1/2 cup chocolate chips (I use the mini ones)
