Mr. X's Bday Cake

This might be the best chocolate cake ever tasted by man. I found this through pinterest and it will be the only cake recipe I use from now on--- so moist (Does anyone else hate that word?). Since Mr. X is an excavator, I made this cake. Because of my awkward picture taking skills, it looks like a pile of turds with some toys on it. However, I had each appropriate toy completing its appropriate task: bulldozer pushing the cake, tractor backhoe digging, off road dump truck "dumping" frosting, and the roller "panking" the cake. Mr. X really dug this cake :)

Chocolate cake recipe:

makes 2 8” cakes
1 1/3 C flour
1 2/3 C sugar
1/2 C cocoa
1 1/3 tsp baking soda
2/3 tsp salt
2/3 C oil
2/3 C sour cream
1 C water
4 tsp vinegar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla
oreos for decoration (optional)
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and prepare your pans with spray and wax paper and flour.
2. Mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add the oil and sour cream.
4. Gradually beat in the water.
5. Add vinegar and vanilla and blend.
6. Whisk in the eggs and beat until well-blended
7. Divide evenly into two prepared pans and bake 25-30 minutes.
8. Let cool completely before frosting---very important.

This cake was very moist and yummy. I used a buttercream frosting and it was system overload so I won't bother posting the frosting recipe. Enjoy!
