Cake Recipe

Thanks to everyone who came to Tyson's party on Saturday! We had a blast, and he was really surprised. I told some of you I would put up the recipe for that yummy cake, so here you go:
"Grandma's Sinful Chocolate Cake"
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup oil
2 cups sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
2 1/4 cups unsifted flour
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup bakers cocoa
2 tsp baking soda
1 cup hot water

1. Mix first 5 ingredients
2. then add egss
3. add flour and buttermilk, alternating
4. mix cocoa/baking soda/water seperately, then add to mixture
5. bake at 350 for 40 minutes
6. be sure to butter/flour the pan!

We actually cooked it a little less than 40 minutes- that might have contributed to the moistness, as well as covering it up to transport it! Thats the first time it was that moist.

Cream Cheese Frosting:
1 cube butter
4oz cream cheese
3 cups powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
2-3 tbs milk
dash of salt

Mix everything together!
