Chocolate Cake

[COOK TIME: 35 MIN]

Ingredients
2 cups white sugar
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips, finely ground, "powder"
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Grease and flour two 9 inch round cake pans.
Use the first set of ingredients to make the cake. In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, cocoa, chocolate chip "powder", baking soda, baking powder and salt.
Add the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla, mix for 3 minutes.
Stir in the boiling water.
Pour evenly into the two prepared pans.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to cool completely.

*********************************************************************
For the chocolate chip "powder" you pretty much want to put chocolate chips in a coffee grounder or food processor.
It works best if the chips are frozen.
If you want to substitute for the chocolate chip "powder"
add an extra 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
This is a very moist and rich cake, great for those who love chocolate.
For mine I put whipped cream frosting in the middle and triple chocolate fudge frosting over the top and sides of the cake.
