Hot Chocolate Cake (Skateboard)

2 eggs

1 cup of sugar

1/2 cups of canola oil

1 cup of  buttermilk

4 Tbsp. of cocoa

2 cups of flour

1 tsp. of baking powder

1 cup of hot chocolate (stir 2 heaping Tbsp. of hot chocolate

powder into 1 cup of boiling water)

1 tsp. of vanilla

1 tsp. of baking soda

1 tub of Betty Crocker icing per 9 x 13 cake.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

Spray or butter a 9 x  13 cake pan

Mix eggs, sugar, oil, buttermilk, vanilla, baking soda, and

cocoa in large bowl. Slowly stir in hot chocolate, flour, and baking

powder. Blend or beat until smooth. Pour into a greased 9 x 13

cake pan. Bake for 20 – 30 minutes or until toothpick comes out

clean. Do not over bake.

To make the skateboard cake above, you will need 3 – 9 x 13

cake. Trace your skateboard. Cut cake to fit. It is much easier

to ice when the cake is frozen.  I iced the cake in three sections.

Put it together on the skateboard the day of your party and add

a bit more icing to attach your cakes. When you are doing the

finishing touches to the icing, dip your knife into cold water.

This will give your cake a smooth finish. I had 40 people to

my sons birthday party. Everyone loved this cake!
