The Terrible Cake!!!

A Pittsburgh Steeler Super Bowl Bash - would not be complete without a Terrible Cake!! I'd like to think it somehow contributed to the Steeler becoming Super Bowl Champs?!?! Excuse my poor art skills and trust me - the taste... Good! Thanks to Erin's Food Files for the recipe!

The Terrible Cake: AKA - Oreo-like Cake

Hershey's Deep Dark Chocolate Cake
from Hershey's Recipes, as seen on Erin's Food Files

Ingredients
2 cups sugar
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup Hershey's Special Dark cocoa
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
6 Oreos crushed

Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round pans or a rectangular baking pan.

Stir together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla; beat on medium speed of electric mixer 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin). Pour batter into prepared pans.

Bake 30 to 35 minutes (I baked closer to 35 to 40 minutes because I used a rectangular pan) or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks. Cool completely.

Frost, then top with crushed Oreos (I omitted oreos & 'steeler'ed' mine out!)
