Najla’s Birthday Cake

Last night I baked a moist chocolate cake for Najla’s birthday. It is our family tradition to bake our own cake for kids’ birthdays. They always request for the same type of cake. I wonder if they ever get tired of it.




For those who are interested in trying to bake the cake, here’s the recipe:

Ingredients

1. 2 cups flour
2. 2 cups sugar
3. 1 teaspoon baking soda
4. 1 cup water
5. 1 cup margarine
6. 1/3 cup cocoa powder
7. 2 eggs – lightly beaten
8. ½ cup fresh milk
9. 1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix the first 3 ingredients and set aside (A). Heat up the next 3 ingredients until the margarine melts (B). Pour B into A and stir until well blended. Add lightly beaten eggs and milk alternately. Add vanilla and pour batter into greased baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean (about 40 minutes). Good luck!
