This is a family recipe from Chris. I made it today; he requested it for the BBQ his brother is having to celebrate Chris' birthday and the arrival of 2/3 of the kids. We have had a quick version of this in which you use a cake mix, a box of pudding, and chocolate chips. This is the "from scratch" recipe. It's worth running the oven for almost an hour in 90 degree temps!
6 tbsp. cocoa
2 C. flour
1/8 tsp. salt
1 1/2 C. sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
3/4 C. melted butter
2 eggs
1 C. cold water
1 pkg. instant chocolate pudding
1/4 C. water (or less)
1 bag semi sweet chocolate chips
Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan or line cupcake pan with paper liners.
Sift dry ingredients into bowl. Add wet ingredients up to the cup of cold water and beat well. Then add the pudding and some of the 1/4 C. water and continue to beat. Add more water if necessary to reach desired consistency. Stir in the bag of chips and then pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake in greased and floured pan at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes; only 20 minutes if you decide to make cupcakes.
This cake doesn't really need frosting. I dusted mine with powdered sugar.
