Mom's Decadent Chocolate Cake

Who doesn't love chocolate cake?  It has gotten me through some very tough kid induced mental/emotional breakdowns.  I always say the richer & more chocolate the better.  This cake is definitely  a rich chocolate flavor.  Perfect for hiding in the bathroom (while tiny fingers wiggle under the door) & drowning your sorrows.  It might even give you the strength to make it through another day!

• 1 TBS vanilla
• 1 ¼ milk
• 1 large egg

• 1 ½ C sugar
• 2 C flour

Frosting:

• 8 oz cream cheese
• ⅓ C butter
• 3 C powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• ½ C unsweetened coco powder

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease & lightly flour a 13 x 8 pan.
