I'm new and am just curious what everyone's cake to make themselves with the recipe?
Mine is my Chocolate Cake
1 cup flour
1 stick softened butter
1 cup sugar(not Splenda, makes it hard, dense and salty)
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla
Mix and pour in a greased baking pan and put in oven on 375° for 25-30 minutes.

That cake looks so simple! I think I'll make one today!
Do you ice it or leave it plain?
Maybe I will just top it with some whipped cream or ice cream.

Sometimes I leave it plain, or add whipped cream, or ice it with vanilla icing, or ice cream or just powder sugar over top. It is best warm, and can be heated a touch in the microwave the next day. It is so easy to double the recipe as well. Good luck!
