Chocolate Cake

I'm too excited by the success of my chocolate cake to hold back from writing it until next week like I said I would. So l'kavod Shabbos, here it is. It's my spin on Hershey's chocolate cake that is found on the side of their cocoa cans

Use the best quality cocoa you can find for this - it really makes a huge difference. I used cocoa from Penzey's Spices since according to the Star-K cocoa powder does not need kosher certification, and it truly is the best cocoa powder out there.

Have fun baking, and again, hide this when you're done!! To quote one of my friends who tasted it 'this cake makes you cut a thin slice every few minutes and look both ways to make sure no one's eyeing you'.

Chocolate Cake

2 cups xylitol

½ cup oil

1 cup boiling water

2 tsp vanilla extract
