I have been making this recipe for Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Walnut Frosting for as long as I can remember. It's delicious, chocolaty and decadent. It's not a super "high" cake which makes the chocolate walnut frosting really shine through. It's almost like eating a thin piece of cake with a thick piece of fudge on top.
My Grandma made this chocolate cake with chocolate walnut frosting often and it was and continues to be, my favorite chocolate cake. It's the only chocolate cake recipe. The frosting on the other hand, what can I say? You just have to taste it, to be a believer. You'll be eating spoonfuls of the stuff.This cake is always a big hit no matter where I bring it. I mean seriously, who in their right mind doesn't like chocolate cake with chocolate walnut frosting!
My Grandma said she got the recipe(s) off the back of a Hershey's cocoa container many years ago.
Grease and flour 13 x 9 inch glass baking dish.
Combine dry ingredients in large bowl; sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add eggs, buttermilk, oil and vanilla; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
Stir in boiling water; batter will be thin. Pour into baking dish.
Bake 25 to 35 minutes or until wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Cool cake for 15 minutes on wire rack.
Frost with Chocolate Walnut Fudge Frosting while cake is warm but not hot.
Melt together butter and cocoa. Add milk and vanilla. Stir in powdered sugar and nuts.
Spread frosting on warm cake.
Whenever someone asks me what kind of cake I like, I always say, chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate. This will do very nicely! I really like the sound of fudge frosting!
