"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Directions:
1 In a large mixing bowl, add the following ingredients
one at a time, beating well after each addition: eggs,
white sugar, 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, oil, 1/2 cup
cocoa, buttermilk and vanilla. (Instead of buttermilk you
can use 3 tablespoons softened butter or margarine, 1/2
cup milk and 1 tablespoon vinegar.)
2 Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt;
add to the sugar and egg mixture. Blend well. Fold in
the boiling water.
3 Place batter in two greased and floured 8 inch round
cake pans. Sprinkle 1/2 cup chocolate chips over each pan.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 minutes. Cool.
4 To Make the Icing: Begin by beating together 1/2 cup
butter or margarine, confectioners' sugar and 2/3 cup cocoa;
add 1 teaspoon vanilla, milk and coffee. Beat until very
smooth. Add more confectioners' sugar until you obtain the
consistency you want. Spread on cake.
(I put raspberry jam in the middle and make a different icing.)
