Wilson Chocolate Cake

Ingredients

2/3 cup butter, softened

2 cups sugar

2 larges eggs

3 cups flour

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons baking soda

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Grease a 9x13" glass baking dish.

Cream together butter, sugar, and eggs.

In a separate cup, stir together water and vanilla extract.

Slowly alternate incorporating the dry mixture and water/vanilla mixture into the butter mixture, until all ingredients form a runny batter.

Pour batter into greased baking dish, and bake for 35-40 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.

Cool completely, then top with Classic Butter Icing.
