Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups white sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup butter
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ¼ cup water
• ¾ teaspoon baking soda
• 5 eggs
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup butter, melted
• ¾ teaspoon baking powder
• 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
• 1 cup evaporated milk

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9 inch tube pan. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the 1 cup of evaporated milk and the 3/4 cup of cocoa. Heat until the cocoa is dissolved. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the eggs, melted butter, water, vanilla and the cocoa mixture, mix until well blended. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.

Step 3

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.

Step 4

To make the chocolate icing, combine the remaining condensed milk, evaporated milk, cocoa and butter in a saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick and paste-like. Spread over cooled cake.
