Ingredients
Cake:
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup DARK unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×13 baking pan with cooking spray.
- Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 30-35 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
- For the frosting, cream butter with a mixer and add sugar and cocoa. Add the milk and vanilla and beat for about 3 minutes until fluffy. If frosting is too soft, add a little more sugar. If frosting is too firm, add a little more milk. Spread frosting on top of cooled cake.
Sift together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Beat in eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Stir in the boiling water. Batter will be very thin.
