Feeling Blue?? CHOCOLATE CAKE!!!

So, I woke up this morning feeling blue.  Not the oh, I'm feeling a little down, the - Nobody likes me, everybody hates me, I guess I'll go eat worms - down. Now, usually when I'm down I will either clean or bake.  Today I chose to bake! Why? Because it involves less work, and you get something scrumptious to eat afterward! The treat i decided to bake was a four layer chocolate fudge cake with a tasty Chocolate frosting! I know your mouth is watering! Mine was too. I began by baking the chocolate cake - now, I wish I could say that I made it from scratch, but I had a betty crocker box mix and it did the trick! And really, who can beat betty crocker?! And then I started on the choclate frosting!! YUM YUM! I found this easy and DELICIOUS recipe online, and I thought I would share! 

1. Two Sticks of Butter (softened)

2. Add 1/2 cup cocoa powder and whisk together

3. Then add 1 tsp of vanilla extract and 5 cups of powder sugar

4. Add 3-4 tbsp of milk and whisk until desired consistency.

See? Easy!! Then it was time to frost the cake!! 

This is my favorite part! 

Add some festive sprinkles and its ready to devour!  But I'm taking it to a ladies function tonight and it might look a little rough if a huge chunk was missing! 

BUT, I DID have the leftover frosting!!! 

And, it was OH, SO TASTY!! (Don't act like you don't lick the bowl! ) So, after I baked my cake, whipped up the forsting, iced and decorated said cake, and yes, even licked a couple of spoonfuls of frosting.  I am happy to say I am feeling some better.  Not a complete turn around, but I'm sure after I eat a piece of that luscious cake tonight at our meeting I'll be feeling even better! ;)  Happy Monday Everyone!!! Hope you can try this recipe soon, it's easy and delicious!
