Some good stuff!!!

The best cake ever
(I'm not sure the real name but this is the name I gave it)
This cake was made famous by my BFF Kristy. I just feel so guilty keeping it all to myself so I have got to share it will you all! My kids ask me for it daily!

*cake*
In sauce pan to boil then turn off and cool for a minute
1 cup hot water
1 stick butter
1/4 cup coco
In a mixer or bowl
2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs beaten
1/2 cup butter milk
(sour milk by adding a little bit of vinegar to the milk)
Grease jelly roll pan 350 degrees for 20-30
(25 minutes works good for me)

*frosting*
1 stick butter melted
1/4 cup coco
1/4 cup milk
about 3 cups powder sugar

While it's warm pour over cake
I'm telling you this cake is easy and will not disappoint!!! You have got to try it!





Next MY famous potato salad
(my husband thinks it's should be a daily thing I make)
It's super easy and pretty much like any other potato salad the key to to really mix it all together almost like mashed potatoes but it's a salad
10 potatoes boiled until really soft
10 hard boiled eggs
(we likes lots of eggs but you can do how ever many you want)
1 can of sliced black olives
5 green onions chopped
1/2 cup relish (sweet or dill)
1-1 1/2 cups REAL mayo
1/4 cup mustard
salt and pepper to taste
You can add or take away things you don't like or want less or more of but it's pretty basic. The only different thing I do which I think is what people like about it is I mash up the potatoes until they are almost smooth. It sounds weird but it so good!!! Give it a try!
