Chocolate Dump Cake

This recipe is from my mom.  It is my favorite chocolate cake recipe right now.  So moist and delicious!

Ingredients:
Cake:
3 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1/3 cup cocoa
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
3/4 cup oil
2 cups water

Frosting:
1 stick butter (softened)
2/3 cup cocoa
3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1/3 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:
For cake: mix all cake ingredients together and pour batter into two round greased pans.  Bake in a 350 degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.  Once cooled, cut each in half.

For frosting:  beat butter and cocoa together first, and then beat in all other frosting ingredients.  Beat entire mixture for 2 to 3 minutes on medium speed.

Frost one half of one of the cakes, then set next layer of cake on top and frost, continue until all four layers are frosted and then frost around the cake.

Helpful Hints:
This recipe makes great cupcakes!

You can make this cake a white cake by just leaving out the cocoa if you want, but I think it's much better as chocolate!

I have made this cake into a chocolate mint cake and a chocolate orange cake by just adding 1 to 2 teaspoons of mint extract or orange extract to the frosting, or for the orange I have also added a little orange juice and orange zest to the frosting and it has turned out delicious!
