Cake Recipe Help?!
Ok, here is a recipe I found on the internet:
MOIST CHOCOLATE CAKE
2 c!. sugar
2 c!. flour
1 tsp!. baking powder
2 tsp!. soda
Dash salt
1/2 c!. cocoa
1/2 c!. salad oil
1 c!. boiling water
2 eggs
1 c!. milk
1 tsp!. vanilla
Is there something that should be changed in here to make it better - I am sick of trial and error hehe!. Now I have a few questions!. When it says soda, that means baking soda, right!? and salad oil, does vegetable oil work!?

soda means bicarbonate of soda!. A light vegetable oil should be fine for 'salad oil'; canola, sunflower, safflower would all be fine!. TIP: To avoid problems do make sure you know what nationality the recipe is from, as cup and spoon measures are different in different countries!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
yes, soda is baking soda:) and you can usually replace shortening with vegetable oil (which is salad oil) !.!.!.!. I usually substitute the milk (or part of it) with sour cream to make a moister cake!. And, BEAT the batter at least 3 min (closer to 5 min is better) on a stand mixer!. It needs that long to get all the air incorporated into the batter, and you'll really notice a difference in the way the batter looks after 3 min!.!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
