25 20 45

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon baking cocoa
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Dash salt
  • 2 tablespoons beaten egg
  • 2 tablespoons 2% milk
  • FROSTING:
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4-1/2 teaspoons 2% milk
  • 1 tablespoon baking cocoa
  • 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pecans, toasted, optional

Directions

  • In a large saucepan, bring the butter, water and cocoa just to a boil. Immediately remove from the heat. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt; stir into butter mixture. Add egg and milk; mix well.
  • Pour into two 5-3/4-in. x 3-in. x 2-in. loaf pans coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt butter; add milk and cocoa. Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Whisk in confectioners' sugar and vanilla until smooth. Spread over cakes. Sprinkle with pecans if desired. Yield: 4 servings.

This recipe is perfect for just my husband and I without making a whole cake. I made it in a round cake pan and it turned out perfect. Delicious!! It was quick too.
