This is seriously the best cake ever. Everyone in my family only ever want this cake for their birthday cake. Tastes even better the next day. And you must frost it with Sour Cream Velvet Frosting.

3 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1/3 cup cocoa
2 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 t. vanilla
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sour milk (add 1 t. lemon juice to sweet milk)

Sift together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Add eggs, vanilla, vegetable oil and milk. Beat for 2 minutes. Add one cup very hot water and beat until thoroughly mixed. Pour batter into 2 greased and floured round cake pans, or 9 x 13 pan. Bake for 35 min. at 350 degrees. Let stand in pan 10 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool completely.
