Okay everyone, this is a favorite among my friends. I've had one friend even show up at my door and request it for right then and there so she could bring it to a church social. Which I was more than happy to do. Also would like to mention that this cake has over 8,000 calories in it. What I do to help with this is instead of using 1- 9x13 cake pan, I buy the 3 pack of alluminium 8x8 pans and evenly split it between those. Once they're done I usually keep one for my husband and I, and give the other 2 away.
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
2 cups white sugar
2 sticks butter
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup coca cola
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
7 oz jar of marshmallow fluff
Method:
Preheat oven to 350 F.
1. In large bowl mix together flour and sugar.
2. In small pot, heat butter, cocoa powder, and coca cola to boiling point.
3. Immediately pour boiling mixture onto flour and sugar.
4. Add balomg soda to milk and then add to other mixture.
5. Add eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well.
6. Add marshmallow fluff and blend thoroughly.
7. Pour into ungreased cake pan(s).
8. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until inserted toothpick comes out clean.

A little magic to brighten the day
This following recipe is one of my all time favorites. It happens to actually be my mom's recipe, and the cake she always made for me every year for my birthday growing up. Enjoy!!
Black Magic Cake
Ingredients:
2 cups white sugar
1 3/4 cups flour
3/4 cups cocoa
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1 cup coffee or espresso
1 cup buttermilk or sour milk*
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or coconut)
Method:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour a 9x13 cake pan.
In large bowl, mix first 6 ingredients. After mixed well, blend in remaining ingredients one at a time.
Due to the fact that this is such a "wet" cake, the time it takes to bake varies. So I'll say it can be anywhere from 50-80 minutes. Once it's been in for 50 minutes, just keep an eye on it. In the end, it'll be very moist, and more than worth the time you put into it.
*To make sour milk, take 3/4 cups of milk, and add 1/4 cup of vinegar to it.
Enjoy!

Alright everyone, I'm going to share my absolute favorite cookie recipe with you. Be warned everyone, they are very fattening, so feel free to spread 'em around to your friends and family.
Ingredients:
1 stick of salted butter
1/2 cup of brown sugar (light or dark)
1/4 cup of white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon of vanilla or coconut extract
1 cup of flour
1/4 cup of cocoa powder (normal or special dark)
Dash of salt
3/4 cup of chocolate chips
3/4 cup of coconut or nuts
Method:
Preated oven to 350 F.
1. Cream butter and sugars together until light and fluffy.
2. Add egg and vanilla extract.
3. In seperate bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt together.
4. Slowly add flour mixture to butter mixture.
5. After everything is mixed well, fold in remaining 2 ingredients.
6. Distribute on baking sheet a couple inches apart. Should yield 24 cookies.
Enjoy...
*On a side note, I personally use dark chocolate cocoa powder when making these, as well as use coconut extract, shaved coconut, and white chocolate chips. I've made them both ways but prefer this way. Feel free to mix it up a bit, or add in your own little quirks.
