For the cake:
2 cups sugar
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
Directions:1. Heat oven to 350°F. Spray an oven safe bowl with cooking spray. .2. Stir together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla; beat on medium speed of mixer 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin). Fill the bowl with batter. I baked for over 30 minutes and just kept testing with a toothpick, for doneness.Cool for 2 hour and them remove from bowl. I frosted with this chocolate frostinghttp://wholesomefeasts.blogspot.com/2008/11/checkerboard-cake.html that i use for my checkerboard cake. The frosting is excellent, not to sweet, the flavor is great. For the feathers on the bottom i used Stella Doro cookies( breakfast treat) spread some icing on them and then dipped in sanding sugar. For the next "layer" of feathers I used the Pepperidge Farms Milano cookies. I used the same method , a bit of icing and the sanding sugar and for the last layer of feathers I used Madeline with icing and sanding sugar. I decorated with peanut M&M's.
