Quick-Fix Chocolate Cake With Easy Chocolate Frosting

• FOR THE CAKE:
• 1 box (18.25 Oz. Box) Chocolate Cake Mix
• 3 whole Eggs
• 3/4 cups Canola Oil
• 1/2 cups Water
• _____
• FOR THE FROSTING:
• 5 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
• 5 Tablespoons Milk
• 1 stick Butter
• 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• 1 box (1 Pound Box) Powdered Sugar
• 1/2 cups Chopped Pecans (optional)

1. Preheat the oven according to the package directions on the mix box and grease your pan(s). Pour all of the cake ingredients in a bowl and beat for 30 seconds on low, then for 2 minutes on high. Pour the batter into the greased pan(s), and place into the oven for the allotted cooking time (my 13x9 pan was in for 30 minutes). Place the baked cake on a counter to cool slightly.
2. Meanwhile, prepare the frosting. Pour the cocoa, milk, and butter into a bowl. Mix the ingredients until thoroughly incorporated. Pour mixture into a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Once the mixture reaches a boil, take it off the heat. Pour the mixture into a mixing bowl, and add vanilla and powdered sugar. Beat until ingredients are well incorporated and have reached your desired thickness. Add more powdered sugar for a thicker consistency, add less for a thinner consistency. If adding pecans, stir them in now.
3. Frost the cake while it is still warm, and enjoy thoroughly.
