Quick-Fix Chocolate Cake with Easy Chocolate Frosting

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 13×9 pan was in for 30 minutes). Place the baked cake on a counter to cool slightly.

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.

Frost the cake while it is still warm, and enjoy thoroughly.
