Here is how you make Best Moist Chocolate Cake:

Preheat Oven to 300?F / 180?C / Gas Mark 3.Put all the dry ingredients in a large bowl.Add the oil, milk and boiling water and mix with an electric mixer until fully incorporated.Add the vanilla extract and the beaten egg, mix again for a minute or so, then pour the mixture into a 9" cake tin, which has been greased and lined with baking parchment (this is important, as the cake will stick to the pan without it).Bake for 1 hour until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.Allow the cake to cool completely in the tin. This is important, as the cake will be fragile and will break otherwise.When cool, remove from the tin and remove the baking parchment.To make the icing, beat the butter or margarine until creamy.Gradually beat in the icing sugar and cocoa powder, a little bit at a time, until the mixture is smooth and creamy.Beat in the rum or coffee liqueur.Spread the icing over the top and sides of the cake.Serves 12Number of Servings: 12Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user BIG_SCOTS_LASS.
