OK, here is one from my wife, named for her Aunt Honey, it's Auntie Honey's chocolate cake. (or my birthday cake however you choose to look at it.) You can substitute decaf but that's just for wimps. And again, just for effect, (Mark and Kathie) that's just gross!

2 C flour
1-3/4 C sugar
1/2 C cocoa
1 T baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 C sour milk (if you don't have any, I add some vinegar to sour it)
1 C hot strong coffee (if you don't have any made, I use instant, but make it a bit strong)
2/3 C salad oil
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla

Mix all ingredients together. Bake in 350 degree oven for 45 minutes.
9x13 greased & floured pan.
Frost with fudge icing (below).

Fudge Icing -
2-1/2 C powdered sugar
4 sq baking chocolate
4 T margarine
1 tsp vanilla
dash salt
5 T milk

Melt margarine & chocolate over low heat. Remove from fire. Add remaining ingredients & beat until smooth. (If it gets a little lumpy, return to heat and beat, but watch so as not to scorch - add a few drops of milk.)
Spread over cake. (It's ok if it's a bit thick - it's yummy.)

Enjoy!
