Cocoa Cake With Pudding Icing

"Another from the My Great Recipes collection. I don't know why it calls for the odd amount of sugar... I measure 1 cup and then remove 2 Tbsp to make 7/8 cup. This is a quick and easy cake and the icing makes the cake!"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a preschool teacher in Florida, here since marrying my hubby in Sept of '04. I have a stepdaughter. No kiddos of our own unless you count those with fur :-) We have 2 cats and 2 dogs who think they are cats. We are inovoled with our church and with our local American Legion post, where I cook breakfast once a month for the community, so I am always looking for new and fun breakfast/brunch ideas.
