Chocolate Cake
I’m not a huge cake person but I LOVE this chocolate cake!!
Chocolate Cake
8 oz dark chocolate pieces
2/3 cup butter
1 cup of sugar
4 eggs
4 heaping tablespoons of flour
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1.5 teaspons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 tablespoons of sour cream
2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
9 oz semi sweet chocolate pieces
Line cake tin with grease paper and grease, melt dark chocolate pieces over
water, beat together eggs and sugar, mix in flour, cocoa powder,
baking powder and vanilla extract. Slowly fold in the melted butter
and chocolate mix with the sour cream. Bake suggested temp at 350
until toothpick is clean 40 minutes… Cut cake in half horizontally (I put half the batter into two 9 inch round cake pans and bake for about 25 minutes so I don’t have to deal with that cutting horizontally nonsense!)
Frosting:
Heat heavy cream in sauce pan so that it doesn’t burn and do not boil,
remove from heat, stir in semi sweet pieces, cool until thick. Then frost in between the two layers, and then all over the cake.
