It doesn't matter what time of day or night. I always go for a good piece of chocolate. That is why I picked "Welcome Home, Mr. Anders" Chocolate Cake as my first recipe. This is the recipe we always make for my birthday cake. Delicious!
Ingredients:
2 c. all-purpose flour
2 c. sugar
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. baking powder
¾ c. water
½ c. butter
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
12 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa
4 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil or vegetable oil
1 Tbsp. lemon juice in ¾ c. measure fill rest with nonfat milk – let sit 5 minutes to sour milk
Instructions:
Heat oven to 350°. Grease, flour two 9-inch baking pans, line bottoms with wax paper. Measure all ingredients into large mixer bowl. Blend ½ minute on low speed, scraping bowl constantly. Beat 3 minutes high speed, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour evenly into pans.
Bake 30 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool on wire rack for 7 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely.
*Note: Mrs. Anders filled and frosted the top and sides of their cake with yummy chocolate frosting.
