I got this recipe in the mail from a Realtor. Not sure what chocolate cake has to do with selling houses but nonetheless... Cook time does not include cooling time before icing.
Ingredients:
8 ounces cream cheese
1 cup margarine, softened
2 (1 lb) boxes powdered sugar
4 ounces bar baking chocolate, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup shortening
3 eggs
2 1/4 cups plain flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
Directions:
1. Mix cream cheese, margarine, powdered sugar, baking chocolate and vanilla in a bowl.
2. Take out 3 cups for icing and set aside; to the rest add the remaining ingredients.
3. Pour batter into 3 floured 9 cake pans. Bake at 350 F for 30 to 35 minutes. When layers are cooled spread with reserved icing, stacking each layer as it's iced.
