This cake is a deep dark brown. It is so easy and comes out perfect everytime. When I moved to Israel, I gave Elyse cake decorating lessons and she shared this recipe with me. It is the only chocolate cake recipe I use. It is so easy, my husband (who can barely microwave a hot dog) made this for me and it turned out great. This is the perfect base if you are going to ice/decorate it. Just put it in the freezer overnight first and the icing spread beautifully. Just as easy as Duncan Hines and much cheaper too. Ingredients:
1 cup cocoa |
3 cups flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
2 1/2 cups sugar |
2 cups coffee (2 tspn. instant coffee plus 2 cups boiling water mixed) |
1 cup oil |
4 eggs |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
Directions:
1. Place all dry ingredients in the mixer.
2. Turn mixer on low and slowly add the wet ingredients 1 at a time.
3. Pour into 2 greased round pans or 2 square pans.
4. Bake 350 for 45minutes-1 hour.
5. Freezes well.
6. Hint: line the pans with baking paper for easy clean up.
