Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate...







If you want the recipe, leave a comment

I've been asked for the recipe, so here it is:

1 3/4  of flour
3 tspoons of baking powder
1/4 tspoon of salt
1 tspoon of cinnamon 
1 1/2 cups of sugar
4 egg yolks 
4 ounces of unsweetened chocolate
4 ounces of sweetened chocolate
1 1/2 cups of buttermilk
1/2 cup of butter
1 tspoon of vanilla

Melt the chocolate, cream your sugar in a mixture, add egg yolks one at a time, beating very well after each egg. After the chocolate cools down, you add the melted chocolate to your sugar and egg mixture. Add vanilla, buttermilk, and the rest of the dry ingredients (flour is a dry ingredient). Beat well and in a separate bowl, take the egg whites and beat until fluffy. Fold in the egg whites into the mixture. Pour into two greased inch baking pans and bake 20 mins- 30 at 350. To make icing, melt two ten ounce block of good dark sweetened chocolate, then add 2/3 cups of butter, adding a little bit of heavy whipping cream to loosen the chocolate.
