Chocolate Cake - Recipe Included

Yesterday was a very good day! Kyle took Lilian to town and they went all over the place! They went shopping and had coffee at Dead River. Meanwhile, Aunt Marilyn and my mother, Mary Jane came out and we had home-made burritos and made an amazingly good dark chocolate cake. Here is the recipe for the delicious cake. I got parts of it from The Taste of Home Baking Book, but changed it quite a bit to make it much more delicious.


Sally's Sinfully Dark Chocolate Cake

Ingredients
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
4 tablespoons Hershey's Special Dark 100% Cacao
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons vegetable (or coconut) oil
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup cold water
1 cup chocolate chips
4 to 8 ounces sour cream




Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients (except the chocolate chips). Create three wells in the dry ingredients using a round metal spoon. Next pour oil, vanilla and vinegar in the wells separated from each other. Slowly pour water over all. Now grab a mixer and beat on the lowest speed until thoroughly combined into a thin batter. Now, grab a plastic baggie and in it put the chocolate chips as well as a small amount of flour. Now shake bag until the chips are fully dusted and then add them to the batter. This will help to prevent the chocolate chips from falling to the bottom of the pan while baking. Add the sour cream as desired and mix completley. Grease and flour two 9" circular baking pans and add batter. Put in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes.

While that is baking start on the frosting which we've described as tasting like chocolate air. Light and fluffy with a rich taste.
