Simple Chocolate Cake
INGREDIENTS:
4 (1 oz.) squares unsweetened chocolate
1/2 cup butter
1 cup water
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
pinch of salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1-1/4 tsp. baking soda
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
2 (1 oz.) squares unsweetened chocolate
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
4 cups powdered sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large saucepan, melt 4 squares chocolate and 1/2 cup butter in the hot water and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add flour, sugar and salt. Mix well with a wire whisk or eggbeater.
Then stir in buttermilk, baking soda, eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth. Pour into 13x9'; pan and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, until the top springs back when touched with a fingertip.
While the cake is baking, make the frosting. In a heavy saucepan, melt 2 squares chocolate and 1/4 cup butter together. Add powdered sugar, milk, and 2 tsp. vanilla and beat well. You may need to add more milk or powdered sugar to reach the desired consistency: the frosting should be pourable. W
hen the cake comes out of the oven, let cool for 15 minutes, then pour the frosting over. Spread if necessary, and let the cake cool. 16 servings
I would suggest buying a cake mix, then you just have to add a few ingrediates. I think making two round ones would make the nicest cake for New Years. Just bake the round cakes as directed on the box. Put on a cooling rack to cool. You might need to slice a little bit off of the top of the cake that you are planning on putting on the bottom so it will stack better. Put some icing on the top of the bottom cake and then stack the second cake on top. Then ice all the way around.
To make festive icing you can buy vanilla whipped icing in the store, and add some food coloring to make what ever color you would like. You can also buy decorations to put on the top and they now make icing in packages so that you can write on the top.
And if all else fails, order one from your favorite store. Take home and out of the box and put on your favorite plate :)
1 cup white sugar
