is is my y nephew’s grandmother’s
: -(Edna Stave) recipe. It has
: -been in their mily for r years. As you see; it has
: -been updated by the use of
: -a microwave. e oven t temperature is correct. It
: -is a very dense cake.
Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Use a 10″ spring form pan. Grease pan,
sprinkle with flour. Leave quite a bit of flour in the pan.
In the microwave: melt
1/2 lb. butter 8 squares unsweetened (bitter) chocolate 2 cups hot
tap water Whisk to mix well.
Cake Ingredients
4 cups sifted flour 3 teaspoons baking soda 4 cups sugar 1 cup sour cream 4
beaten eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla 4 teaspoons very strong coffee healthy
pinch chili powder
Blend eggs and sugar. Add coffee and sour cream. Blend. Add vanilla. Add
the dry ingredients.
Reheat the chocolate mix and add to above ingredients. It must be pretty
hot when added.
Pour into pan. Put pan on a baking sheet as it may overflow. Cook at 275
for two (2) hours. Anything that spills is your treat to eat.
You can cut this recipe in half and bake in a 10 x 14 pan. If you use this
method, bake at 350 for 35 minutes.
Frosting NOTE: ***Triple this recipe for the cake in the spring form pan.
1/2 cup sugar 1 heaping tablespoon flour Whisk to mix.
Add: 1 tablespoon butter 1 teaspoon vanilla pinch chili powder 1 teaspoon
strong coffee 2 squares bitter chocolate 1 cup milk
Put all ingredients in bowl and microwave for 6 minutes or more. Remove and
whisk. Return to microwave for 4 minutes. Remove and whisk again. Repeat
until the mixture resembles chocolate pudding. Pour on cake while hot.
I would imagine you could cook this frosting on the stove top or in a
double boiler. We are used to “nuking” it.
