Wow!
My hair never takes it easy,after the mandatory 100 strokes of a hairbrush,it still will not settle.
BTW,I was trying to give my son a dirty look ,he was just not complying with my re4quest for a nice picture.
He was more interested in leaving...lets go,lets go,lets go...
I know that a chocolate fudge cake does not require any costumes,no make up,no nothing to dress it up!It has the perfect soul,pure as gold.....er Chocolate.
But this one time,I was in no mood to make a chocolate genoise.
So I picked this...
From the Australian Family Series,Family Circle Favourite Cake Recipes.This book was printed somewhere in the 1980's,so there is a lot of margarine...which I DO not use.Use either oil or butter.
The cake had to be drenched in brandy.
As if we need As excuse.
Chocolate is fun,but alcohol is funner!
Before you can drench the cake in alcohol,you need to bake the cake...
so lets go!
for the
Chocolate Fudge Cake...
you need
125 gms butter /oil
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
2/3 cups cocoa powder
1/2 cup hot water
2 tspn vinegar
1 3/4 cups plain flour
1 tsp baking soda(bicarbonate of soda)
1 tsp baking powder
pinch salt
The cake,all shiny and cracked...better to soak the brandy with??
The cup of milk to which the vinegar must be added.You don't need to stir,it all happens on its own.
The eggs and sugar,well whisked with the vanilla...
To which the oil and cocoa mix must be added and whisked well to incorporate.
Now a third of the flour and the milk which must be alternated.
In all its glory,you need to let it cool for 10 minutes then only over turn.
Now dress it up,click on this link for further instructions.
