for 23 years, we have made the same chocolate indulgence cake, mostly cupcakes, and people have loved them. we can hardly keep up. now we put candied violets or sunflowers on the cupcakes as an added touch. and lately, we have made mini cupcakes selling for 75 cents. however, last week i was invited to my friend flo’s for dinner. dessert was better than our chocolate cake and that’s saying something. it was a chocolat cake from a recipe flo got from cooks.com. what a delicious cake. here is the recipe for picnic perfect chocolate cake.
2 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. baking soda
3/4 c. cocoa
2 c. sugar
1 c. oil ( i would use 3/4 c. as i think this is a little much)
1 c. hot coffee
1 c. milk
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
mix dry ingredients together. add oil, coffee and milk. mix batter, add eggs and vanilla. beat for 3 minutes. pour into greased and floured bundt pan. bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes. flo frosted with a cream cheese and real butter icing. again, have to say this cake gives ours a run for its money!
