BI, I won't comment on this, lol!!:o :D
And for YOUR information, they turned out to be good after all! They were just hot when we first tried them that's why they didn't taste so good! Besides it was my first try!!:rolleyes:
But people, what I'm really good at is my all time favourite chocolate cake that I've been baking for the last, ummm lets see, 5 years!! And BI, everyone loves it!:)
I did post the recipe some time ago in one of 4 eva's threads, I can post it again if you want, and it's a must try, coz it has a real special taste!;)
DD, it could be the same one, but I'll have a look in my book, it's got all kinds of chocolate cakes!

B.I: I would have no clue.

Dr N: well it hold that specific name. Not just a choco cake. And when you eat it, you feel its killing you that at some point its going to finish :eek:

The Perfect Chocolate Cake!


Serving: Serves: 6
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes

For the Cake:
1 1/2 cups unbleached white flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup cold water or brewed coffee
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons vinegar

For the Glaze:
1/2 pound bittersweet chocolate
3/4 cup hot water, milk or half-and-half
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt, and sugar into an ungreased 8-inch square or 9-inch round baking pan.

3. In a 2-cup measuring cup, measure and mix together the oil, water or coffee, and the vanilla. Pour the liquid ingredients into the baking pan and mix the ****** with a fork or small whisk. When ****** is smooth, add the vinegar and stir quickly. There will be pale swirls in the ****** where the baking soda and the vinegar are reacting. Stir just until the vinegar is evenly distributed throughout the ******.

4. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Set the cake aside to cool, and if you choose to make the glaze, reset the oven to 300 degrees F.

For the Glaze:
5. Melt the chocolate in a small ovenproof bowl or heavy skillet in the oven for about 15 minutes. Remove and stir the hot liquid and the vanilla into the chocolate until smooth.

6. Spoon the glaze over the cooled cake. Refrigerate the glazed cake for at least 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with chocolate curls, if desired.
