CUPID'S CHOCOLATE CAKE

I found this recipe in the Taste of Home Magazine, it is by Shelain Duncan. I made this for my husband birthday when we were first married. I think he was trying to pull a fast one on me. I found out later that his mom always refused to make Chocolate cake with white icing. I have attempted this feat twice in our 7 years of marriage - you think I would have learned! Anyways, despite MY cakes end appearance, it tasted wonderful!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the taste of your cake. Look for chocolate that is at least 70% cacao content, and use fresh butter and eggs.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the cake tough. Mix the batter until just combined, then stop.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The temperature of the oven will affect the texture of the cake. For a moist cake, bake it at a lower temperature for a longer period of time.
  • Don't overbake the cake: Overbaking will make the cake dry. Check the cake for doneness a few minutes before the end of the baking time.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

Cupid's chocolate cake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to please everyone. By following these tips, you can make a Cupid's chocolate cake that is both beautiful and delicious.
