GRANDMA'S CHOCOLATE CAKE



Grandma's Chocolate Cake image

This recipe is from my Grandma, who go it from her mother. I don't know the history before that. Everyone just loves this cake, and when I asked Grandma about it, she said she didn't think it was anything special, just made with ingredients they were likely to have on the farm. Note: to make sour milk, add 1T vinegar or lemon juice to sweet milk. I make this as a very tall 9 x 13, 3 small layers or a whole bunch of cupcakes.

Tips for Baking Grandma's Chocolate Marvel Cake

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your cake. Look for unsweetened chocolate that is at least 70% cacao, and use real butter and eggs.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, which will make your cake light and airy.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can toughen the cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the correct temperature. The cake should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
