Daffers, an interesting moniker. Welcome to DC. I gave a recipe to one of our new members, and so I give you one as well, and it's absolutely delicious. Hope you like to bake.
This sounds like a weird cake, but I assure you, it's one of the best chocolate cakes you will ever eat.
Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake
Ingredients:
3 cups all purpose flour
1 ½ cup sugar
2 ¼ tsp. Baking powder
2 ¼ tsp. Baking soda
6 tbs. Cocoa powder
1 ½ cup water
1 ½ cup mayonnaise
3 tsp. Vanilla
Mix all dry ingredients together and stir with a wire whisk. Add the remaining ingredients and beat with mixer on high for two minutes. Pour into lightly greased and floured bundt pan and bake at 350’ F. for about 45 minutes. Cake is done when knife inserted comes out clean.
German Chocolate Frosting
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
3 egg yolks
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 cup evaporated milk
½ cup unsalted butter
1 1/3 cup coconut
1 cup chopped pecans
Combine sugar, egg yolks, vanilla, milk, and butter in saucepan. Cook over medium heat until gently boiling. Stir frequently to avoid burning or sticking. Cook for about 20 minutes. Thoroughly stir in the coconut and pecans. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Spread over cake.
Another great frosting is not homemade at all. Take one can of your favorite store-bought chocolate frosting. Add an equal amount of Nutella and mix together. Use it to frost your cake. It'a an incredible combination of flavors that perfectly compliments this cake.
