leave room for chocolate cake



Hopefully I won't go straight to h*ll for sharing this, y'all.

2 1/2 cups cake flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup butter
2 1/2 cups brown sugar
3 eggs + 1 egg yolk
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup milk
6 T cocoa

blend brown sugar and butter together
blend eggs & vanilla in
blend powders together in separate bowl

alternate powders and milk
blend until creamy
makes 3 9" circle pans (greased well & coated with flour)
bake 350 for 30 to 35 minutes, check at 15 minutes

Frosting (you're making a layer cake, kittens..)

1 lb powdered sugar (around 4 cups..)
1 stick butter
enough dutched cocoa to plaster a wall

Beat the stick of butter
Add the sugar
Add the cocoa until you can't take it anymore - should be
spreadable... Add a little milk if it's too thick. Just a little!
and a teeny, tiny bit of salt, about 1/8 tsp. Make sure it's
not too runny..

Let the cakes cool, set the first one down on your favorite plate, and
schmear away...
