I’m always looking for the perfect chocolate cake recipe. I’ve tried a
lot of different ones, but I think this simple Hershey’s
Chocolate Cake from Leite’s Culinaria
is my favorite, because it uses pantry ingredients and a hand mixer. I love a cake that can be made spur of the moment
when the mood strikes.
This cake’s got espresso powder in it, which we all know from Ina
Garten seriously enhances the flavor of chocolate. The frosting is made with
melted butter and confectioner’s sugar, and it’s a lot lighter and better than
most frostings. I haven’t tried to pipe
with it, but it’s the perfect thick, creamy consistency for rustic, homey
looking swirls.
Because I changed nothing, I’m not going to post the recipe, I’ll just send
you right over to David’s
blog. Check this out if you need an easy, delicious, classic chocolate layer
cake. This one’s perfection, and just in time for Valentine’s Day.
Just gorgeous!
