Sweet Somethings...

Who doesn't love chocolate? Now that a sweet holiday is approaching we thought we'd post a sweet recipe. Of course, chocolate is to be enjoyed any time and any place as far as we're concerned. So this is a pretty easy chocolate cake featuring our European Cocoa powder. Enjoy!

 

Recipe: Dark Chocolate Bundt Cake
2 cups white sugar
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened European Cocoa Powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease bundt pan. In a large bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla, mix for 2 minutes on medium speed of mixer. Stir in the boiling water last. Batter will be thin. Pour evenly into the prepared pans.
Bake 40 minutes minutes in the preheated oven, until the cake tests done with a toothpick. Cool and remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar or frost it! Adapted from All Recipes.com

An all American favorite - perfect for summer bbq's or family get togethers. We made these this past July 4th, and we'll definitely have them again Labor day weekend since the family will be coming over :).  See our super simple recipe below, much better than boxed version since you know what ingredients were used.

 

Ingredients:1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup flour, 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder = 1 tin of our European Cocoa Powder, 1/4 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt. 

Mix dry ingredients in bowl. Then mix 2 eggs,1 tsp vanilla, 1/2 cup vegetable oil. Add dry mix to wet ingredients and mix well. Bake in 8x8 pan at 350° for 20-25 minutes. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and your favorite berries.
