Double Layer Chocolate Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
3/4th cup softened butter (Just leave it out of the fridge for about half an hour)
1 1/4th cup Splenda for Baking
3 Large Eggs
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
1 ½ cups 2% milk
1/4th cup water/coffee
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4th cup cocoa powder
Electric Blender
Take out two eight inch pans and grease and coat in flour (Grease simply means to use a little snippet of butter or cooking spray on the inside of the pan to coat. It’s up to the baker what method they choose). Heat your oven to 375 F. Get out your blender and a bowl and beat the butter until it is really, really soft and creamy. Once you have done this, add the Splenda slowly until it is completely blended in and do the same with the eggs, one at a time. Make sure to blend completely after each egg and then do the same with the vanilla. Put your dry ingredients in a medium size bowl, separate from what is mixed, and quickly stir up. Mix the water/coffee with the milk. Add half of the flour mix and blend well. Then, add the milk and blend well and finally mix in the last of the flour mixture. Once you are done, bake the cake in the two separate pans for 35-40 minutes. Make sure to test for doneness. Frost how you would like.
This cake is sure to be a hit. It’s not necessarily something you would eat for dessert or for a party, but is great with coffee and can definitely be eaten at Halloween or Christmas. It’s also perfect for bake sales and potlucks. You can make this cake from scratch or you can utilize a cake mix in order to shorten the preparation time.
