Chocolate Chambord Cake




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




8 oz Semi-Sweet Chocolate
1cp. water (give or take)
2 1/4 cp. flour
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cp. sugar
3/4 cp. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
1/8 to 1/4 cp. Chambord



Recipe



Preheat oven to 375F
Lightly spray two 9" cake pans (do not flour). Mix flour, salt, & baking soda and set aside
Mix sugar, butter, & vanilla until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well each time
Add Chambord to batter and mix well. Melt chocolate with about 1/8 to 1/4 cp. water until smooth
Add chocolate to batter and mix well. Gradually add the flour mixture to the batter, alternating with the remaining
water until all flour is used. Batter should still be thick, but not dough like!! Split the batter between the two pans and bake 30-35 minutes until toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool a good deal, then take them out of the pans and split each down the edge so that you have "4 round cakes".

Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting

2 tbs. butter
4 oz cream cheese
1 1/2 oz unsweetened baking chocolate (OR 3 tbs. coca & 1 tbs. vegetable oil)
1 1/2 cp. sifted confectionery sugar
1/4 cp. heavy cream
1/2 tsp. vanilla
dash of salt
mix all ingredients well

Chocolate Truffle Filling

2 box instant chocolate pudding mix (3.9 oz)
3/4 cp. heavy cream
4 oz semi-sweet chocolate
generous dash of Chambord
Melt chocolate and Chambord together (smooth)
Mix the cream and 1 box of pudding together.
Add the other box of pudding SLOWLY until very thick (may only need 1/4 of second box)
Chill

Putting it all together. With the bottom layer of the cake on it's "final resting place" slather 1/3 of
the Chocolate Truffle Filling on it. Add another layer of cake and slather another 1/3 of Chocolate Truffle Filling
Repeat one more time. Add top layer. Add Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting over the outside of cake (If this frosting was refrigerated, you will need to let it warm up a little and probably whip it soft before it will spread well.)
Try and clear out enough refrigerator space to put this beast in!
Serve VERY thin slices with lots of milk and enjoy!
