Recipe Introduction
Very similar to Texas Cake or chocolate sheet cake, but with less fat and not quite as sweet. These are very good.
List of Ingredients
1/2 c butter or margarine
1 1/4 c sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
3 oz unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
1 c milk
1 1/2 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 c chopped walnuts, opt.
Frosting:
2 tbsp butter
2 oz unsweetened chocolate
1/4 c milk *
3 c sifted powdered sugar
Recipe
Preheat to 350.
Grease a 15 x 10 x 1 inch pan.
Beat butter for 30 seconds with electric mixer.
Add sugar and beat until fluffy.
Add eggs, vanilla, and melted chocolate; beat well.
Combine flour, baking powder and salt.
Add dry ingredients to butter mixture alternately with milk, mixing well after each addition - be sure to begin and end with dry ingredients.
Stir in walnuts, if desired.
Pour batter into pan.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes.
Cook on a wire rack.
Frost before serving.
Makes 36 bars.
Frosting:
Combine butter, unsweetened chocolate and milk.
Heat until chocolate melts.
Add sifted powdered sugar and stir until well mixed.
Thin with extra milk if needed to spread.
NOTES:
I used real butter, large eggs, and omitted the walnuts.
I baked for 18 minutes.
I heated the frosting ingredients in the microwave, stirring frequently. I had to add more milk to get it to spreading consistency.
