Chocolate: Funny Cake

Recipe Introduction


"It’s a funny quirky recipe that doesn’t really come together until the end. You just have to try it for yourself."


List of Ingredients




Funny Cake

For the syrup:

1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1 teaspoon vanilla


For the cake batter:

1 cup flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

3/4 cup sugar

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 large egg, beaten

1/2 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 teaspoons grated orange zest


1 prebaked 9-inch pie shell



Recipe



Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Make the syrup: Bring the milk to a boil in a saucepan. Combine sugar and cocoa in a bowl; add hot milk. Stir gently with a wire whisk until the ingredients are well mixed. Add vanilla, mix well and set aside.

Make the batter: Mix flour and baking powder together. In another bowl, mix sugar and butter with an electric mixer until pale yellow and light. Add egg and mix well. Add milk and vanilla and mix until smooth. Add the flour mixture and the orange zest.

Pour syrup mixture into baked pie shell, then spread the cake batter over the syrup (do not mix the two). Place cake on a baking sheet and bake in the center of the oven about 45 minutes, or until cake springs back lightly when touched in the middle. Cool thoroughly, then serve.
