Sweet Onion Chocolate Fudge Cake




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




6 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1 cup sweet onion, finely diced
1 cup vegetable oil, divided
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk, soured with 1 tablespoon vinegar

Easy Fudge Icing (recipe below)


Recipe



Melt chocolate in saucepan, stirring over low heat, or in microwave oven. Caramelize onion by sauteing over medium low heat for 8 to 10 minutes in 2 tablespoons oil in skillet until soft. In large bowl, beat remaining oil with sugar, eggs and vanilla until thoroughly mixed and fluffy, about 2 or 3 minutes. Beat in warm melted chocolate and caramelized onions. Mix flour with baking soda and salt; stir into batter alternately with milk.

Divide batter evenly into two well-greased and floured 8-inch round layer cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 35 minutes or until a pick inserted into center comes out dry. Cool 15 minutes then invert onto wire racks to thoroughly cool. Spread on icing.

Easy Fudge Icing: Melt 8 ounces unsweetened chocolate with 1/2 cup butter in saucepan, stirring often over very low heat. Mix in 1/2 cup hot water then turn into mixing bowl. Beat in about 5 cups powdered sugar, a portion at a time. (Adjust as needed to make a good consistency.) Quickly fill and frost cake while icing is still warm. If some icing gets too cool to spread easily, place it in microwave-safe bowl and microwave shortly just until softened and lustrous. Makes about 3 1/2 cups icing.
