List of Ingredients
1 cup of shortening
1 1/2 cups of sugar
3 eggs
2 ounces of unsweetened baking chocolate, melted
2 cups of cake flour
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
1 cup of heavy cream
2 teaspoons of vanilla extractRecipe
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Butter a tube pan and sprinkle with about 2
tablespoons of dry
bread crumbs, until it is well-coated. This makes a much better crust than
flour does.
In a large bowl, add the sugar to the shortening and cream well. Blend in
the eggs, one at a time,
and beat well. Stir in the melted chocolate.
Sift together the dry ingredients. Combine the cream and vanilla extract.
Add to the chocolate
mixture alternately with the dry ingredients, beginning and ending with the
dry ingredients. Pour the
batter into the pan and bake for 50-60 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan a
few minutes before
removing.
