Old Fashioned Chocolate Cake....

    • My best friend, Ainy minta I tolong buatkan chocolate cake for somebody yang celebrate birthday last Friday. Last minute order but still managed to bake this chocolate cake. I buat sikit kelainan dengan meletakkan filling blueberry di antara layer chocolate cake ini dan barulah disalut dengan chocolate frosting....recipe ada kat bawa ni ya....:-))

    • Ingredients

      • 1 cup butter
      • 1 cup water
      • 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
    • 1/2 cup buttermilk
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 2 eggs, beaten
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup buttermilk
  • 4 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 pinch salt

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan. In a saucepan, melt 1 cup of butter. Stir in 1 cup water and 4 tablespoons cocoa powder. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, dissolve the baking soda in 1/2 cup of buttermilk. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. Mix in the cooled cocoa mixture.
  3. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the cocoa buttermilk mixture. Stir until blended. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Ice the cake with Buttermilk Pecan Icing while it's still warm.
  4. For the icing: In a large saucepan, melt 1/2 cup butter with 4 tablespoons cocoa. Stir in 1/3 cup buttermilk, and heat until almost boiling. Stir in confectioners' sugar, vanilla, salt and pecans. Remove from heat. Mix well and pour over warm cake.
