Chocoholics beware

If you are looking for a super rich cake I have a recipe for you to try, its called a Hershey Bar Cake. If you are a chocoholic just the name of this cake should perk your interest. I personally am not a huge chocolate fan so this cake is not for me but Kevin has enjoyed every bite along with his mom who was just here visiting. It wins no awards for being diet friendly, your arteries will probably clog just reading this blog post.






First using your double boiler melt 6 hershey's chocolate bars in 1 can of hershey's chocolate syrup. While the chocolate cools...



cream 2 cups of sugar with 2 sticks of butter. Next add 4 eggs one at a time and beat well. Mix in cooled chocolate. Mix 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.


Alternatively, add 1 cup of buttermilk and flour mixture. Mix in 2 teaspoons vanilla. This yummy mixture is then backed at 300 degrees for 1-1 1/4 hours in a lightly greased and floured bunt pan. I din't manage to get a picture of the full completed project so my half eaten cake will have to do.


I guess since it is nearly gone it must have been alright. I was a bad baker and neglected to make a frosting to complement my treat and I know that I would have liked it much better with something vanilla to cut some of the chocolate flavor. Happy baking.
