Quick After-Battle Triple Chocolate Cake
Ingredients:
1/2 cups/1 stick Butter or margarine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup white sugar 2 large eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla 2 tablespoons blackstrap molasses 2/3 cup chocolate milk 1/3 cup cocoa 1 cup flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 cup / 6oz. Semi-sweet chocolate chips Powdered sugar
1. Preheat oven to 350ยบ. 2. Grease and flour 13" x 9" pan. 3. In a large bowl, cream butter or margarine until fluffy. Add brown sugar and white sugar and mix thoroughly. Add eggs, vanilla, and blackstrap molasses, beating well after each addition. 4. In a separate container, stir flour, cocoa, salt, and baking soda together. Beat into butter mixture, alternating with the chocolate milk. Beat for 1-2 minutes, then fold in chocolate chips. 5. Pour batter into greased and floured 13" x 9" pan. Bake 35-40 minutes. Cake should be sort of flat and solid, not light and puffy. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Let cool before cutting or the pieces will fall apart and the gooey chocolate chips will get all over everything.
As a side note, I've made this cake many times, I have experimented with several kinds of topping, and I have determined simple powdered sugar to be the best for it. This is, of course, a matter of opinion, but I thought I'd let you know what others think of it.
