Not Necessarily One Bowl Chocolate Cake

In answer to various comments re the cake the other night, in case you're interested...

This recipe I got originally from eatingwell.com.

The "Not Necessarily" is mine. I have never understood why it was called "One Bowl..." :)

One Bowl Chocolate Cake

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Ingredients:

• Group 1

• 3/4 c. + 2 T. whole wheat flour

• 1/2 c. sugar

• 1/3 c. cocoa

• 1 t. baking powder

• 1 t. baking soda

• 1/4 t. salt

• Group 2

• 2 T. canola oil

• 1 t. vanilla

• 1/2 c. buttermilk or reg. milk (NOTE: I always use soy milk and it is fine; might be interesting to see how it is with the buttermilk…)

• 1 large egg, lightly beaten

• 1/2 c. hard-packed brown sugar

• 1/2 c. hot strong black coffee or boiling water (I always use coffee)

Grease 9-in round cake pan (other pan similar in size is fine). Cut parchment paper or waxed paper to fit in the bottom of the pan.

• Mix Group 1 til just blended.

• Mix Group 2 likewise (without the coffee/water) and add to Group 1. 

• Beat 2 min.

• Add coffee/water and beat to blend. Batter will be RIDICULOUSLY thin! Don't worry!

• Pour into pan and bake 30-35 minutes or until clean toothpick test.

• Cool on rack 10 minutes then remove from pan and cool rest of the way.

• Dust with confectioner's sugar or use toppings of your choice.

Yum!!
