ORGANIC DEEP DARK CHOCOLATE CAKE - A Winning Cake Recipe!

Organic Deep Dark Chocolate Cake Recipe http://ift.tt/1Qzc42a

There’s nothing like a deep, dark chocolate cake, and the best way to get it is to start with the right chocolate. Many cakes call for cocoa powder, but using bittersweet chocolateas well as cocoa powder makes for an extra-decadent confection. I like using Organic Dark Chocolate medallions: their small size makes them easy to work with, and they taste fantastic. I buy my supplies from Santa Barbara Chocolate Co. Sometimes it’s hard not to sneak too many into my mouth instead of the mixing bowl!

3/4 cup butter 1 cup powdered sugar 1/3 cup brown sugar 3 egg yolks 2 egg whites 1 tbsp. vanilla extract 2 1/4 cups flour 1 1/2 cups plain yogurt 3/4 cup milk 1/2 pound Organic Dark Chocolate 2 tbsp. Red Cocoa Powder

Beat in eggs, including extra yolk, one at a time, followed by vanilla. Mix flour and baking soda in a separate bowl, then take turns mixing small amounts of the flour mixture, sour cream, and milk until all ingredients are mixed into the main bowl. Place Organic Dark Chocolate and Rainforest Red Cocoa Powder into food processer and run for 10 seconds or until finely chopped. Mix into batter. Pour evenly into cake pans.
