Our Favorite Birthday Cake

My daughter Madelaine is the best baker in the household and she is in charge of doing all the custom birthday cakes. This cake is her specialty, we all gather around to pick crumbs from the pans. Incredibly decadent, rich and, best of all, made from scratch.

Method:

Mix 1/2 cup margarine and 4 Tbsp. cocoa over low heat in small sauce pan, until smooth. Cool.

In a large bowl, add:

1 cup raw sugar
3/4 cup unbleached flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt

In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients:

1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla

Make well in dry ingredients, pour wet ingredients into well. Mix as little as possible. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes in greased and floured 9”x9” pan. Loosen edges with knife. Cool before removing from pan. Frost with Taboo Fondue. Create rainbows of colors for cake decorating by making the fondue recipe with white chocolate wafers and tinting it with paste food coloring. Colored wafers are also available.
