Kids having friends for sleepovers calls for chocolate...and so I decided it was the perfect night to make Farmgirl Fares Emergency Chocolate Cake..... It's in the oven now with about 15 minutes to go! The batter is INCREDIBLE even before it goes in the oven......I don't normally like cake batter but this is HEAVENLY OMG!!!! After making dinner for 8 kids and Lloyd, I'm not in the mood for dinner myself...but I AM in the mood for chocolate cake :) And this cake doesn't even need frosting!
Emergency Chocolate Cake
1/2 cup (1 stick/4 ounces) butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup yogurt or sour cream (or a combination)
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9"x5" loaf pan. Cream butter and sugar until smooth, 1-2 minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time. Beat in vanilla. Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture, alternating with yogurt. Beat just until smooth. Turn batter into prepared pan and bake 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean. Do not overbake. Cool in pan. Cake may settle in the middle as it cools--this is normal.
