EBONY CHOCOLATE CAKE W/ JEANNIE'S FROSTING ~ BETTER THAN THE BEST!
This is my own recipe. I love baking with Ghiradellis chocolate. I did a make over of my favorite chocolate cake recipe. This cake is fabulous. Family and friends love it! The frosting I call Jeannie's, because I got the recipe from Jeannie a girl I worked with back in 1978. The original cake recipe was her aunts and this is the frosting she used on the cake. I had not made it in years, because it called for an egg white. I now use meringue powder instead. I even like the results better that the fresh egg white too! You can also use your favorite frosting or I love Yummy Vanilla Buttercream by Sherry Symmonds. You can find it right here on Just A Pinch.
