MRS. CLANCY'S CHOCOLATE CAKE



Mrs. Clancy's Chocolate Cake image

The ingredients for this cake are simply stirred together in a bowl, it's the easiest chocolate cake you will ever make, and close to the best you've ever tasted too! This recipe was given to me by a bloke I worked with some 30 years ago. He used to regularly share his mothers chocolate cake with his mates at work. He would only give me the recipe if I promised him that I would always call it "Mrs. Clancy's Chocolate Cake" after his mum. Here it is...

MRS. SCOTT'S CHOCOLATE VINEGAR CAKE



Mrs. Scott's Chocolate Vinegar Cake image

A wonderful, easy, moist, eggless chocolate cake recipe that my mother acquired from a dear friend of hers. The vinegar reacts with the soda, so there is no vinegary taste leftover as long as you use the right amounts of vinegar and baking soda. Fabulous with a rich, fudgy frosting, such as a chocolate sour cream frosting. Time doesn't include cooling time, so be sure to allow a couple-few hours to cool before frosting. Note: I usually bake this in a Pyrex tempered glass pan, and then I frost and serve it right in the pan. If you are planning to remove it from the pan before frosting and/or serving it, it may work better to lightly grease the pan and dust it with cocoa before you pour the batter in (thanks, I'mPat!).

TOO MUCH CHOCOLATE CAKE



Too Much Chocolate Cake image

I am posting this for safekeeping as it is our family's favorite cake recipe. It is very similar to a few others here on Zaar but IMO it's the best! :) The mini chips don't sink to the bottom, but regular chips will do just as well. I prefer to bake this as cupcakes as opposed to a bundt cake. Fantastic with vanilla buttercream frosting or just a dusting of powdered sugar. Edited to add: Thanks, Yooper and Ronnie for remiding me where I found this! I used to copy recipes from online onto index cards for my recipe box (before I found Zaar). So much for my "safekeeping" theory. lol
