Delicious Lenten Chocolate Cake Recipe
Ruth Ann Bjelopetrovich has a talent for baking beautiful, tasty cakes. She uses the classic Lenten chocolate cake recipe submitted by +Loretta Popyk from page 23 of the Serbian Sisters Cook Book. The frosting recipe is a blend she has created. Once you've tasted it, you'll find it hard to believe it's Lenten!
CHOCOLATE CAKE
3 cups flour, 2 cups sugar, 2 tsp. soda, 1 tsp. salt, 1/3 cup cocoa, 2 cups water,
1 tsp. vanilla, 2 Tbsp. vinegar, 3/4 cup oil
Combine oil, sugar, water, vinegar, and vanilla until well mixed. Sift together flour, soda, salt, and cocoa; add dry ingredients to liquid mixture, mixing after each addition. Bake at 350 degrees until it tests done. +Loretta Popyk
FROSTING
Amounts are approximate: 1 to 2 sticks Fleischmann's corn oil margarine, 1/3 cup Crisco, 1 tsp. vanilla, 1/3 cup cocoa powder, 1 1/2 to 2 cups confectioner's sugar. Add water or liquid non-dairy creamer in small amounts to get the right consistency. For a 9X13 cake, cut recipe in half. For white frosting, omit cocoa powder and sprinkle coconut on the cake. She uses a pastry bag and tops with nuts, cherries, or coconut.
Thanks to Ruth Ann for sharing this delicious recipe.
