Chocolate Bar Cake

Ultra dense and intense chocolate flavor.

Last night some friends and I celebrated our friends Callie and Kiki's birthday. This time I really had to make a cake (I wasn't just trying to find some reason to occupy my time.)
Both Kiki and Callie love chocolate so I thought I would make a family recipe of chocolate bar cake. It is dense, rich chocolate that requires no icing, and is simply delicious.


Recipe:
Ingredients: Directions:
2 sticks butter
2 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 cup buttermilk/sourmilk
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 oz milk chocolate bars
1 small can/ 5 1/2 oz chocolate syrup


Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 F and generously grease a 10" tube pan.

This was a mega-sized chocolate bar.

In a double broiler, pour in the chocolate syrup and break up the milk chocolate bars. Melt the chocolate bars into the syrup, using a spoon to stir to make sure the chocolates mix well together.
In a large bowl cream together the butter and sugar and then add each egg one at a time. Mix the baking soda and buttermilk and alternate adding this buttermilk mixture and the sifted flour until both are mixed into the batter. Finally, blend in the chocolate mixture and vanilla completely.
Pour the batter into your already greased pan and place in the oven for 1 hour 15-20 minutes.

The perfect cake for anyone who loves chocolate. It can be easily decorated if you so chose, and its round shape makes it easy for slicing.
