Ridiculously Chocolate Chocolate Cake
When I was in high school, Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Frosting was my favorite. Red Velvet Cake is the current winner when I am looking to satisfy my sweet tooth.
This extra chocolatety cake with chocolate frosting prepared by one of Dave Ramsey’s staff members looks extremely scrumptious.
I plan to give it a try – maybe for Valentine’s Day. The double chocolate cake would be the perfect ending to a memorable dinner with your sweetheart…or sweathearts in my case since it will probably be a family dinner.
Of course I will substitute the shortening in the recipe for butter.
Here ya go.
Cake Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- ½ cup shortening
- 4 eggs (at room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 squares (1 oz. each) unsweetened chocolate
