So, I have successfully mastered the perfect chocolate cake recipe! I was at Michael's last week JUST to buy some cake boards for Megan's wedding cake when I stumbled upon the AISLE O' CUPCAKES. The whole stinkin' aisle was filled with cupcake wrappers and boxes to match and and and and:) LOVELY. I was silently squealing. So, I knew JUST what Maria NEEDED when she asked me to make some cupcakes for some friends' birthdays coming up. Oh, yeah. Scrum a num. My three taste testers (Big D, Barone, and Beetles) approved of the flava', so I am set:) Here is the recipe (drum roll please. Oh, and don't panic about the mayo...just DO IT)
Cream 1 3\4 cup sugar with 12 tablespoons (1 1\2 cubes) butter (softened)
Add 1\3 cup of mayo to this. Beat for 2 minutes
Add 4 large eggs (one at a time) ROOM TEMP
Add 2 tsp vanilla
In a separate bowl, combine:
2 cups of ALL PURPOSE flour
3\4 cups cocoa
1 1\2 tsp baking soda
1\2 tsp salt
1 pkg of chocolate pudding mix:)
Add this dry mixture to the first mixture a little at a time...alternating with some milk (total of 1 1\2 cups ROOM TEMP).
This recipe is one that I have gathered over the years and from many different places:) I love how moist and rich it is. If you like dainty, light, fluffy...don't come knockin on my door:) ENJOY! This makes 2 8" rounds or 36 cupcakes. I bake the cakes on 325 and cupcakes on 350
