Ingredients

  • The Ingredients:
  • Light brown sugar, 2 cups
  • All-purpose flour, 1 and 3 quarters of a measuring cup
  • Cocoa powder, 3 quarters of a cup
  • Baking powder, 1 and a half teaspoons
  • Plain or iodized table salt, 1 teaspoon
  • Medium sized eggs, 2 pieces
  • Fresh or whole cow's milk, 1 cup
  • Palm or canola vegetable oil, half a cup
  • Room temperature butter, half a stick
  • Vanilla flavor extract, 2 teaspoons
  • Now let's try some easy breezy egg-white icing. You will need the following ingredients:
  • 4 egg whites, make sure that not one iota of egg yolk is caught in the gleam.
  • 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar powder
  • 1 cup of powdered confectioner's sugar
  • 1 very dry ceramic mixing bowl
  • 1 portable hand mixer

Directions

  1. The Method:
  2. Set the oven temperature to 350°F.
  3. Prepare a 9-inch round baking pan by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray.
  4. In a mixing bowl, carefully sieve together the following: sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt, in mixing bowl.
  5. Liquefy the dry mixture by adding the eggs, one at a time.
  6. Stir well after each egg is added.
  7. Add the milk slowly, then the oil and vanilla, and mix until smooth and everything is blended thoroughly.
  8. Using a hand mixer, beat on medium speed for about 1 to 2 minutes. Do not mix or beat too much as it might cause a lot of bubbles in the batter; these tend to make your cake too airy which you don't want to happen.
  9. Once this is achieved, pour the mixture into the round cake pan.
  10. Bake for approximately 30 to 35 minutes or until the cake springs back upon being lightly pressed.
  11. Cool the chocolate cake until it becomes easy to remove from the pan.
  12. Place on a wire rack and cool completely.
  13. Method:
  14. In the dry mixing bowl, make sure that you do not incorporate water while pouring the egg whites.
  15. Add all at once the cream of tartar.
  16. Beat the egg whites at very high speed while adding the sugar, 1 teaspoonful at a time. This process should take about 5 to 7 minutes to complete. At the end of that period, you should have peaks of creamy, sweet, white icing.
  17. Proceed to spread with a knife over the cooled chocolate cake.
  18. Voila! Faith prevailed.
