Custom Chocolate Cake Part 1

So I have been up and at it very early this morning. and Well I designed a yummy chocolate cake recipe I am  having a hard time not eating the batter....

Chocolate Cake Recipe #1

Items Needed:
2 cups Semi sweet or Dark Chocolate Chips Or one baking bar
3/4 cup water (boiling)
4 Egg yokes
4 Egg Whites
1 tsp Vanilla
1 tsp Vanilla (yes you need it twice for two different parts of the recipe)
1 cup Milk (buttermilk or Soy unflavored work best but you can use whole milk too..just needs to be fatty)
2 1/4 cup sifted flour
2 Cups Sugar
1/2 cup butter (1 cube softened)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp Baking Soda

Preheat oven at 350

In a medium mixing bowl place your Chocolate and pour in your boiling water. Mix until smooth and all chocolate is melted. Set this aside. I personally have a KitchenAid and LOVE IT...SO I use it for the rest of the recipe. In your mixing bowl place Butter, Sugar, Vanilla and Egg Yokes. Mix until light and fluffy. It will fall apart easy in your fingers. Add Chocolate. Mix for 1 minutes. Sift your flour and add in the Salt and Soda. Now slowly add this mixture to your Chocolate mix. Once it is all mixed it will be thick and yummy. Scoop your mix into a Bowl and Wash you mixer. Be sure to rinse with cold water last. Place your cold bowl back on the mixer and Add Vanilla and Egg Whites. Whip until you have tips. While this is whipping mix in by hand your 1 cup of milk. Mix slowly with a wooden spoon until smooth. Your eggs should be done. Fold the eggs into the batter. Do not mix. Place in your cake pans.

I used Cupcakes pans with liners. But this recipe will make enough for 2 large rounds, 3 small rounds, or a large sheet cake. Or two small sheets for a two layer cake.

The cupcakes will cook about 15 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Because you have used Egg white these cakes can collapse if not careful. On the Cupcakes you are more likely to have a few collapse but it is not a big deal. I got 2 1/2 dozen from the above recipe.

MY SECRET.... shh don't tell....Never bake your cake within 6 hours of frosting. If you do. Place in the Freezer so it is nice and cold....I should have baked this last night but Knowing I needed the time I got up at 5:30am to make it and now at 7am The Cupcakes are out and cooling.

Part 2 post later today will be Fondant and Frosting.....YUM!!!!
