Categories     Cakes

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup thick sourdough starter
1 cup water
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup nonfat dry milk

Steps:

  • 1. Mix and let ferment 2 to 3 hours in a warm place until bubbly and there is a clear sour milk odor. Add: 1 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 2 eggs 3 (1 ounce) squares chocolate, melted
  • 2. Cream, sugar, oil, salt, flavorings and baking soda. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine creamed mixture and melted chocolate with sourdough mixture. Stir 300 strokes or mix at low speed until blended. Pour into 2 layer pans or 1 large cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes. Cool and frost with your favorite icing.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chocolate: The chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your cake, so it's important to choose a high-quality chocolate. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Use fresh sourdough starter: Fresh sourdough starter will give your cake a better flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh sourdough starter, you can make your own or purchase it from a local bakery.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your cake tough and dense. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until it is done: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If it comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake longer.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

This sourdough chocolate cake is a delicious and decadent treat that is perfect for any occasion. The sourdough starter gives the cake a unique flavor and texture that is sure to please everyone. If you're looking for a new chocolate cake recipe to try, this is the one for you.
