AMAZING SOLAN FAMILY CHOCOLATE CAKE (AKA 3-HOLE CAKE)



Amazing Solan Family Chocolate Cake (Aka 3-Hole Cake) image

This is a Swedish cake recipe; I got it from a dear friend who made it at several parties during college and always got rave reviews. Now I'm the one who gets all the credit when I make it : ) My family loves it; I play the "guess-the-secret-ingredient" game (the vinegar) and no one ever has... though they've guessed everything from peanut butter to cheese! I love it because it's relatively "healthy" (no dairy, no eggs, low-fat), while it's still amazingly moist and chocolaty and dense. (You can make it even lower fat if you use only 1/4 C oil and sub. 1/2 C applesauce).

Tips:

  • Grease and flour the pan: Before adding the batter, grease and flour the pan thoroughly. This will help to prevent the cake from sticking.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your cake the best flavor and texture. If possible, use organic ingredients.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature and for the correct amount of time: The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The baking time may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on the cake while it's baking.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
