Father's Day D.A.D. Cake

[Guest guest]

No one deserves this rich and delicious cake more.

Spelling out D-A-D is a quick trick.

 

Note: Organic ingredients are recommended...

 

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup butter

1 cup sugar

2 large brown eggs

1 cup milk (reduced fat or no fat if desired)

2 oz. unsweetened chocolate squares, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

 

METHODS:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease one 8-inch circular cake pan

and one 8-inch square cake pan. Cream together the butter and sugar

in a large mixing bowl, then beat in the eggs one at a time.

Add the milk, melted chocolate, and vanilla, and mix well. In a separate

bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the

dry ingredients to the butter mixture and stir until just combined. Pour

the batter into the prepared cake pans and bake for 25 to 35 minutes.

When the cakes have thoroughly cooled, remove from the pans. Cut

the round cake in half to form two Ds. Starting at the top midpoint of

the square cake, cut an A by making two diagonal slices (thus forming

a triangle).

Spell the pieces out on a large platter, tray, or cookie sheet covered

with tinfoil and frost with a favorite chocolate icing. Use brightly colored

decorator's icing or cake decorations to outline D, A, and D.
