Cake using three types of chocolate. (Made famous by the Mexico City Lion's Club.)
Cake:
1 2/3 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
2/3 cup cocoa
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cup buttermilk ( or sour milk: add 2 tsp lemon juice or white vinegar to regular milk)
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
2 TB Kahlua
2 eggs
Frosting:
chocolate syrup
Chocolate Frosting
marachino cherry
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Grease and flour two 8" or 9" pans, or a 13"x9" rectangle.
3. Beat all ingredients on low speed, scraping bowl constantly, 30 seconds. Beat on high speed 3 minutes. Pour into pan(s) and bake 30-35 minutes.
4. When cool, spread cake layers with chocolate syrup. Frost with Chocolate Frosting, so that it is fluffy, not smooth.
5. Drizzle more syrup over the top of the cake in a criss-cross pattern, being careful not to get too close to the edge. Using a star tip and reserved whipped cream, pipe stars around the edge of the cake and in the center. Top the center star with a marachino cherry.
