How to Make

  • Step 1: Chocolate Syrup: Place ingredients in a saucepan over medium-high heat until reach a syrupy consistency. Pour into chilled bowl and place in fridge to cool quickly.

  • Step 2: Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a tube pan with removable bottom.

  • Step 3: Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each.

  • Step 4: Whisk dry ingredients (except baking soda) and measure milk. Add dry ingredients and milk alternately to mixer.

  • Step 5: Pour 2/3 batter into pan, smoothing top. Mix baking soda into chocolate syrup and add to remaining batter, then pour over cake, smoothing top.

  • Step 6: Bake 45 minutes, then place aluminum foil over pan and bake an additional 20-25 minutes or until done.

  • Step 7: We usually serve this cake without frosting, but for birthdays we add chocolate frosting.
