Servings: 10

 

Ingredients:

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 1/4 cups cake flour

1 tablespoon corn syrup

2/3 cup cornstarch

3 eggs

1 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup sugar

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes

1 1/2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup vegetable shortening

2 cups of water

Equipment:

oven

baking paper

sauce pan

whisk

bowl

plastic wrap

Cooking instruction summary:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Butter and flour 2 (9-inch) cake pans. Cut 2 circles of parchment paper or waxed paper to fit the bottoms of the pans, then press them in.
  3. In a mixer, cream the butter and shortening together. Add the sugar and mix until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one by one, mixing after each addition.
  5. Add the vanilla, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and mix.
  6. Then add, alternating, about 1/3 of the cake flour, then about 1/3 of the milk until finished.
  7. Pour into the prepared pans and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean,
  8. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks and let cool completely, to room temperature.
  9. Using a long serrated knife, cut the cake layers in half horizontally. Reserving 3 halves for the cake, put the remaining half in a food processor, breaking it up with your hands. Pulse into fine crumbs.
  10. Filling: Pour 2 1/2 cups of the water, the sugar, corn syrup and cocoa powder into a large non-reactive saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking occasionally.
  11. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the remaining 1/2 cup of water and the cornstarch.
  12. Whisk into the cocoa mixture in the saucepan and return the mixture to a boil, whisking constantly until very thick, 3 to 4 minutes.
  13. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla.
  14. Pour into a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, lightly pressing the plastic against the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Chill until firm, about 45 minutes.
  15. To finish the cake, place a cake layer on a cake plate or serving platter (reserving the most even layer for the top) and spread with cooled custard. Top with another layer of cake, then custard, then the final layer of cake. Cover the top and sides of the cake with the remaining custard. Coat the cake with the cake crumbs. Chill until ready to serve, at least 2 hours.

Food Joke

A Change In Plans Source: "Today's Woman" magazine, Barbara A Tyler. Martha Stewart will not be dining with us this Thanksgiving. I'm telling you in advance, so don't act surprised. Since Ms. Stewart won't be coming, I've made a few small changes: Our sidewalk will not be lined with homemade, paper bag luminaries. After a trial run, it was decided that no matter how cleverly done, rows of flaming lunch sacks do not have the desired welcoming effect. The dining table will not be covered with expensive linens, fancy China or crystal goblets. If possible, we will use dishes that match and everyone will get a fork. Since this IS Thanksgiving, we will refrain from using the plastic Peter Rabbit plate and the Santa napkins from last Christmas. Our centerpiece will not be the tower of fresh fruit and flowers that I promised. Instead we will be displaying a hedgehog-like decoration hand-crafted from the finest construction paper. The artist assures me it is a turkey. We will be dining fashionably late. The children will entertain you while you wait. I'm sure they will be happy to share every choice comment I have made regarding Thanksgiving, pilgrims and the turkey hotline. Please remember that most of these comments were made at 5:00 AM upon discovering that the turkey was still hard enough to cut diamonds. As accompaniment to the children's recital, I will play a recording of tribal drumming. If the children should mention that I don't own a recording of tribal drumming, or that tribal drumming sounds suspiciously like a frozen turkey in a clothes dryer, ignore them. They are lying. We toyed with the idea of ringing a dainty silver bell to announce the start of our feast. In the end, we chose to keep our traditional method. We've also decided against a formal seating arrangement. When the smoke alarm sounds, please gather around the table and sit where you like. In the spirit of harmony, we will ask the children to sit at a separate table. In a separate room. Next door. Now I know you have all seen pictures of one person carving a turkey in front of a crowd of appreciative onlookers. This will not be happening at our dinner. For safety reasons, the turkey will be carved in a private ceremony. I stress "private" meaning: Do not, under any circumstances, enter the kitchen to laugh at me. Do not send small, unsuspecting children to check on my progress. I have an electric knife. The turkey is unarmed. It stands to reason that I will eventually win. When I do, we will eat. Before I forget, there is one last change. Instead of offering a choice between 12 different scrumptious desserts, we will be serving the traditional pumpkin pie, garnished with whipped cream and small fingerprints. You will still have a choice: take it or leave it. Martha Stewart will not be dining with us this Thanksgiving. She probably won't come next year either. I am thankful.
