YUMMINESS ABOUNDS
I had to find a quick and easy dessert to make for last night's book club. My standard brownies had already been taken by another book club member, and so I had to fall back and punt.
I stumbled upon this website a few years back http://foodiefarmgirl.blogspot.com/, and just fell in love with every recipe she put on there. Everything she puts up is amazingly simple, looks yummy, and seems so hearty and ... well, good. I knew she'd have something I could make for book club.
Sure enough! EMERGENCY CHOCOLATE CAKE (foodiefarmgirl.blogspot.com/2005/08/chocolate-cake-emergency.html)
1/2 cup (1 stick/4ounces) butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup yogurt or sour cream (or a combination)
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9" x 5" loaf pan. Cream butter and sugar until smooth, 1-2 minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time. Beat in vanilla. Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture, alternating with yogurt. Beat until just smooth. Turn batter into prepared pan and bake 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean.
Do not over bake. Cool in pan. Cake may settle in the middle as it cools -- this is normal.
It rocks! Soooo moist .... soooo good .... sooooooo easy! Farm Girl ROCKS!!!!!
