Baking One: Culinary Chronicles Capers Canards

The Chocolate Fudge Dream When you hear homemade chocolate fudge sauce what do you think? I think of creamy, warm, rich chocolate melting in my mouth. What else could make this more perfect? How about homemade whipped cream with a light fluffy sponge cake? A few years my grandma and I were baking in the kitchen trying to figure out what to make for desert and we pulled out an old recipe that my grandma’s mother had made. After adding a little bit more sugar and a few other ingredients, it became a great success. It’s now known as in our family as the traditional birthday cake and it just tastes so sweet and yummy. First you make the sponge cake and after you cook it, cut the cake in half and let it cool. Then it’s time to make the whipped cream. Add confectionery sugar, vanilla extract and heavy and blend it in a kitchen aid blender until it’s whipped. Spread a thin layer of it on between the two half’s of the cake and then put the top half back on top. Then start to make the chocolate. Mix cocoa, flour, white sugar, milk and butter and cook on the stove until melted. After it’s done and ready to serve, pour the chocolate over the cake and it’s ready to eat! -Sydney A.
