How To make Sourdough Chocolate Cake
1/2 c Sourdough starter
1 1/2 c All purpose flour
2 c Sugar
3/4 c Powdered cocoa (not instant)
2 ts Baking powder
2 ts Baking soda
1 c Milk
1/2 c Vegetable oil
3/4 c Cold coffee
1 ts Vanilla
Few people bake cakes from scratch anymore unless they can produce something that's not possible with a mix. This sourdough chocolate cake falls in that category. It's got a fudge-like quality you can't get any way except with sourdough and since it's all mixed in one bowl, it's almost as easy as a boxed cake. Put the starter in a large bowl, cover loosely and allow to stand at room temperature until active and bubbling -- at least one hour. Then add the rest of the ingredients, in the order given, beating well after each addition. It is not necessary to sift or premix any of the ingredients as long as you are careful to get the baking powder and soda evenly mixed. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans, pour in the batter, which will be thin, and bake in a preheated 350?. oven for about 30 minutes, or until the layers test done when poked with a toothpick. The cake will have pulled away from the sides of the pan. Allow to cool about 10 minutes before removing from pans, then finish cooling the layers on wire racks. Do not frost until the cake is completely cold. A mild chocolate butter cream frosting is nice with this cake. From: Pitzer, Sara _Baking with Sourdough_ Garden Way Publishing, 1980.

Sourdough Chocolate Cake! Delicious!
Thanks for coming to the Sassy Spoon Kitchen!
Sourdough Chocolate Cake is so moist and delicious! And these days everyone is making sourdough, so if you are not, I am sure someone you know is. Just ask around. If not send me an email at devanylynne@gmail.com and I will send you a recipe on how to make your own starter!
Here is the recipe:
Ingredients:
1 Cup sourdough starter
1 cup whole milk
2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup natural cocoa powder (not dutched)
2 tsp espresso powder
2 large eggs
Method:
In a large bowl, combine the starter, milk and flour.Cover and let rest for 2-3 hours, it might bubble and expand a little.
heat oven to 350 and lightly grease a 9 x 13 pan or two 9 pans. If doing two 9 pans, dust with flour and place parchment circles in the bottom.
In a stand mixer, beat together the sugar, oil, vanilla, salt, baking soda, cocoa powder, and espresso powder. The mixture might be grainy.
Slowly add the starter mixture to the chocolate mixture, stirring till smooth. It will take a while to smooth out.
Once smooth, pout it into the cake pan/pans.
Bake the cake for 30-40 minutes, until it springs back when touched and until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a rack.
Frosting:
Ingredients:
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate melted and cooled
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 stick butter, room temp
pinch of fine sea salt
1 TBS cream
1/2 tsp vanilla exctract
Method:
Place all ingredients in a food processor and process till smooth and fluffy. If you do not have a processor, use a hand mixer. Spread on your cake.
Enjoy!
