Alaskan Sourdough Chocolate Cake
Ingredients:
- 1 cup thick sourdough starter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3 (1 oz) squares semisweet chocolate
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
Preparation:
Prepare a cup of thick sourdough starter the night before. Let sit in a warm spot overnight.
Cream sugar and shortening until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Stir in sourdough starter, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon and melted chocolate. Beat with rotary beater 2 minutes. Blend salt and baking soda together until smooth. Sprinkle over batter and fold in gently. Fold in flour until batter is smooth. Pour into 2 (8- or 9-inch) greased and floured pans. Bake at 350° F for 25 minutes. When done, cake will spring back when pressed lightly with fingers and will shrink slightly from sides of pan.
Cool and frost with your favorite frosting.
