Chocolate Filling for Cake
1/2 cup sugar
2 tbsp cocoa
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 cup boiling water
Cook until thick, add a small piece of butter and vanilla. "Joyce: This recipe is good for chocolate sauce. For filling I find you need more cornstarch (2 tbsp.)."
Chocolate is my favorite and having a Chocolate filling makes it even better!!! Do you bake the cake in two 8 or 9" greased and floured pans and for how long. Can't wait to try this recipe!! Gail
ReplyDeleteHi Gail, I checked with my MIL and she suggested baking it in either an 8 or 9" cake pan at 350 deg. f until done. You may have to stick a fork in the centre to see if it is finished baking. I'm sorry I can't give much more details on this one as I haven't tried it yet myself. :)
