Help........................!!...

My daughter, who is getting married next September, has asked me to make and decorate her wedding cake in chocolate. Are there any wedding cake sites I could visit for inspiration and receipes.


I have made traditional wedding cakes before but I'm worried about doing a chocolate one.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

LUCI JOHNSON NUGENT'S CHOCOLATE


WEDDING CAKE





1 stick butter


2 c. sugar


2 c. regular flour, sifted


2 eggs


1 tbsp. vanilla


1/2 c. buttermilk


3 sq. unsweetened chocolate


1 c. hot water


1 tsp. soda





Melt chocolate in double boiler first. Cream butter and sugar, add eggs. Sift flour and add alternately with milk. Then add 1/2 cup hot water to melted chocolate. Put other 1/2 cup water in a pan and bring to a boil (THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT). To this add soda and immediately add this to chocolate mixture. Pour chocolate mixture into the batter, add vanilla. Bake in greased loaf pan at 325 degrees. Cake will pull away from sides of pan when done.


Not necessary to frost the cake. Best by the third day, grows more moist with age. Wrap in foil and keep it indefinitely in refrigerator.
Reply:Whenever I've been in a bind for ideas or supplies I have reverted to McCall's. They actually made one of the wedding cakes for Prince Charles when he married Diana.





Good Baking!!
