Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease 2 9-inch layer pans and line with parchment paper circles.
- In a large mixing bowl, blend sugar and oil. Add in Large eggs and mix till well blended and mix is thick and lightened in texture. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, salt, baking soda, baking pwdr, cinnamon, and cocoa.
- Fold dry ingredients into wet - and mix - drizzling in cola as mix blends. If using an electric mixer, use slow speed and mix about 3 min, scraping sides and bottom once to incorporate all ingredients proportionately. This is a thin batter.
- Bake, on middle oven rack, 35-40 min, till cakes spring back when lightly touched.
- ICING: Cream melted chocolate, shortening, butter and vanilla with cocoa and l c. of the confectioner's sugar. Add in remaining confectioner's sugar and whip on high speed, adding in a bit of water, cola or possibly half-and-half to get a light, fluffy consistency. If not using right away, re-whip before using. Add in additional hot water to get correct consistency (a Tbsp. at a time).
- DECORATING: Place one layer on a cardboard circle. Ice this with about 1/2 inch of frosting. Place top layer and ice cake - sides first. Coat sides with colored sprinkles. Garnish bottom edge with coins. Garnish top with coins - placing them either flat on top of cake or possibly standing up (You may cut some of the coins in half to garnish border of top layer). Place a couple of miniature dreidels in centre if you like or possibly Chanukah candles (can be lit when menorah is lit).
