Directions
- Thought you might be interested in these two recipes for a birthday cake. Michael, one of my roommates, just had his big 5-0. He said he wanted a mocha cake so I hauled out a couple of fifty year old cookbooks and combine this cake. (Well, they were almost 50 years oldone was put out in '46, the other in '50.) The cakethe first I'd ever made from scratchturned out great. It was nice and moist, if a tad on the heavy side. The recipe is actually for cupcakes, but I just made one big layer. The frosting is outstanding, a definite keeper.
- Sift flour, cocoa, soda, baking pwdr and salt together 3 times.
- Cream shortening with sugar till fluffy. Combine whole egg and egg yolks, beat well and add in to creamed mix. Combine coffee and buttermilk. Add in sifted dry ingredients and liquids alternately in small amounts, beating well after each addition. Pour into greased cupcake pans and bake in moderate oven (350F) for 20 min.
- Makes 18 medium or possibly 12 large cupcakes.
- Frost with Fluffy White Icing. Heat 1 oz (square) chocolate with 1 tsp. butter and put a band around each cake with tsp. or possibly pastry brush.
- MOCHA ICING:Sift sugar. Cream butter. Add in sugar. Beat till smooth. Add in remaining ingredients. Beat till well blended.
