Ingredients
- 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
- 1/2 c. lowfat milk
- 1 c. brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 teaspoon Jamaican allspice
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 c. cake flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 c. butter
- 1 c. superfine sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 3 Tablespoons water
- 1/2 c. lowfat milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 Tbsp. dark rum
- 2 egg whites, whipped
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 2 - 9 inch layer cake pans.
- Whisk together chocolate, lowfat milk, allspice, brown sugar and one egg yolk in the top of a double boiler, stirring till a custard is formed and mix thickens. Cold. Stir in baking soda and salt. Sift the flour onto waxed paper.
- In bowl of electric mixer, whip the butter, gradually adding sugar and two egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a c., stir together 3 Tablespoons water, 1/2 c. lowfat milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 Tbsp. dark rum.
- Add in the flour mix to the butter mix alternating with the vanilla/lowfat milk/water mix. Stir in the chocolate custard mix and beat till smooth, approximately two to three min at medium speed of mixer.
- In a clean bowl, using the wire whisk attachment of your electric mixer, beat two egg whites till soft peaks form; gently fold into cake batter.
- Turn into greased layer cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees F. for about 25 min or possibly till cake tester or possibly toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Turn out onto wire racks to cold. Level with a serrated knife if required, then stack and frost with chocolate frosting.
- Note: This recipe calls for superfine sugar, not to be confused with confectioners or possibly 10X sugar. If you do not have superfine sugar you can pulse regular granulated sugar in the food processor to substitute. Domino supplies superfine sugar in 1 lb. pkgs. at the supermarket or possibly in larger quantities at the bakery supply or possibly foodservice outlet. Superfine sugar dissolves readily and works best for cakes, helping to produce a lighter texture.
