It&#39;s an old family favorite, I&#39;m pretty sure we had it written on an old 3x5 index card and nobody remembers the origins of the recipe, but it&#39;s good enough I thought it deserved to be better known.<br/><br/>It&#39;s not really high in cocoa content at all, though I did use bittersweet instead of German chocolate for mine due to availability. The main feature is that you start with a double batch of chocolate cream cheese buttercream frosting, then use half of that as the base for your batter. I&#39;ve only got two cake pans, which worked fine but basically doubled the bake time.<br/><br/><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-TuKaKmq1w7oDTzBZpZcXAC2KdcUF2BT">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-TuKaKmq1w7oDTzBZpZcXAC2KdcUF2BT</a> 2025-01-12T22:35:52Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgxfy2md45yw49ftyyjkjqet4852snakvk35whwchrfn56naekr4czyp0xqprq3e8mvrt2tsltg9daslxkkcaf28ukdvgynpvu0lcr0z5r77whvjm So Friday, my car decided to suddenly lose power on the highway. Got it towed to the dealership, who thought it was due to low oil, even though I&#39;d added oil 5 days prior. Picked it up Saturday morning, and as soon as I got it onto the highway and up to speed, it did the exact same thing. So again I got it towed back to the dealership. Yesterday they finally determined that the interior of the engine was torn to shit and recommended replacing the dead 114k mile engine with a 110k mile engine to the tune of $7800. <br/><br/>And then one of my chickens died overnight (not unexpected).<br/><br/>At the very least, I managed to find a whole entire car for about $1000 less than that 110k mile engine, so I&#39;ll be finalizing that purchase tomorrow morning, hopefully.<br/> <img src="https://cdn2.miau.pub/media_attachments/files/113/671/316/755/907/661/original/71f1cf4591bc78c4.jpg"> <br/> 2024-12-18T01:57:04Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8tgj0unkdaclrk6na6qhfmz8xyn9639xm5u5elejzq20nt57vj0czyp0xqprq3e8mvrt2tsltg9daslxkkcaf28ukdvgynpvu0lcr0z5r7egvzrh In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqst6e9s92az9cuwy0rm798uuu3k3lcpfqjwhtdycmpqddu03ruw2tss5mqa7'>nevent1q…mqa7</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Giving her a proper send-off, as usual.
