Our good friend, Anna Reeves, shared this recipe with us. It is such a rich and delicious cake. This would be a favorite at her kid's birthday parties. She usually had it decorated with strawberry slices. Yummy!
1 c. all-purpose flour
2/3 c. whole wheat flour
1 1/2 c. sugar
2/3 c. cocoa
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 c. buttermilk
1/2 c. butter
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add all ingredients (except chips) and mix on low (1-2 minutes). Scrape bowl. Beat 3 minutes on high, scraping bowl. Pour into 2-8" or 9" pans (sprayed with oil and cut parchment paper and sprayed again). Bake until toothpick comes out clean (~25-35 minutes).
Family Recipe Collection
What's This About?
Food is such a wonderful thing! Not only does it sustain us, but it enriches our lives. How many times have you tasted a dish and it takes you back to another time and place-- one filled with cherished memories? How many times have you tried to recreate those memorable dishes to find that you can't remember all the ingredients or how they are suppose to intermingle?
This is a food project for my family. My intention is to shorten the distance between us all and share in making memories together. I want us all to add tried and true recipes from past and present generations. Please feel free to add any stories or thoughts to these recipes, too.
When this project is near completion, I hope to have a marvelous collection of recipes that bring us closer together as a family. We'll have an heirloom cookbook of recipes and stories we can pass onto future generations.
