I am always experimenting with baking and because I cannot stand following recipes,
I often dont get a good result. Although sometimes it is outstanding!
Yesterday, I made a decadent chocolate cake that I need to try and remember-so
here it goes:
3 cups flour
1 cup oil
1 package sunspire grain sweetened chocolate chips
1 jar wax orchard's fudge sauce
3 eggs
some milk add to create cake batter consistency
1 tsp baking powder
Stir well and bake at 350 until done
I didnt add icing, but, the wax orchards is a great icing by itself or mixed in with
cream cheese.

I am assuming there is sugar in the chocolate chips? Sounds yummy though, for me in like 2 years!
Did you use Agave?
I love baking too, for the rest of the family of course. Does anyone know how to get hold of Wax Orchard products in the UK? Or is there a similar product here?
just wondering what type of flour? thanks!
What size pan did you use? 9x13? 8 in round...bread pan?
Thanks!
In case anyone was wondering...I made this using two 8 inch round pans. I wouldn't suggest using 9 inch pans because the cake would come out too thin. I would also suggest mixing the ingredients, and then adding the wax orchards last, as it caused the batter to become very stiff and difficult to mix. The amount of milk I ended up adding was probably close to 1/2 cup, if not more. I think I started my timer at 20-22 minutes, and possibly added another minute or so, but I can't remember, and in any event, every oven is different. The cake comes out very dense, almost like a torte, but it is so rich, and quite delicious.
For frosting, I used the recipe below. After the cake was frosted, I put a ring of fresh raspberries on the top, and around the bottom. This cake was so rich and so unbelievably good that people had a hard time believing there was absolutely no sugar or agave or honey, etc.
Raspberry Cream Cheese Frosting
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup cream cheese
1 jar Rigoni di Asiago raspberry jam (the only ingredients are raspberries, apple juice, apple pectin, citric acid, and it is 100% organic)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (the recipe calls for 1 tablespoon, but that seemed like too much to me)
1. whip the cream until stiff
2. in a separate bowl, whip cream cheese until smooth, and then blend in raspberry jam and vanilla
3. with a rubber spatula, gently blend whipped cream into cream cheese mixture
Not at all! They are GRAIN sweetened. Meaning, the used the starches from grains.
