A Cake

Occasionally I want to bake something, even if it is just for me. This morning I made a cake from an old Southern Living Cakes book. It turned out as I hoped, not delicious but decent, not making me want to overeat. Some of it is going in the freezer, sliced and wrapped in individual pieces to have with coffee. Here is the almost exact recipe, altered a tad for 2021.

Brownstone Cake
2 sticks butter, 1 1/2 C sugar, 1 oz bitter chocolate melted in 2 T water, 3 eggs, 3 C flour, 1 t soda, 1 C buttermilk, vanilla.

Mixed in the traditional way. Bake at 325. Glaze or ice if desired.
