Chocolate Layer Cake From Rachael Ray

I was sitting in the waiting room at my doctor’s office when I eyed this magazine. Of course I would pick this particular magazine over one like Time, Sport Illustrated, or even Glamour. Why? Because it has FOOD in it. I was flipping through the pages when I came across this inviting looking chicken soup recipe that made me want to take out a spoon and start gulping it down. In the corner of my eye I suddenly spotted the next page. On it was this scrumptious looking chocolate cake. I immediately forgot about the chicken soup. I read this recipe and knew I had to go home and bake this cake right away. As I was looking for a paper to write down the recipe, I noticed that this magazine was still on the shelves of any grocery store. Guess what I did next. You got it!!!

My cake looked just as good as it does in her magazine and it’s easy to make. I know we all have made delicious chocolate cake from other recipes, but add this one to your list. The only thing I did differently was I added 1 tablespoon of espresso powder to the water in this recipe. Coffee always brings out the flavor of chocolate.

I love this particular magazine because it’s full of great recipes along with other interesting articles. I will make that chicken soup soon, but you know me, sweets first.

This recipe is from “Everyday with Rachel Ray” in the March 2010 edition. It’s on page 93.
