German Chocolate Cake

Everybody always told me they loved the German chocolate cake.

I always thought they meant a Chocolate Torte. Then they would tell me about it and I was confused. (That was when I was fairly new in the USA.)

One day in the baking aisle, I saw the green chocolate bar and it said it was German Chocolate. I researched the chocolate and the creator of it was called Samuel German. Now it made sense.

I loved the cake part because it's just so good. I just find frostings that would go well with it. The mascarpone frosting I saw on Sally's Blog I think it was. It sounded good so I went with it.

Ingredients:
1 pkg 4 0z Bakers German Sweet Chocolate
¾ butter
1½ cups of sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups of flour divided
1 tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
1 cup buttermilk

Instructions:
Heat oven to 350°F.

Microwave chocolate and butter in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 min. or until butter is melted. Stir until chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is well blended.

Add sugar; beat with mixer until blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Blend in vanilla.

Combine 1/2 cup flour, baking soda and salt. Add to chocolate mixture; mix well. Add remaining flour alternately with buttermilk, mixing well after each addition.

Spoon into 24 paper-lined muffin cups, or 2 9” pans lined with parchment paper

Bake 25 to 30 min. or until a toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 min. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.

FROSTING:
600ml of heavy cream beaten stiff.
add
2 8 oz containers of Mascarpone cheese( room temp)
on low speed until just blended with
1 cup + powdered sugar
And 1 tsp clear vanilla.

Decorate to your liking.
