Black Forest Cake


















Ingredients:
2 cups sugar (1 1/2 cups splenda)
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder (1 1/4 cup cocoa powder)
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup sour milk [add 1 tbs vinegar to milk to make sour milk] (1 tsp. vinegar plus skim milk)
1 cup coffee [not coffee grounds]
1/2 cup oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix dry ingredients.
Add rest of the ingredients.
Mix well.
Place batter in well-greased 9 inch pans.
Bake for about 35 min.

Notes: recipe adapted from Hershey's recipe.
I increased the amount of cocoa used and decreased the amount of sugar so that cake does not taste that sweet. I would probably stick to the recommended amounts to get a sweeter taste.
