Extreme Chocolate Cake

By using cocoa as the flour, you will have a very delicate cake with extreme

CHAPTER 9

Other Cakes

This chapter contains
quite the assortment of cakes! If I had to choose my favorite, it would be the Marble Cake. It has a great balance of chocolate and vanilla flavor. My second favorite is the Red Velvet Cake—either version. Whether store-bought or made from a recipe in Chapter 10, a little icing would be delicious on these cakes!

I suggest that you do not freeze either version of the Carrot Cake. Freezing distorts the color of the carrots. Instead, enjoy them on the day you make them.
