This month is my birthday!
My mother always made this special cake for our birthdays and other celebrations.
She baked it in a large cookie sheet with a 1-inch side. It’s like a big brownie with icing.
Mom used white refined flour and white sugar for this recipe,
but it’s just as great using the healthier versions of organic flour, butter, and sugar.
I am showing this recipe non-gluten-free,
but in the “variations” I tell you how to make it gluten-free.
Cake Ingredients
2 c. organic flour
2 c. whole, organic, unrefined sugar (you can also use date sugar)
2 sticks butter
4 T. cocoa
1 c. pure water
1⁄2 c. buttermilk
2 eggs
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Sift together flour and sugar in a bowl.
3. Separately mix in a saucepan butter, cocoa, and water.
Bring to a rapid boil, and then pour over flour and sugar.
Stir well.
4. Add buttermilk, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla, and mix well.
5. Pour cake into a well-greased 11×16 baking sheet or pan that is at least a half-inch deep.
6. Bake 20 minutes.
Variation: For a gluten-free cake, use gluten-free flour and
add 1/4 cup of tapioca flour in addition to that, to help the flour bind better.
Icing Ingredients
1 stick butter
4 T. cocoa
6 T. milk
1 box organic powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 c. pecans, chopped
Directions:
1. While cake is baking, melt together and bring to a boil butter, cocoa, and milk.
2. Remove quickly from the heat.
3. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and pecans. Beat together well.
4. Spread icing on cake as soon as it comes out of the oven and is still hot.
Serving size: 10–12 servings
