Chocolate Cake.

[rootofnewt]

From the Silly Yaks archive. Original poster doesn't know provenance of recipe. Easier to keep it here in my memories:

I use finely ground brown rice flour.

Moist Chocolate Cake

4 eggs
1 2/3 cups sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups rice flour
1/2 cup tapioca starch
1 1/3 cups lukewarm water
1 cup of mayonnaise
2/3 cup cocoa (unsweetened)
1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. baking powder

-Beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy.
-sift flours with baking soda, baking podwer and cocoa, then add to egg
mixture.
-Add water and mayo and blend well. The batter will be VERY thin.
-Pour into 2 greased round layer pans or 1 9 x 13 rect. pan.
-Bake at 350 degrees: 30 - 35 min. for two layers, or 40 min. for 9 x 13
pan.
-Toothpick test in center for doneness. Cool in pan(s) for 10 min. before
removing.
-Cool completely on wire racks before frosting.

Where do you pick up the brown rice flour? I went looking around and wasn't able to find any.

WF, IY, Rebecca's.

Generally found in the bulk section. One can also grind at home, if one has a grinder. I need a flour mill.

I must be blind...probably walked right past it each time I was in those stores.

Also, KitchenAid does indeed make a grain mill attachment for the stand mixer.

[krasota.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm well aware of the Kitchenaid Mill. Want.

I'd just be happy with the KitchenAid mixer :-D

[crazypumpkin.livejournal.com]

ditto.
hell, i'd be happy to have a big enough kitchen to even be able to consider putting a kitchen aid in it.

[wanderyng1.livejournal.com]

I *wasn't* aware of the attachment...I still want it too :)

You wouldn't happen to have a good tried and true yellow/white cake recipe, would you?
I'm thinking for my next book club meeting I want cake and frosting. I love me some yellow cake with chocolate frosting.

Both Delphi and SillyYaks have recipes in their files. I don't do yellow/white cake, so I don't have one.

[crazypumpkin.livejournal.com]

I always prefer recipes people can say they've tried and liked.
Plus I'm realizing I don't have cake pans, and won't be buying any anytime soon. Baking paraphranalia (or however the hell its spelled) is low on the priority list right now.

Those fora indicate which recipes are TnT in their archives. Most of the ones on SillyYaks are TnT.

When I want a lemony "cake", I make Torta di Noce, from the SFGate article earlier this year. I think I have it marked in my memories. If not, you can ask me or google to find it. ;)

I have a Namaste spice cake mix to try. Their mixes are awesome, so I have high hopes for it.

wow, mayo. any substitutes? I am trying to watch my cholesterol intake... :)

Find an eggless "mayo". Unless you're eating cake every day, though, one cake won't hurt you.
