I am a die hard Joy of Cooking Cook. But a few years ago I lost my copy of Joy in a move. I also found that separating the eggs and whipping the whites made little difference in the overall texture or height of the cake. I have since used parchment paper and greased it instead of butter and flour in the pan. But to save calories, and because I am not a fan of frosting, I no longer frost the cake. When the kids were little, they preferred whipped cream frosting to buttercream after trying that one year. But the cake, and Joy's Brownies are the best. I can no longer tolerate brown sugar (molasses?) for some reason so I use white, and add a tsp of expresso powder to augment the chocolate flavor. As for the chocolate? I use the full ride!! and I use baker's unsweetened. Thanks for having this recipe posted and for your comments about the eggs.

I JUST did a eerily similar post on my blog last Sunday. (Today it was posted on fredflare.com as a guest blog.) <br /><br />Mine also has closeups of the ingredients, paddle attachments, and my cakes (which stuck to the pans hardcore!).

We spent months searching for the perfect pie and settled on this lady who sells mini pies at the downtown farmers' market in the summer. She makes the most amazing pies that have only six or seven ingredients. Mmmm, pie!<br /><br />(Good luck with THE CAKE this year.)Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05807371755634322930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-12502751950718903802008-08-19T14:04:00.000-07:002008-08-19T14:04:00.000-07:00This cake makes me want to forget the diet, not wo...This cake makes me want to forget the diet, not worry about the white dress fitting, and stuff my face!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18164273565121605276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-11329611595099805022008-08-18T10:17:00.000-07:002008-08-18T10:17:00.000-07:00your blog is so bad for my diet. now i want a bro...your blog is so bad for my diet. now i want a brownie sundae and i have been so good.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12274781443181176710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-17165360938633412522008-08-18T08:39:00.000-07:002008-08-18T08:39:00.000-07:00My mouth is seriously watering.
