I have a recipe for a "classic chocolate cake"from a parenting birthday fun magazine( very old issue). The first time I made this recipe many years ago it came out great. I made a a year later for a birthday and it was a disaster. I made it maybe 3 times again and it did not work. The only problem I can see is the "butter". Cause the recipe does not indicate if it is 'salted' or 'unsalted' butter. Does anyone know what butter to use? I need quick answers, need to make a birthday cake on Monday! Thanks
It contains:
4 squares unsweetened chocolate 6 egg yolks separated 2 1/2 cups milk 3 cups cake flour 2 tsp. baking powder 2 tsp..baking soda 2 sticks butter 2 cups sugar 6 egg whites 2 tsp.vanilla extract
