Title: Hot Chocolate Cake
Categories: Cakes, Desserts, Chocolate
Yield: 9 Servings

3 lg Eggs
1 1/2 c Sugar
1 ts Vanilla extract
3/4 c Hot cocoa; prepared
1 tb Butter
1 1/2 c All-purpose flour
1 1/2 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Salt

Set oven @ 325?F/163?C.

In a large bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar until
very thick; the batter should fall from the beaters in a
thick ribbon. Beat in the vanilla.

While you're beating the eggs and sugar, heat the hot
chocolate and butter in a small saucepan to just
simmering. Add the hot chocolate mixture to the egg
mixture in a slow, steady stream as you continue beating.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking
powder, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet
ingredients, stirring until they're just combined.

Pour the batter into a lightly greased 9 inch cake round.
Bake for 50 minutes, or until the cake is a deep golden
brown and starting to pull away from the sides of the pan.
Remove the cake from the oven and cool it in the pan for
10-15 minutes. Run a knife around the sides of the pan.
