Now, I don't even like cake, especially yellow cake. This one breaks all the rules. It is incredible! Thanks to dear Mary and dear Connie for sharing the recipe. The only thing I changed was using blackberries instead of chestnuts on the top and (blush...) using cream instead of milk in the frosting.
2 c sugar
4 eggs
1 c vegetable oil
1 c dry white wine
2 1/2 c flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
Preheat the oven to 35o an grease and four two 9 inch round cake pans. Beat the sugar and eggs until light (about a minute.) Add the remaining ingredients and mix another minute. Bake about 3o minutes or until knife comes out clean. Cool and frost with this delightful frosting:
1 1/2 c chocolate chips
1/2 c unsalted butter
2/3 c of milk or cream
1 tsp vanilla
1 c powdered sugar
Fresh blackberries
Melt butter and chips in microwave, 30 seconds at a time, stirring until melted. Stir in cream and vanilla and then gradually add the sugar and beat until the mixture is smooth with electric mixer - it will be runny. Refrigerate for an hour , beating the frosting every 15 minutes. Frost cake and top with fresh blackberries.
