How To make Sourdough Chocolate Cake
1/2 c Sourdough starter
1 1/2 c All purpose flour
2 c Sugar
3/4 c Powdered cocoa (not instant)
2 ts Baking powder
2 ts Baking soda
1 c Milk
1/2 c Vegetable oil
3/4 c Cold coffee
1 ts Vanilla
Few people bake cakes from scratch anymore unless they can produce something that's not possible with a mix. This sourdough chocolate cake falls in that category. It's got a fudge-like quality you can't get any way except with sourdough and since it's all mixed in one bowl, it's almost as easy as a boxed cake. Put the starter in a large bowl, cover loosely and allow to stand at room temperature until active and bubbling -- at least one hour. Then add the rest of the ingredients, in the order given, beating well after each addition. It is not necessary to sift or premix any of the ingredients as long as you are careful to get the baking powder and soda evenly mixed. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans, pour in the batter, which will be thin, and bake in a preheated 350?. oven for about 30 minutes, or until the layers test done when poked with a toothpick. The cake will have pulled away from the sides of the pan. Allow to cool about 10 minutes before removing from pans, then finish cooling the layers on wire racks. Do not frost until the cake is completely cold. A mild chocolate butter cream frosting is nice with this cake. From: Pitzer, Sara _Baking with Sourdough_ Garden Way Publishing, 1980.

RECIPE:
For the cake:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/4 cups sugar
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup discard sourdough starter
1/4 sour cream
1 cup boiling water
For the frosting:
1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter
2/3 cup cocoa powder
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup milk
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees with the rack in the center. Prepare a 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well combined.
3. Add the vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla, sour cream, and sourdough starter. Stir to form a thick batter. Pour in the cup of boiling water and stir well until a smooth batter forms.
4. Pour into prepared baking pan and bake for 35-45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, or with only a few crumbs. (The top may crack.)
5. Cover cake with a clean tea towel and allow it to cool directly in the pan. Cool completely before frosting.
6. To make the frosting, combine the melted butter and cocoa in a large mixing bowl. Add the powdered sugar and milk, alternating with each other, and beat with an electric mixer until a smooth frosting forms.
Frost the cake and serve directly out of the pan.

This Chocolate cake is Spectacular!!!!!!!
1 cup (227g) milk (whole milk or 2% preferred) or evaporated milk
2 cups (241g) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1 cup sourdough starter (discard or fed)
1 1/2 cups (298g) granulated sugar
1 cup (198g) vegetable oil
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 cup (64g) natural unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch process)
1 teaspoon espresso powder, optional
2 large eggs
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Combine milk, flour, and starter. Let rest 2 - 3 hours.
While dough is resting. Stir together sugar, oil, vanilla, salt, baking soda, cocoa powder, and instant espresso. Once mixed, add eggs one at a time until incorporated.
After the 2 -3 hours combine the flour mixture with the chocolate mixture. This can take awhile. I did it by hand the first time and did not mix it enough. I had white lumps in my cake. It was still good but didn't look great. The second time I used my mixer and it worked much better.
Pour batter into a 9 x 13 greased pan. Bake 30 - 50 minutes. Sometimes my cakes take longer. Not sure if it is the humid climate or what. Make sure your cake springs in the center and when tested with a toothpick, it should come out clean.
Frosting
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 t vanilla
8 oz cream cheese softened
4 T butter softened
Combine all above frosting ingredients and pour over cooled cake.
ENJOY!!!!
