Chocolate Syrup Cake

By srumbel

It is a very rich, moist, cake…just the way I love cake to be! It also has a cooked, ganache-type icing that is irresistable!

Ingredients

• Cake:
• 1 16 oz can Hershey’s chocolate syrup
• 1/2 cup butter softened
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Icing:
• 1/2 cup evaporated milk
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 6 oz. semi sweet chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

For the Cake: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla, beat with mixer until well combined. Add the flour, baking powder and salt and mix until just combined. Pour in the chocolate syrup and mix thoroughly. Pour into a 9 x 13 baking pan that has been coated with cooking spray.

Bake at 350 degrees F. for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. As soon as the cake comes out of the oven begin preparing the frosting.

Icing: Place the butter, sugar and evaporated milk in a medium size saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once the mixture reaches a full rolling boil, (One that cannot be stirred down) cook it for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and add the chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate chips are melted.

Immediately pour the hot icing over the warm cake, spreading to cover the cake evenly. Allow cake to cool to room temperature before serving. Enjoy!
