What kind of hostess refuses to share a recipe?

An acquaintance told me recently as visiting friends, he has served a special cocktail that she found delicious. When she requested the recipe, the hostess refused to give him. What kind of hostess refuses such a thing?? Is it vanity misplaced? A sort of twisted competitiveness? The outright meanness?

Dear readers of my blog, on the eve of Valentine's Day, I decided to share with you my favorite recipe. The My Best Chocolate Cake for life. Sublissime a cake, which pulls the "brownies" but more mellow. With a hint of mocha, just enough to meet the taste of chocolate. For lip-smacking! This is the recipe I'm asked to do in family celebrations. The kind of cake which I always promise myself (in petto) to return the leftovers with me ... but he never stays for leftovers!

To show you how much I am not stingy with my culinary secrets, I have even translated this recipe from the U.S. for you!
Enjoy with your love, your love, your love children, love your parents and all the rest of the clan ...


Mocha Fudge Cake

For 10 or 12 people (depending on the greed of your guests)
- 1 ¼ cup butter or margarine
- ¾ cup cocoa
-
4 eggs - ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup flour
- chocolate curls for garnish (as indicated the photo, my curls of chocolate are rather ... uncurled)

Preheat oven to 350. Grease bottom of two round pans nine inches in diameter. Line bottoms of pans with waxed paper. Grease the waxed paper.

In a small saucepan, melt butter. Add cocoa and mix well. In a large bowl, beat eggs with electric mixer until frothy. Add salt and vanilla. Gradually add sugar, beating well. Add chocolate mixture, mixing well. Pour batter into two greased pans. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Do not overcook. Cool in pan five minutes then cool on rack.

Frosting:
- 1 ½ cup whipped cream (cold)
- 1 / 3 cup brown sugar
- ½ to 1 teaspoon of coffee

Combine all ingredients and whip cream to stiff peaks. Makes about 3 cups. Frost cake with this cream, not forgetting to apply liberally between layers. Decorate with chocolate curls. Refrigerate before serving.
