One Egg Cake recipe!

-
After repeated requests for the One Egg Cake w/Chocolate Sauce recipe, I'm finally posting it so everyone can enjoy! A little background would be in order for it.  My mom created the paring of the two.  She baked the One Egg cake from the old Betty Crocker cookbook and thought it needed a little pizazz.  Her grandma made an old-fashioned cooked chocolate pudding that she thought would go well over squares of cake.  Thus, One Egg Cake w/Chocolate Sauce was born.  The cake is served hot with the hot chocolate sauce poured over it.  The result is heaven on a plate and is the Sundheimer family all-time favorite dessert!

One Egg Cake with Chocolate Sauce

Cake:

1 1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 1/2  t. baking powder
1 t. salt
1 cup milk
1 t. vanilla extract
1 egg
2 cups flour

Mix sugar and butter.  Blend in baking powder, salt, milk, vanilla, and egg.  Stir in flour.  Bake at 350 in a greased and floured baking pan for 35-40 min. 

Chocolate Sauce:

4 T. butter
2 squares unsweetened Baker's Chocolate
4 cups milk
2 cups sugar
8 T. flour
1 t. vanilla extract
a pinch of salt

For Chocolate sauce:  Melt butter and chocolate squares in a large saucepan over medium low heat.  Add milk. Heat on low until almost boiling.  Mix sugar and flour in a separate bowl and add just enough watter to make it pourable -- make sure you  mix this smooth and get out all the lumps.  Pour sugar mixture into milk mixture when milk starts to rise in a rolling boil.  Turn to low and stir constantly until sauce thickens.  Add vanilla and salt.  Cut cake while still warm and serve with hot chocolate sauce.

ENJOY :)

Grace in the madness of mothering

-
The Bargain Hunter , where my column appears, is undergoing website changes. For now, my columns will be posted here:  There’s grace somewhere in the octaves between high-pitched and emergency, where I could hear the timbre of my voice and know that I was one step away from madness. This chaos lies in the line of crooked bangs cut with a dull hair scissors, no longer able to brush them away from the brown eyes of a child you love with such fierceness and agony. She would look at me, taunting, hugging me before she ran from me to do the things that would make my throat quiver. She would get up from her bed twenty-nine times in an evening, her Aladdin nightgown swinging as she descended from the stairs, and nothing I did would make her stay. There’s grace allowed somewhere in that madness. I remember rocking my baby in a rocker that several of our family had bought us for our wedding. The curves of it embraced us, and the nursery was warm with forced air from the furnace. I

We are Ghosts

"We are ghosts to you. We don't exist until you want our sympathy or help. You don't think your vote will really count, because you want to see what "happens." It's a vote against us and you don't see that. It's a vote against me. We are ghosts until you want us, but we were never there if you didn't see us until it counted." - quoted by someone I love, 9/24 I am lost.  Awash. Drifting in a sea of distractions. Fraught and edgy. Simple and deep. My thoughts betray me and I cannot sleep. We the people. No longer are we the people we say we are.  We are washed in the blood of Jesus and drowning in our own hypocrisy. We cry out for the blood to flow from the bodies of our brothers and sisters in lands far away - those who cry for our help - as well as turn a blind eye to the ones dying in our streets at alarming levels, shouting, "He should have listened."  We cry "Save the babies!" while we kill those in priso
