Prague frosting and lickety split cake

Prague frosting with Lickety Split Easy moist chocolate cake

The cake reminds me alot the Lickety Split recipe in my Hersheys cookbook

Its so easy and quick if you dont have eggs. but you will need yolks for the  frosting 

It so fluffy and light!!

I came across Natashas recipe while looking through cupcake recipes 

natashaskitchen.com prague-frosting

The cake 

preheat oven to 350 brew esspresso!

add cupcake liners to your cupcake pan or grease a cake pan like I made.

sift together 1 and 1/2 cups of flour

1/3 cup cocoa powder I  used hersheys

1tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup sugar

 in separate bowl:

1 cup brewed esspresso I used starbucks

1/3 cup canola oil

1 tablspoon of vinegar

 stir then poured into sifted dry ingredients whisk together it starts to bubble.

scoop with 1/3 c measure into cupcake liners or greeased pan. bake 18 minutes its very moist looks wet but a steak knife poke in leaves an imprint and doesnt come off dooughy thats how I knew it was done let cool\\

Than make the wonderful frosting mmmmm

in a saucepan add 

3 egg yolks

1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk Ill use the rest to make carmel

 1/4 cup water

stir with a whisk over low heat constantly whisking slowly increase heat a little until steaming not boiling

remove from heat and add

2 oz of semi sweet chocolate chips or a 1/3 cup

 stir to melt you can put in a separate bowl to cool in the fridge or to room temp

I whipped 2 cubes softened butter room temp or 1 cup

 then blend in cooled yolk chocolate mixture

This is where the magic happens!! whip for 3 minutes!! it fluffs up so nice

yum!!
