Montana Dessert Recipes

MONTANA MOUNTAIN CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Grease three 8" layer cake pans; dust lightly with bread crumbs.
• Sift dry ingredients together.
• Cream butter and sugar; add vanilla.
• Beat in eggs, one at a time, until well blended.
• Beat in chocolate.
• Add water alternatively with dry ingredients.
• Divide batter into cake pans, spread to level, then push batter up the sides a little bit leaving a slight concavity in the center.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until cake just begins to pull away from the sides of the pan.
• Cool 5 minutes in the pan, then invert and cool completely on cooling racks.
• If necessary for even frosting, cut the tops level.
• Frost layers, staking them, and sides with your favorite frosting (I like coffee flavored Seafoam Frosting).
• With your spatula, quickly pull frosting up in peaks all over the cake.

• Bake at least one day before serving so that it hardens up.

• Freeze.
• Beat egg whites adding vanilla and sugar until stiff peaks form.
• Seal ice cream with meringue.
• Broil until light brown.
• Watch it closely.
• Freeze.
• Melt cholocate chips with 1 to 2 teaspoons water and pour over top.
