- Praising God we've been home for a bit now, settling in and ready to share this fabulous recipe! Old Fashioned Chocolate Cake with Caramel Sauce and Chocolate Chips
Old Fashioned Chocolate Cake
3/4 cup
2/3 Cup butter , softened
1 2/3 cups sugar
3eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup cocoa
1 1/4 tsps baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder (or 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar and 1/4 teaspoon cornstarch)
1 1/3 cup water
Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour one 13x9 nch baking pan. Combine butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla in large bowl; beat until well blended. Stir together flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt and baking powder; add alternately with water to butter mixture, beating until blended. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for approximately 30 to 35 minutes or until knife or toothpick comes out clean.
Let cake cool completely.
Caramel Topping
2 cups pure maple syrup
1/2 cup cream OR 1/4 cup butter and 1/4 cup whole milk for cream substitute (if using butter and milk melt butter in sauce pan adding milk, warm slightly.)
Heat maple syrup in heavy sauce pan slowly bring to boil and let reach 230 degrees. Remove from heat. Keeping in mind that the syrup is very hot at this phase make sure all pets and children are clear of this next step. Depending on the temp of the cream or the milk/butter mixture it can (not always, but sometimes) cause the maple syrup to bubble and if your pan is too short it can bubble over the sides, not only making a mess but having the potential to burn so please use caution and common sense). Pour in (SLOWLY) cream or milk/butter mixture into syrup stirring while you do so and mix well. You may see the cream or butter fat appear to separate, but don't panic. As the sauce cools and as you stir it every so often, it will all blend together. This process of cooling will take a long time, several hours. You can put your pan in the refrigerator. You can also put the sauce in a larger pan at that time, like a 9x13 if you are in a rush for it to cool, just be sure to stir and let cool completely.
Once topping is cool, spread over the top of your cooled cake, garnish with choc chips or choc shavings and enjoy!
I’m so very happy your home sold and back in your beautiful home here. I missed you all looking forward to winter scenes, cooking cozy ,Faith
Thank you so much!
I absolutely love your propane stove, I use a vintage propane stove too, and love it,
We also cook and heat our little home with our wood cookstove
Your cake looks delicious, Happy Birthday Ron!
Hi Ms. Lori, so good to see you! Thank you for the comment on our stove, we absolutely love it! After cooking 365 on our wood cookstove for more years than I care to count, I tell Ron that using this propane stove is like "auto-pilot"...put whatever in, and I can totally forget about it with no worries...what technology,? Lol!
I have seen your beautiful propane stove and, actually, was considering a Heartland or Elmira gas stove such as yours because they are just gorgeous! We looked at a couple and the only thing that slowed us down was our wood cookstove is the same basic design and it kept making us pause wondering if 2 of the same style might be too much in our little cabin. So when we found the one we got, we decided to go that route just to keep things a little different.
Ron says thanks for the birthday wishes!
Stay warm sweet lady!

Thank you so much! So thankful to you and all our precious viewers who have hung in there with us while we've been back and forth! God's richest blessings to you!
🥰 so glad to see you’re back! Can’t wait to hear about all the new house, updates and how you all have been! I would love to know now that you have a propane stove, I see a new sink in the background possible refrigerator… Just wondering if the house is now plumbed for all propane with the exception of the woodstove? Will you be doing a new house tour? So thankful you’re all doing well and that is an answer to prayers that your house sold! Blessings to you and your sweet family!💗
Hi thepioneerhomestead! No, our house is not plumbed in any way with propane nor with water. We have a 20lb tank outside for the propane stove which lasts about 6 to 8 weeks since we don't use it full time. The sink is just like the wood dry sink we used for so many years, just a wash area no plumbing, but I just really liked the style of the old sink, thought it went with our propane stove which was manufactured in the 1920's and the sink is stamped with a 1909 date. It was pulled out of an old school in Detroit and we found it on marketplace. The wood dry sink was one Ron built and was never really meant to be used for that purpose for as long as it was but it was needed so we did. The problem I found with it was as much as I am in dish water the top would get wet and you had to scrub it daily to keep it from getting a slime build up, not just wipe down but take a scrubby to it. The wood was getting warped from being wet so we knew we wanted to do something different just wasn't sure what till we found this. Refigerator? That is funny that you thought you might have saw one in the background, there is not one in that video however we did purchase a propane one this summer but because of lack of room in our home and because it is propane we have it outside under a plastic shelter. I was thinking about doing a video on some of the household pieces we have added. We are getting ready to build a small addition so will probably wait to do a home tour till we get that done. Thank you so much for watching! God's richest blessings!
