Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake
|
Ingredients
2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white sugar
1/3 cup margarine
1 cup sour milk
2 tablespoons orange liqueur/juice
1 (16 ounce) package frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 quart fresh strawberries
2 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate, chopped
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease and flour
2 (9 inch) pans. In the top of a double boiler, heat unsweetened
chocolate, stirring occasionally, until chocolate is melted and
smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool to lukewarm. In a
large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and
sugar. Cut in margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Blend in sour milk and melted unsweetened chocolate. Divide batter
into prepared pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes,
or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes
out clean. Allow to cool. Sprinkle cakes with orange liqueur.
Reserve 8 to 10 strawberries and slice the rest. Place one cake
on a serving plate, top with half of the sliced strawberries and
half of whipped topping. Cover with second layer, top with
remaining strawberries and whipped topping. Garnish with whole
strawberries. In the top of a double boiler, heat semisweet
chocolate, stirring occasionally, until chocolate is melted
and smooth. Drizzle over the strawberries.
