Chocolate is my favorite sweet to go. I love it, therefore; I take every opportunity that I have to make desserts with chocolate. This is one of those occasions when I used not one but three chocolate combinations to complete this dessert; dark chocolate cocoa, milk chocolate chips and melted white chocolate to decorate. I hope that you like it. Approximate Prep and Cooking Time: 40 minutes Approximate Cost: $6.47 or $1.08 per serving Difficulty Level: X Easy ____ Intermediate ____ Advanced Servings: 6 to 8 Ingredients ½ c. Butter (.65) 2 Eggs (.32) 1 c. Granulated Sugar (.50) 1 tsp. vanilla (2.00) ½ c. Flour (.45) ¼ tsp. salt (.15) ¼ tsp. baking powder (.20) 1 c. Milk chocolate chips (.55) 1/3 c. Hershey’s Dark Chocolate Cocoa Powder (.55) ½ cup White chocolate almond bark or chips to decorate ($1.10) Directions for the Chocolate Torta: Preheat oven at 350 degrees and spray with cooking oil a round 8 or 9” pan. Melt the butter and add it to a large bowl. Add the sugar, eggs and vanilla, beat. Add the cocoa powder, flour, salt, baking powder, beat to mix, then add chocolate chips. Pour batter into your prepared baking pan. Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes. The cake is done when you insert a toothpick in the middle and it comes out clean. Let the Torta cool down before melting the white chocolate to decorate it. Directions to melt the White Chocolate: Place the white chocolate into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in high for 60 seconds, stir. If it hasn’t melt already, continue microwaving for 15 seconds at a time until it becomes smooth and easy to pour. (Warning: It will be extremely hot.)
