How to Make Chocolate Lead Cake Grandma Thelma's
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 33-38 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting or decorating.
- For the powdered sugar design: Place a crocheted doily on top of the cooled cake. Sift powdered sugar evenly over the doily. Carefully remove the doily to reveal a beautiful lace pattern.
- For the whipped cream topping: Top with whipped cream and drizzle with chocolate syrup. Use a spatula to create decorative peaks.
