FUNNY CAKE

Batter Ingredients

• 2 cups sugar
• 1/2 cup margarine
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups flour
• 1 cup milk
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Pre-heat oven to 350° F. Line 2 pie pans with pie crust. I use Pillsbury already made crusts.

TO MAKE CHOCOLATE LAYER: Mix in a sauce pan, the first 3 ingredients; bring to boil and boil 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool while mixing the cake batter. This is almost as thin as water but trust me, it thickens while baking.

TO MAKE BATTER: Cream sugar and margarine. Add the eggs till smooth, alternately add flour and milk. To the last of the milk, add the baking powder and vanilla. The batter will be a little thinner than regular cake batter. Divide the chocolate into the 2 pie crusts. Pour the batter on top of the chocolate. As it pours out and forms maybe a ribbon looking layer, just smooth batter over the chocolate completely before baking. Bake about 40 minutes or until the top of the cake is a light golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

Notes: This is a real yummy cake. You can substitute the whole 1/2 cup margarine with only a 1/4 cup of the fat free lighter bake you can find in the grocery stores that I told you about earlier that you put in my tips and the eggs with egg scramblers and the milk with skim milk to make a very low fat recipe of it and it doesn't change the flavor at all. This also freezes very well. Great if you are a "chocoholic" like I am.
