Caramelized Chocolate Onion Cake
6-oz. unsweetened Chocolate 1 cup sweet Onion, like Vadalia,
finely diced 1 cup Vegetable Oil, divided 2 cups Sugar 2
large Eggs 1 tsp. Vanilla 2 cups Flour 1 tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 tsp. Salt 1 cup Sour Milk, just add 1 Tbsp.
Vinegar to Milk
Melt chocolate in micro-wave, stirring often. In 2 Tbsp. of
the oil, caramelize onions over medium low heat for 8 to 10
minutes. In large electric mixer bowl, beat oil, sugar,
eggs, and vanilla until nice and fluffy for 2-3 minutes.
Beat in warm chocolate and caramelized onions. Mix flour
with baking soda and salt; stir into batter alternately with
milk. Bake in a 350 degree oven in two round cake pans for
25 to 35 minutes, checking with toothpick by sticking it in
cake close to the middle. If it comes out clean cake is
done. Remove from oven and let cool in pan 10 minutes. Turn
out on cooling rack and let get completely cooled before
icing. Use icing of your choice.
footnote: this is a recipe my dad's wife gave me. She is
fond of saying she will eat onions on or with anything
including ice cream. Now she's a pretty good cook so give
this a try, you might just like it.
