So I am really far behind.\u00a0 I can’t really come up with a reason except that I just lost my motivation.\u00a0 Suddenly things are picking up around here and instead of doing something constructive I am going to give you a special treat!<\/p>\n

I love strawberry shortcake and since NOW is the time to get your fresh strawberries it just felt like a good idea to seek out a recipe for chocolate short cakes.\u00a0 You know nothing goes better with strawberries than whipped cream and chocolate.\u00a0 After making adaptions twice to a recipe I found in FOODTV magazine I finally think I found one worthy of sharing.\u00a0 Next time I will add both baking soda and powder to see if I can get a little lighter taller version.\u00a0 Warning it looks like devils food but is dense.\u00a0<\/p>\n

1\/3 c.\u00a0\u00a0 sugar
\n1 c.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0flour
\n2 Tbl\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 cocoa Powder
\n1\/4 t.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 salt
\n3\/4 t.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Baking soda<\/p>\n

\"_IGP3266\"<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

—–\u00a0 Stir together—-<\/p>\n

4 Tbl.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Unsalted Cold butter<\/p>\n

Add butter to mixed dry ingredients with fingers, pastry blender or fork until “sandy”. I found the fork easiest.<\/p>\n

\"_IGP3267\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0Add 3 oz of Chocolate finely copped (Gihidaria 60%), I actually decided it was a good idea to put it in the food processor.\u00a0 The first time through I did the rough chop and didn’t like chocolate, chocolate chip shortcakes.<\/p>\n

\"_IGP3268\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Stir in – whisked together wet ingredients until you have a shaggy dough.<\/p>\n

1\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 egg
\n1\/4 c. heavy cream
\n1 t.\u00a0 vanilla (Mexican dark)<\/p>\n

Turn out onto a floured surface and pat until 1 1\/2″ thick, cut into 6 ” rounds (form scraps to make 6th)<\/p>\n

Place on parchment paper lined baking sheet and freeze for 20 min.<\/p>\n

\"_IGP3271\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Beat 1 egg to brush on cakes, sprinkle with raw sugar.\u00a0 Bake until firm — 20 min at 400 degrees.<\/p>\n

\"_IGP3358\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They stored nicely for a couple days in an air-tight container.\u00a0 Slice fill and top with strawberries made to your liking.<\/p>\n

\"_IGP3274\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nMy choice – slice them, place in container with sugar, splash of vanilla and a splash of water.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!
