Hi Peggy and Lisa, I’m so glad this cake is getting aruond because it’s been one of our favorites. There is often a slight problem with the chocolate crumbs drifting to the middle, even in a tube pan. But a little dusting of confectioner’s sugar will cover a multitude of sins. It may have something to do with how well the chocolate has been ground and I’m not sure if it’s too fine or too coarse. I’ve tried it both ways and have mixed results. My mother used to make it in a 9 by 13 shallow roasting pan and she would cut it in squares to serve. It’s delicious any way you make it. Peggy, do you remember when we made seven or eight batches of batter to fill up the three tier pans to make the cake for your parents anniversary party. It came out beautifully and your frosting and decorating were fantastic. What did you use for the frosting? A butter cream? I don’t remember. Did you take any pictures? If you still have them you should post them.Happy baking!!Irene

Your ice cream posts have inspired me to dig out my ice cream maker. I believe it is buried at the back of a cupboard somewhere! And chocolate is always a favorite!

There is nothing like homemade ice cream. Nothing! It’s been oppressively hot here too and I’ve been meaning to break out the ice cream maker. These recipes give me even more incentive to do just that. :)

At first I read the title as chocolate chipotle ice cream, which would have been interesting! Thanks for the compare and contrast on these recipes–my ice cream maker has been getting a workout this summer.

OH, the heat, I am not looking forward to the summer heat here, it’s 75% humidity already.

I totally get that, there is nothing worse then digging into ice cream (like some brands out there) and they are not as creamy as ice cream should be. I do not care for ice milk. There was an all Natural brand what I loved growing up, but I remember the chocolate being on the creamy side. What is your favorite brand?

I love chocolate, but I’m pretty picky about chocolate ice cream. I think it’s because too often it’s not rich and dark enough for me. Sounds like perhaps the Bon Appetit recipe would be the way to go. I’m already starting to crave some!

It is honestly the best ice cream, you can control the ingredients, we are going to make strawberry tart next =) Give it a try, at first it is a little intimidating but once you have a base that you like down, it’s so much more fun after that =)
