He was a great sport about it!

Angel Food Cake with Strawberry Buttercream
Guess which one my grandmother chose....

See Angel Food Cake Recipe in Previous Post.
Makes 16 servings
(I multiplied the recipe by four and still somehow got around 100 cupcakes including the mini's)
Ingredients
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
2.5 cups sugar
1.5 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup hot brewed coffee
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup veggie oil
2 eggs
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler over hot simmering water, then remove pan from heat
Sift sugar, flour, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the hot coffee, sour cream, and veggie oil, gradually whisk in the eggs and stir in the chocolate
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until all are smoothly blended
Fill cupcake liners 2/3ds full and bake for 20 minutes or 15 for mini cupcakes.
Try 'em out! They were decadent!
