Can be baked how you like… cup cakes, 8.5 X11 pan, 8 or 9 in rounds, cookie sheet to get brownie like cakes… you decide. You can also decide how to bake it. The author of this cake could be anyone… *it is said that it is the Magleby’s Restaurant cake… and well… if you bake it at 325 for 50 to 60 minutes then you can call it that. Or you can bake at 375 for 20-40 minutes. This cake can also be called Texas Fudge… some people use sour cream (Magleby’s) or you can use buttermilk or regular milk with a tablespoon of vinegar, or just regular old milk.
Below I will also give you tips on making a basic buttercream / chocolate frosting recipe into a Magleby’s recipe. Basically, do it by hand. Let your butter sit out and become room temperature, then gently work the ingredients by hand. You can also melt the butter and milk in a sauce pan and get yet another Texas fudge like consistency. You decide!
Have fun, enjoy!
