Anyone have a recipe for Dobash Cake (not using any mixes yuck!) that
works? I tried this one but it came out more like a soft brownie. Two
possible reasons:
1. The so-called large eggs sold by Safeway were too small. Should have
added one more?
2. I had to use a large pan than was recommended.
=============
Also, does anyone have the recipe for the bread that Harpo's uses for
their Eggplant Sandwich?

TIA
Dobash Cake
3 large eggs, whites and yolks separated
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups cake flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
3/8 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup milk
Preheat oven to 350ª F. Line 2 - 8" round pans with parchment or waxed
paper. Beat egg whites until frothy. Gradually beat in 1/2 cup of
sugar, and beat until stiff. Sift dry ingredients together. Make a well
in the flour mixture; add vegetable oil and half of the milk. Beat
until well blended on medium speed. Add remaining 1/2 cup milk and egg
yolks and beat until smooth. Fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites.
Pour into prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Cool and slice each
layer in half, horizontally, to make 4 layers. Frost with Following
frosting.
Frosting
1 1/2 cup water
1 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
6 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup water
Combine 1 1/2 cup water, sugar, salt and butter and bring to a boil.
Sift the cocoa and cornstarch together to get the lumps out and combine
with the remaining 1/2 cup water. Add to the boiling mixture. Bring to
a boil again, cool slightly, and use to frost the cake. Work quickly as
the frosting will set up as it cools.
