A couple months ago I got a cookbook called The Homestyle Amish Kitchen Cookbook - Plainly Delicious Recipes from the Simple Life. It has some great recipes in it. I have tried several new recipes and have yet to be disappointed. I really enjoy cooking homestyle foods from basic ingredients. This week we tried "Cake Pie" and once again we were delighted with the results. Here's how to make it:
Use your favorite pie crust recipe to make an 8 or 9 inch single pie crust. Place this in your pie pan.
-------------------------------
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1 cup flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Cream butter & sugar together. Mix egg & milk together. Mix flour and baking powder together. Alternate adding milk/egg mixture and flour mixture - stirring after each addition. Add the vanilla and mix well. Set aside.
------------------------------------------
4 Tbls. cocoa
1/2 cup sugar
6 Tbls. water
1/4 tsp. vanilla
Mix together cocoa, sugar, water & vanilla.
Pour chocolate mixture into the unbaked pie shell.
Next pour the mixture you set aside on top of the chocolate mixture. The chocolate will come up around the edges. The pie crust will not be very full - don't worry it will rise during baking.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes - toothpick in center should come out clean.
Cool & Enjoy!
This recipe is unlike anything I have ever had before. The center is cake-like (tastes like a homemade pound cake) with a thin layer of chocolate on the bottom and sides that is chocolate pie consistency & taste. Of course, the whole thing is completed by pie crust (which I love!). Very interesting & very yummy! I will definitely be making this recipe again!
