On 04-08-07 DALE SHIPP Scribbled to ALL  about Picnic Plans

DS>   The primary decision, for which we want the group's input, is:

DS>   Do you want to go to The Harris Crab house?

If the traffic isn't horrific and if we can go at a time when we are not 
packed in elbow to rib with other diners.  Bv)=

DS>   Do you have a preference or not for the main picnic to be Saturday
DS>   or Sunday.

Saturday works for me.

DS>   I would greatly appreciate response from all who are contemplating
DS>   coming to the picnic on *both* of those questions -- even if the
DS>   response is "I don't care".

      Title: Favorite Chocolate Layer Cake & Frosting
 Categories: Desserts, Cakes, Chocolate
      Yield: 12 servings
 
      1 c  Cocoa powder
      2 c  Boiling water
      1 c  Butter; softened
  2 1/2 c  Sugar
      4    Eggs; room temperature
  2 3/4 c  All-purpose flour
      2 ts Baking soda
    1/2 ts Baking powder
    1/2 ts Salt
  1 1/2 ts Vanilla extract

MMMMM----------------FAVORITE CHOCOLATE FROSTING---------------------
      6 oz Pkg semi-sweet chocolate
           -chips
    1/2 c  Half-and-half
    3/4 c  Butter
  2 1/2 c  Sifted confectioners' sugar
 
  Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour three 9-inch
  cake pans.
  
  In a medium bowl, stir the boiling water into the cocoa
  until smooth, and set aside. In a separate bowl, combine
  the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt, and set
  aside.
  
  At medium speed of an electric mixer, cream the butter and
  sugar, scraping sides of the bowl as necessary. Let the
  mixer run for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time,
  beating well after each addition.
  
  With the mixer running at low speed, add the dry ingredients
  to the creamed mixture alternately with the cocoa mixture,
  beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Stir in the
  vanilla, and do not overbeat.
  
  Pour an equal amount of batter into each of the three
  prepared pans. Bake at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes or until
  a cake tester comes out clean. Cool in pans set on racks
  for 10 minutes. Invert pans on racks, remove pans, and
  allow layers to cool completely before frosting.
  
  FOR THE ICING
  
  Combine the chocolate chips, half-and-half and butter in a
  heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly,
  until chocolate chips melt. Remove from heat. Gradually add
  the confectioners' sugar, stirring well.
  
  Set the saucepan in a large bowl filled with ice, and beat
  at low speed with an electric mixer until frosting begins
  to lose its gloss and holds its shape. If necessary, add a
  half-teaspoon or so of half-and-half to achieve perfect
  spreading consistency.
