Ingredients

  • Torte:
  • 3/4 C. butter
  • 3/4 C. unsweetened cocoa
  • 3/4 C. granulated sugar
  • 3/4 C. firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. hot red Spice Islands® Cayenne Pepper
  • 3/4 tsp. salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 C. all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. Clabber Girl® Baking Powder
  • 1/2 C. semisweet chocolate chips
  • 3 Tbsp. powdered sugar
  • Marbled Topping:
  • 3/4 C. semisweet dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 C. white chocolate chips
  • 4 tsp. Crisco® All-Vegetable Shortening

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Butter and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
