I love Heidi's latest installment for her "Cookbook List" on 101 Cookbooks.
Isaac Mizrahi shares his love of cooking and lists his top cookbooks including a favorite chocolate cake recipe from the Fannie Farmer Cookbook. Who knew Isaac could rock a chocolate cake?
Here is the simple but infamous Fannie Farmer 1931 recipe for chocolate fudge. Try it and let me know if it lives up to its reputation!
***
Fannie Farmer’s 1931 Chocolate Fudge
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter
4 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups light cream
4 squares chocolate
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Melt butter in a pan 8 x 8-inch, add sugar, cream and chocolate, stir gently
until chocolate melts. Boil without stirring to 238 degrees or until mixture
forms a soft ball when dropped into cold water. Remove from heat, let stand
until cool and add flavoring. Beat with a wooden spoon. Pour 3/4-inch thick into
a buttered pan and mark in squares.
