Bart Ehrman's Perfectly Rich Chocolate Cake
Dr. Ehrman contends that the scholarly cooking community recognizes the problems of authenticity in some of the traditional offerings baked and served up to the unsuspecting public as nourishing and delicious food. He has produced a series of books unmasking this conspiracy to hide the truth from the people and to offer them baked items without hypocrisy and phony claims. What follows is an example of Dr. Ehrman's "Perfectly Rich Chocolate Cake."
Ingredients:
•2 cups sugar
•1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
•3/4 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa
•1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
•1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
•1 teaspoon salt
•2 eggs
•1 cup milk
•1/2 cup vegetable oil
•2 teaspoons vanilla extract
•1 cup boiling water
•Ehrman's "PERFECTLY CHOCOLATE" CHOCOLATE FROSTING(recipe follows)
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
2. Remove the sugar, flour, cocoa, eggs, and milk since we do not know if they are authentic or not. Different recipe's record various combinations of them in differing amounts. We cannot be sure if the recipe comes from Dr. Ehrman or is the result of a later recension, scribal interpolations, etc. Taking seriously the maxim, lectio brevior lectio potior, we should assume that the original Alexandrian recipe did not have the Byzantine items of sugar, flour, cocoa, eggs, and milk which are probably later additions to the recipe. Stir together the remaining ingredients in large bowl. Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin). Pour batter into prepared pans.
3. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks. Cool completely. Frost with Ehrman's "PERFECTLY CHOCOLATE" CHOCOLATE FROSTING. 10 to 12 servings.

Withe the feathers still on, take a whole chicken, slay it by making it fall backwards into red-hot hellfire. Roast until very dark.

Sounds like you need a jug of Cane Ridge Corn Liquor to wash that down. I hear it's so good it'll make you bark like a dog!
