Here's a cake recipe for all of the Chantico fans out there

This recipe was posted in one of the STARBUCKS GOSSIP forums by "Chris." Anyone care to guess the calories in one slice of this cake?

Chantico Chocolate Cake
Ingredients:
* 1 box "Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Devil's Food Cake" (you can use other brands, as long as it's Devil's Food and says "moist" on the box)
* 1 small box chocolate pudding
* 4 eggs
* 3/4 cup vegetable oil
* 1 cup sour cream (I use light)
* 6 oz of Chantico Drinking Chocolate from Starbucks
* butter or oil for greasing pan

Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Mix all ingredients well in a large bowl. Pour into a greased, cake pans (same variety and baking options as you seen on the mix box) and bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean or with crumbs clinging to it, about 30-45 minutes depending upon size of your pan. Cool in pan or Remove from Pan and sprinkle with powdered sugar or frost as follows:

Chantico Chocolate Cake Frosting
* 1 stick of butter
* 2/3 cup Hershey’s cocoa
* 3 ½ cups powdered sugar
* 3-4 oz Chantico Drinking Chocolate from Starbucks
* A bit of milk as needed to soften texture of frosting
* 1 tsp real vanilla extract
Melt Butter add to mixer bowl. Stir in cocoa. Alternately add powdered sugar and Chantico beating on medium speed to spreading consistency. Add milk if needed. Stir in Vanilla. Frost the cake with this once it is cooled. Try not to eat all the frosting before you use it.

I can think of a number starting with 7 and ending with 0 and only one digit in between.

I tried making this last night, but the frosting was way too runny. I tried adding flour, corn syrup and heavy cream to make it thicker, but didn't work. Tasted like heaven though! Any ideas as to why mine was so runny?

Here's how to make delicious chocolate covered strawberries. First of all ensure that the strawberries you are intending to use are dry, then allow them to be room temperature warm prior to making them. After the strawberries have been covered in chocolate, put them in your refrigerator to cool, but do not store them in the fridge. Consume within 1-2 days.

Oh God..you added FLOUR to your frosting?! Was the texture/taste really weird? If the frosting was too runny, try just softening the butter not actually melting it completely...or if you melt it, stick the mixture in the fridge for a few minutes before you get to the milk adding stage, just to firm things up a little.

I have a question too...is this cake recipe the same as what could be described as a German Chocolate cake that Starbucks do?
