Quadruple Chocolate Loaf cake
Cake
1 2/3 c. AP flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. cocoa
1 1/3 c. sugar
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
2 eggs
2 T. vanilla
1/3 c. sour cream
1/2 c. boiling water
1 c. mini chocolate chips
Syrup
1 tsp. cocoa
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. water
2 oz. dark chocolate, chopped or curled, for garnish
Equipment: Loaf pan - approximately 9.5 x 4.5 x 3 inches, lined with greased foil, overhanging at the top. Preheat oven to 325F and place baking sheet on middle rack.
In processor, add flour, baking soda, cocoa, sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla, and sour cream - blitz until smooth. Scrape down batter and process again while pouring boiling water down the funnel. Turn off, remove lid and add chocolate chips, using spatula to combine.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and place on baking sheet in the oven; cook for about 1 hour. The cake will be done when the loaf has risen, split down the middle, and a cake tester comes out fairly clean.
About 10 minutes before the cake should be done, put the syrup ingredients into a small saucepan and boil for 5 minutes (it won't thicken much).
When the cake is done, place it on a cooling rack (still in the pan) and pierce here and there using a kabob skewer, cake tester, or chop stick. Pour the syrup over the cake, letting it soak in. Allow the cake to come to room temperature, then remove it from the pan and remove the foil. Sprinkle with generously with chocolate garnish. ENJOY!

I just read your previous post on wordless Wednesdays and i just wanted to tell you that I feel like picking up the phone and calling Ro too, or sending an email, or checking her blog to see any new updates. I feel an emptiness in that part of my heart and have to catch myself before I let it get too hard. I loved her dearly.
Cara, I seriously think I gained 5 pounds just READING about this cake. But, you were right, it was worth it! Or it would be if I had actually eaten it...I think it would definitely be dangerous to have around! ...yummm...
