Dark Chocolate Edamame Breakfast Cake

November 1, 2013 By Talya Tate Boerner

(This post is sponsored by Great Day Farms…)

As the leaves turn and the air cools, I automatically think of baking. I also think of my mother-in-law. She’s been gone almost exactly a year. 

Dark Chocolate Edamame Breakfast Cake

Yesterday I poured over her old 1976 Betty Crocker cookbook, a time capsule of recipes prepared when supper was enjoyed around the dining room table on a nightly basis. Half the heavy volume was devoted to desserts with detailed pictures of molded cookies and trifles and crepes.

Coffee cake was extremely popular back then…

Reading the cookbook cover-to-cover motivated me to bake. Although Betty Crocker’s Brownie Nut Cake provided my initial inspiration, I changed and/or substituted every ingredient except vanilla extract to end up with a completely new recipe I’ve named Dark Chocolate Edamame Breakfast Cake.

This recipe with step-by-step instructions is posted over on the Great Day Farms website. Be sure to head over to Great Day Farms and print a copy so you can enjoy dark chocolate edamame breakfast cake tomorrow morning with your coffee.
