Consider the thread locked. I seem not to have gotten those privileges as backup mod yet, but Day One deadline is expired.

The promised recipe: Chocolate-Chocolate Chip Upside-Down Birthday Cake:

Ingredients:

10 tbsp. unsalted butter
3/4 c. packed light brown sugar
2/3 c. light corn syrup
1/4 c. heavy cream
1 3/4 c. sifted cake flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 eggs (separated)
3 squares unsweetened melted chocolate
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. milk
6 oz. chocolate chips (may substitute walnuts if you're not allergic like I am)

Preheat oven to 350 F. Melt 4 tbsp. butter in saucepan and stir in brown sugar. Warm until bubbling. Stir in corn syrup and cream. Continue to heat while stirring constantly until just boiling. Pour this mixture into a generously buttered 10" bundt pan. Continue on to prepare cake batter.

Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside. Beat 6 tbsp. butter until soft. Add sugar, mixing until combined. Add egg yolks, chocolate, and vanilla until combined. Alternate adding the flour mix in three parts and the milk in two parts, starting and ending with flour mix. Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold into batter. Gently stir in chocolate chips. Pour batter into the bundt pan; spread evenly. Bake for 45 min.

Once cake is out of oven and cooled for fifteen minutes, loosen edges and invert on a serving plate. You can remove any remaining caramel on the inside of the pan to add to the cake. Serve with whipped cream or whatever strikes your fancy.
