Barefoot Contessa's Chocolate Cake/cupcakes

1 cup sugar

1 cup butter

4 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1- 16 oz can of chocolate syrup

1 cup flour

Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time. Add chocolate syrup. Sift in flour.

This recipe can be used for cake or cupcakes. Note there is no leavening agent, so this will not rise much while cooking. Cook at 350 until done.  

I have not tested out this recipe, but may in the future. Ina also suggests adding 1/2 tsp of instant coffee mix to intensify the chocolate taste.
