Chocolate Cake 

We'll see! Making 1 9x13 cake, but I'm pretty sure I'll soon want to double this recipe.

Combine in bowl:
8 oz starter
12 oz whole milk (warm if you need it to move quicker)
8 oz all purpose flour
Mix until it is very smooth.
Cover and let rest in a warm area 2-3 hours (depends on the activity of your starter) until puffy. You can gently stretch and fold during the rest time. It should be puffy and airy.

In bosch mixer beat with cake whips (the plastic whip ones):
10 oz sugar
8 oz very soft unsalted butter
1 T vanilla
1 t salt
Until very smooth.

Beat in:
3 oz cocoa powder

Beat in:
2 room temperature eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.

Mix in:
1 1/2 t soda

Add the starter mixture to the bowl and very gently mix until smooth and thoroughly mixed. It should be puffy and full of air with no streaks of the lighter colored starter mixture. It takes a bit of gentle work to mix thoroughly.

Pour into:
-9x13 pan
-TWO 9x9 pans
with parchment on the bottom.

Bake 30-40 minutes at bake 350* until cracks form, top is firm and temp is 200*.
