If you are using really good cocoa 5 or 6 tbsp should be plenty but I like dark chocolate flavors. 1/2 cup might be too much.
Add the cocoa to the dry ingredients. Then mix those with the wet.
You could mix the batter part way and taste and if you wanted more chocolate you could add more cocoa to the remaining dry ingredients before mixing them with the wet.

Thank you very much.. I will let ya know how it works out.. I want to add it to the church cookbook we are putting together.. I thought with chocolate and lemon variations would be nice to add..
MissPrissy, I read your ice cream recipe & I was suprised to see flour in it. I have never seen another ice cream recipe with flour in it except our family recipe I know is alest 4 generation old.
MissPrissy put me up to making this cake. I had never made a cake from scratch before (and only one ever from a box), and it turned out very well. I used a sheet pan instead because I didn't know what a tube pan was
and the byc members in chat helped walk me through it. I didn't tell my wife what I was doing because she was at work and would have rushed home to supervise or stop me. You should have seen the look on her face when she saw it.
PRICELESS!
While the cake turned out well, I learned some things that I will definitely do different next time- and I even want to try again.
Thanks for the help everyone- This was the cake the BYC built!
