Simply Perfect Chocolate Cake

22/02/2019 chocolate cake recipe

If you want to make a homemade chocolate cake from scratch, this is a simple, yet easy recipe to make. German chocolate cake…” The batter was baked in 3 greased and floured 8-inch layer pans or 2 square 9 or 10 inch pans” and the coconut-pecan frosting spread between layers and on top only.” In the following year, a version of German Sweet Chocolate Cake” in the April 6, 1957 issue (p. 13) of the Hutchinson News-Herald (KS) repeated the basics of the German chocolate cake and coconut-pecan filling, but added a chocolate icing made from chocolate chips, marshmallows, sugar, cream, and butter.

Having recently become a gushing owner of a Kitchenaid mixer, I gravitate towards recipes that encourage its use so was avoiding this ‘food processor’ one (totally love the ‘ease’ element bu...

The Best Chocolate Cake Recipe Ever

29/01/2019 chocolate cake recipe

The Best Chocolate Cake Recipe – A one bowl chocolate cake recipe that is quick, easy, and delicious! But my mom knew that it was extremely important to keep the cake away from me because she knew that if I was allowed even a tiny amount of sugar, not only would I become intensely hyperactive, but the entire scope of my existence would funnel down to the singular goal of obtaining and ingesting more sugar.

If you were to make this as a last minute contribution to a New Year’s potluck and then, say, accidentally drop it out of the pan while inverting it such that it tragically rips apart into three separate pieces, it looks lovely when torn up and served in a glass bowl as part of a berries and cream trifle.

I haven’t actually made anything from it except this one bastardized recipe I’m a...

One Bowl Chocolate Cake III Recipe

11/01/2019 chocolate cake recipe

Fallen chocolate cake is a moist dessert that is rather like a supermoist, extra-rich brownie that is squishy in the centre. Or you can omit the cream cheese altogether (but of course, it is much tastier with it!). Turn this into a favourite birthday or celebration cake by making it in two 23cm (9 in) cake tins instead of one large one, and layering with chocolate buttercream. No one could stop me. My husband came home after work and asked where the cake was.

This is a lovely, moist, rich chocolate cake, which can be eaten just on its own at any time. Combine the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Please Select Username to appear on public areas of the site like community and recipe comments.

Mary Berry’s Chocolate Cake Recipe

15/12/2018 chocolate cake recipe

Updated: 1/12th of the cake (sugar free Pillsbury cake mix and 2 TBSP whipped topping) is 5PointsPlus for Weight Watchers. I like to make the cake, coconut frosting and chocolate frosting at least one day in advance. While the chocolate and butter are cooling a little, sieve the icing sugar into another bowl. At first i thought the cream cheese taste was too strong (I used Philadelphia Cream Cheese) but after whipping the frosting thoroughly, putting it on the cake and refrigerating the cake overnight, it tasted phenomenal.

This recipe is my quick version of that beloved cake and since I needed chocolate cake and I needed it fast, this one had to come first...

Yo’s Ultimate Chocolate Cake HOW TO CAKE IT

05/12/2018 chocolate cake recipe

Whether you’re making a special-occasion cake or an after-dinner treat, these easy recipes bake up perfectly every time. You can’t taste the coffee in the cake – it actually brings out the chocolate-y flavour. I split it into 2 6 inch pans, and then cut the layers to make a 4 layer cake (who doesn’t love a 6″ cake!?! Gradually sift and beat in the icing sugar and then add enough milk / water to make the icing fluffy and spreadable.

Do not use liquid food colouring as you will need a lot to obtain the desired shade of purple and yes, it will affect the consistency of the cake batter. Also looked up how to make chocolate curls on the back of a frozen baking tray online which finished the cake off perfectly – not easy to get the curls exactly like the pic here but sure that will …

Is Trump’s Chocolate Cake Really The ‘Most Beautiful’ You’ve Ever Seen?

17/11/2018 chocolate cake recipe

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter two 8-inch x 2-inch round cake pans. This cake also would have been perfect for the winter season when access to butter, milk, and eggs would have been much more limited. Sure, you could use milk or maybe replace a spoonful with some kirsch but she does not so I do not. Now pour the melted chocolate mixture and the egg mixture into the flour mixture, stirring just until everything is well blended and you have a smooth, quite runny consistency.

The birthday girl was happy, so I guess that is all that counts – but like you, I like taking recipes and making sure they are the best they can be. I will try it again…there is no such thing as too much chocolate cake...

The BEST Chocolate Cake Recipe

12/07/2018 chocolate cake recipe

Put the chocolate and honey into a bowl and place over a pan of hot water. Georgina is a cook, food writer and stylist from North London and has worked as part of Jamie Oliver’s food team for almost ten years. Chop the chocolate and place it in a heat-proof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. To make the cake as a gluten-free chocolate cake recipe, I’ve successfully used an equal amount of Cup 4 Cup gluten-free flour in place of the all-purpose flour listed in the recipe.
