Portillos Chocolate Cake Recipe Copycat Portillos Chocolate cake Copycat Recipe October 25, 2020 Difficulty: Easy Print This By: Cooking Frog Ingredients • 1 box Betty Crocker Cake Mix • 3 Eggs • 1 cup ice-cold water • 1 cup Mayonnaise • 2 cans of Betty Crocker’s chocolate frosting. Directions Step 1 • Heat the oven to 350°F. Take two round pans of 9-inches each. Grease the pans well with oil or butter. Step 2 • Take a large bowl and add cake mix, water, eggs, and mayonnaise in it. Slowly mix the ingredients for 30 seconds. Now increase the speed to high and mix for 4 minutes. Step 3 • Pour an equal amount of cake batter in both pans. Step 4 • Place these pans in the preheated baking oven and bake the cakes for 30 - 32 minutes. After 32 minutes pierce a toothpick in the middle of the cakes. If the toothpick comes out clean, your cakes are ready. Step 5 • Rest the cakes for 5 minutes. Now remove cakes from the pans. Place them on the cooling racks and let them cool for about an hour. Step 6 • Place one cake on a plate and spread 3/4th of the frosting on top. Now place the other cake on top of it and pour the remaining 1/4th part of the frosting on top of it. Now use your skills to decorate the cake and Serve! Yes! This recipe begins with the Betty Crocker cake mix. The eggs give a structure to your cake and make the cake fudgy and spongy. Mayonnaise will make this cake moist and soft. Vinegar present in the mayonnaise balances the sweet flavor of sugar in the cake. Another plus point of this recipe, you don’t have to make the frosting by yourself. If you can use the readymade frosting, then why bother making it at home ;) Tips to Bake the Best Portillos Chocolate Cake Recipe Use the eggs at room temperature. Remember not to overmix the cake batter. Overmixing the batter makes the cake dry and hard. Mix the batter until all the ingredients are mixed well. You can also add a bit of coffee to enhance the rich chocolaty flavor of the cake and makes it even more delicious. Don’t worry, your cake won’t get the taste of the coffee. Just 1tsp of the espresso powder is enough to do the magic. Don’t open the cake during baking. Doing so alters the temperature inside the oven and your cake may not be baked well.

Directions to Make a Best Thunder Cake
Take a large well-kept bowl, add in all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix all the dry ingredients and put them aside to add later on in the batter.
Take another bowl, pour in the eggs white, and beat them with an electric mixer until stiff peaks are formed.
To the bowl of wet ingredients, add a cup of shortening and mix it with an electric mixer.
To this mixture, add three egg yolks and mix them. In the end, add a cup of cold water.
Now, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix all ingredients until a smooth batter is formed.
Next, add tomato puree and mix it again.
Now, add all the dry ingredients and mix them until everything is well-combined.
Once you are done with the batter, grease 8 and a half inch two baking pans with some butter.
Then sprinkle in some flour and wipe off the extra flour.
Finally, transfer the thunder cake batter into the baking pans.
Then bake the cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, the cake is baking, prepare an amazing chocolate frosting. To a neat and clean bowl, whisk together melted butter with sugar. Then add in the remaining ingredients and mix everything to form a perfect frosting.
Then take out the cake from the oven. Let the cake cool down for 10 minutes.
Then take the cake out of the pan and let them cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes until it gets cooled to room temperature.
Finally, decorate the cake with creamy chocolate frosting.
A delightful Thunder cake is ready to serve your friends and family.
Tips & Tricks for Thunder Cake Recipe
Sift all the dry ingredients to make a perfectly smooth and lumps-free thunder cake batter.
Don't forget to scrape off the sides of the bowl while transferring the batter into the baking pans.
Properly grease the sides and bottom of the pan for an easy release of the cake from the pan.
Don't take the cake out of the pan immediately after baking because the soft and fluffy cake will break. Allow the cake to rest for some time so that it can hold its shape.
FAQs
Why is the texture of my cake so gummy?
You desire your mixture to be fully blended, but if your manual mixer or stand mixer is set too high, it will not only heat your ingredients, but it will also mix your dough too rapidly, causing your cake to have a hard, gummy texture.
How can I know if my cake is done properly?
Using a wooden skewer, prick the cake. If the cake still has gloppy bits on it when it comes out of the oven, it needs a bit more time in the oven. Return the cake to the oven and continue the process for another 4–5 minutes.
Place a layer of aluminum foil on top of the cake if the cake is starting to brown, but pieces of batter are still sticking to the skewer.
When it comes to baking powder vs. baking soda, what's the difference?
Baking powder and baking soda aid in the rising of a cake. In addition to the air introduced during mixing, they enhance the number of air bubbles in the batter. Despite the fact that they do the same job, they should never be switched one for the other.
Should I measure using cups or scales?
Precision is key when it comes to baking. Your dough will become too crumbly, sticky, or firm if something is wrong. Even if you believe you can eyeball items, take the time to weigh them out with your scales.
Why isn't my cake rising correctly?
Is your cake a hard mass that hasn't risen? Check the baking soda's expiration date. It won't work correctly if it's out of date.
Too much baking soda, on the other hand, causes the cake to rise too quickly and fall in on itself. Using too much baking powder has an unpleasant aftertaste.
