SIMPLE CHOCOLATE CAKE RECIPE THAT TAKES JUST 40 MINS ...



Simple chocolate cake recipe that takes just 40 mins ... image

This is a really easy chocolate cake recipe. Once you’ve made the cake itself, you can dress it up any way you fancy – for example, you could fill it with whipped cream and jam instead of chocolate icing. Or, after icing or buttercreaming, why not decorate with colourful sweets or chocolate buttons for a birthday cake? Then when you’re feeling confident with your baking, take it up a level, with our triple chocolate layer cake. We’ve also got a chocolate mud cake recipe, and John Waite’s super-moreish chocolate cola cake recipe to check out.

Total Time 45 minutes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 25 minutes

Yield Serves 10

Number Of Ingredients 13

225g unsalted butter, softened, plus extra for greasing
225g caster sugar
4 medium free-range eggs
175g self-raising flour
50g cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
2-3 tbsp milk
For the icing
250g dark chocolate
250g butter, softened
175g icing sugar
You’ll also need…
2 sandwich tins

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4. Grease 2 x 20cm sandwich tins with a little butter and base line with baking paper. In a bowl, beat together the butter and sugar with an electric hand whisk until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each addition. Sift in the flour, baking powder and cocoa, then lightly fold into the mixture.
  • Add a little milk until you have a dropping consistency, then divide between the tins. It’s best to only fill the sandwich tins 3/4 full.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water, then cool slightly. In a bowl, beat the butter and icing sugar together with an electric hand whisk until light and fluffy, then fold in the melted chocolate.
  • Spread some icing over 1 of the cakes, top with the other cake and the rest of the icing.

CHOCOLATE COVERED CANDY CREAMS ... - JUST A PINCH RECIPES



Chocolate Covered Candy Creams ... - Just A Pinch Recipes image

My sister, Susan, showed me how to make these back in the sixties and I used to make them at Christmas time as gifts. They are a lot of fun to do because you can make one batch, separate it into different portions and color and flavor each portion as you wish. Then when you are all done... dip them into melted chocolate and Wow! Folks will think you are an excellent candy maker!!

Categories     Candies

Number Of Ingredients 8

MAKING CREAMY CENTERS
8 ounce(s) cream cheese
2 pound(s) confectioners' sugar to consistency
COLOR & FLAVOR FOR SEPARATE MOUNDS
1 teaspoon(s) mint extract (or any flavoring you like)
- 2 or 3 drops food color (your choice)
CHOCOLATE FOR COATING
1 or 2 - 12 oz bags of milk chocolate chips (or merckens, etc.)

Steps:

  • soften cream cheese in microwave -- don't melt, simply soften -- about 30 seconds
  • begin to add powdered sugar by cup fulls -- work into cream cheese until it gets to be like a firm batter -- play dough would be a good example of the consistency you are looking for -- and you will end up having to do it with your hands
  • separate the ball into as many different flavors as you would like to make -- I used to make at least 4 or 5 at a time. (Suggested flavors that people liked: vanilla, almond, mint, anise, chocolate, rum, cherry, orange, lemon, etc -- whatever you have in your cupboard or desire to purchase for this project.)
  • To Flavor: make a deep thumb print in one of the balls and put in a drop or 2 of coloring and a tsp of flavoring -- begin working the ball with your hands until the color is smoothly distributed -- add more powdered sugar to bring back to workable dough that is not sticky. (I liked the colors to be pastel which I always thought were more appetizing so I never added more than 1 or 2 drops of food coloring -- you may do as much as you want.)
  • After each ball is colored and flavored I used to decide on a different shape for each flavor so I could tell which ones were which after they were all coated with chocolate. Such as: tiny balls for one flavor, little squares for another, oblong balls for another, rectangles for another, flattened balls for another, etc.
  • Slowly & carefully melt chocolate on low heat on stove top (or in microwave if you are comfortable with that -- I like the stove top because I have more control over the process) -- then dip each ball or shape into the chocolate and place on waxed paper covered cookie sheets. They will harden very quickly. I did not like to get my hands all chocolate covered so I always used a spoon to dip, and roll in the chocolate, then scoop out and place on waxed paper.
  • After I had made these over the years, I also began to experiment with chocolate coating things that were already made (I was getting lazy LOL). One of my most favorite things was to chocolate coat gum drops. Candy manufacturers used to make chocolate covered "jellies" which I always loved... but they began to disappear over the years... gum drops were a perfect solution for someone who missed them!!
  • I also found that I could chocolate coat dried pineapple, or mix peanuts with the chocolate to make little peanut heaps. We used to make "hay stacks" by dumping those hard canned Chinese noodles into chocolate and making little stacks. My sister used to like a Chunky candy bar and we made our own with peanuts and raisins in chocolate dropped by spoonfulls on waxed paper.
  • Other people like to coat pretzels and crackers and cookies... once you get started with chocolate coating things you will find lots of individual and unique ways to make Christmas gifts that your friends will get from no other source. They will be clamoring for your home made creations. Enjoy!
