DARN GOOD CHOCOLATE CAKE ( CAKE MIX CAKE) RECIPE - FOOD.…



Darn Good Chocolate Cake ( Cake Mix Cake) Recipe - Food.… image

This recipe is adapted from "The Chocolate Cake Mix Doctor" by Anne Byrn. It was originally a bundt cake with chocolate chips, but I prefer the look of layer cakes (so much more homey looking) so I switched the cake pan size AND I left out the chocolate chips (because there's nothing worse than ruining the velvety texture of a layer cake than by adding hard chocolate chips to it). This is a dense, moist layer cake. I cut each layer in half so I get 4 layers and slather them with "perfect chocolate frosting" (recipe #86768). The end result is a fudgy chocolate layer cake with tons of frosting (and yes, it is going to be sweet). It is KEY to cut the layers in half. It ends up being a much moister cake this way because the frosting kind of melts into the cake layers forming a kind of fudgy filling in between the thin cake layers. I hope you enjoy it :)

Total Time 45 minutes

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 30 minutes

Yield 1 layered cake, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (18 1/4 ounce) package devil's food cake mix
1 (4 ounce) box instant chocolate pudding mix
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs
chocolate frosting (" Perfect" Chocolate Frosting is preferred, but store bought or your own recipe is acceptable)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Grease 2 9-inch round cake pans.
  • Dust with flour and tap out the excess; set pans aside.
  • Place the cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, water, oil, and eggs in a large mixing bowl.
  • Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute.
  • Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • On medium low speed, continue to blend for 2-3 minutes more.
  • The batter will be very thick and should look well combined.
  • Pour batter into prepared pans and smooth it out.
  • Bake for 27-32 minutes (since I switched pans, I started checking the cakes at 25 minutes-- it was like gooey chocolate pudding-- then 3 minutes later it was perfect.
  • Another couple of minutes and I think it would have been dry, so keep an eye on your cakes.
  • Allow to cool in the pans on a wire rack for 20 minutes.
  • Now is the time to start preparing your frosting.
  • Run a knife along the edges on the cakes pans and carefully remove cake by inverting it; allow to cool for 20 minutes more on the wire rack right side up.
  • When the cake layers are completely cool, cut layers in half (save a domed layer for the top-- it makes your cakes look homemade) and frost.

Who could resist our chocolate and raspberry cake? Like a Victoria sponge but better, try budget-friendly frozen raspberries for the cream

Provided by Anna Glover

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Total Time 1 hours

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 40 minutes

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

225ml sunflower oil , plus extra for the tins
250g caster sugar
3 large eggs
225ml milk
250g self-raising flour
4 tbsp cocoa
1½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
150g raspberry jam
100g frozen raspberries , defrosted
300ml double cream
2 tbsp icing sugar

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Oil and line two round 20cm springform cake tins with baking parchment. Whisk the oil, sugar, eggs and milk in a bowl until smooth. Sieve the flour, cocoa and bicarb into another large bowl, then gradually mix in the wet ingredients.
  • Divide the mixture between the tins and bake for 35-40 mins until the cakes are risen and spring back when pressed. Leave to cool in the tins for 10 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For the raspberry layer, stir the jam and the defrosted raspberries together. Once the cakes are cool, whip the cream with the sugar to soft peaks, then gently fold half the raspberry mixture through the cream to create a ripple effect.
  • Spoon most of the reserved raspberry mixture over one of the cakes, then dollop on half of the cream. Smooth over with a palette knife, then place the other sponge on top. Swirl over the remaining cream and swirl the last of the raspberry mixture through it. Will keep in the fridge for two days.
