Recipe for Making Chocolate Cake

Here’s a recipe for the best ever chocolaty moist chocolate cake with dense brown chocolate color. It’s the easiest recipe I have ever baked and tastes divine!

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup boiling coffee

Directions

Preheat oven to 170C degrees.

Sift together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.  In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, vanilla essence, and oil.  Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture.  Beat together with a fork or hand whisk until everything is combined.  Add the boiling coffee and mix well.  (The batter will turn out thin.)

Pour batter into prepared 10-inch pan, and bake for 50 minutes or until a cake tester or wooden pick comes out clean.  Let the cake cool in the pan for 30 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack.

Serve immediately for warm chocolate cake, or bake a day in advance for an even richer taste.

Here’s a simple and easy but delicious recipe: Chocolate Cornstarch Pudding

Ingredients
1/2 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 3/4 cups milk
2 tablespoons margarine or butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

In a saucepan, combine sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt. Stir until well-mixed.  Place over medium heat, and slowly stir in milk. Bring mixture to a boil.  Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens.  (It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.)  Remove from heat.  Stir in margarine/butter and vanilla.

Serve warm by allowing it to cool briefly.  Or serve cold by chilling in refrigerator until ready to serve.

Check and see if there is a cake supply store in your area. They often carry them. JoAnn’s may also carry them. Hobby Lobby has them in store and on line. Here is a site that sells them.

Lexi Answered:
at craft stores, supermarkets, and cooking stores you can usually find molds but if you can’t then you can use one of these websites:
Kitchen Krafts
Confectionery House

Robert S Answered:
Try a bulk food store or cooking supply place.

How to make chocolate milk that tastes like cocoa pebbles milk?

Paul Asked: How to make chocolate milk that tastes like cocoa pebbles milk?

I recently bought a box of Cocoa Pebbles and the chocolate milk that is formed from the combo of the cereal and milk makes something divine.Does anyone know what exactly makes the chocolate milk taste so good?It tastes so much better than normal chocolate milk made from chocolate syrup or power.I want to try to create a chocolate milk that has a similar taste of that made from cocoa pebbles and milk.Any info or suggestions would be much appreciated!Thanks!

Answers:

Jacob Answered:
Make regular chocolate milk and put pure sugar in it. That’s basically cereal for you.

Bryn from CUO Answered:
It might be that the cereal picks up some malt flavoring.  Try starting with a glass of Ovaltine, perhaps adding a little more sugar or chocolate.

I put chocolate in the microwave too long and now it’s gone all hard and messy how can I fix this?

I put chocolate in the microwave too long and now it’s gone all hard and messy how can I fix this?

Answers:

Its Nick Answered:
In case of microwave chocolate fail… More chocolate.

Drag1 Answered:
Try again with new chocolate but decrease cooking time

Holly Answered:
Oh man, the number of times I’ve done this!

Well, in future i would suggest cooking it in short bursts (like 30 seconds) and stirring and then repeating til its melted.

But if it does go hard and messy, you can just add a little bit of cream and stir it in. (not too much though!) this usually helps.

Once its gone all hard and messy, you’ll never get it back to normal but i do find that the cream does help to at least make it kind of melty again.

If you don’t have cream just use melted butter or marg. (but be aware that this can make it go quite oily).

Bin Lionel Answered:
You can make chocolate sauce out of it: Put it in a saucepan, add a couple spoons water or milk. Cook on low heat and whisk well and it should become smooth and silky, it won’t harden like the original chocolate but it is a usable sauce. Hope this can help 🙂

Bryn from CUO Answered:
It’s burned.  It can never be good chocolate again.  Even if you eat it as is, it will taste burned and the texture will feel funny in your mouth.

What can I use instead of baking soda?

Yahoo User Asked: What can I use instead of baking soda?

Out of baking soda. Would Baking powder works for making chocolate chip cookies?

Answers:

Lucy Answered:
You can substitute baking powder in place of baking soda (you’ll need more baking powder and it may affect the taste), but you can’t use baking soda when a recipe calls for baking powder.
