Chocolate Broiler Cake Food

CHOCOLATE FLAN CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat 12-cup fluted tube pan with no-stick cooking spray. Place piece of rolled up foil in tube of pan to prevent cake from baking over top. Pour caramel topping into prepared pan.
• Prepare cake mix according to package directions using the water, oil and eggs. Pour evenly over caramel topping.
• Combine cream cheese, eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk and vanilla in blender container. Process until blended. Pour slowly over cake batter. NOTE: While baking, the cake rises and the milk mixture goes to the bottom.
• Coat piece of foil with no-stick cooking spray. Cover pan, coated side down, tightly with foil. Place pan in large roasting pan. Pour hot water into roasting pan to a depth of 2 inches.
• Bake 2 hours or until toothpick in center still has a few moist crumbs. Place cake on cooling rack. Cool 15 minutes. Remove foil and invert onto serving plate. Cool 1 hour at room temperature. Chill 4 hours or overnight.

CHOCOLATE BROILER CAKE FROSTING

Steps:

• Combine the butter, brown sugar, and milk in a saucepan. Bring to a boil.
• Remove from heat and stir in the nuts/coconut. Spread evenly over the top of the warm cake (still in pan).
• Place cake low under a slow broiler. Broil until lightly toasted. Watch carefully. Cool completely in pan.

GET-YOUR-GRILL-ON CAKE

Steps:

• For the hot dogs: Unwrap the salt water taffy and caramels and place on a microwave-safe dish. Microwave until slightly softened and a little pliable but not melted, about 10 seconds. Knead the candies together to blend into a uniform pinkish color. Divide into 2 equal sections and roll each piece into a hot dog shape. Freeze for 2 hours to harden.
• Using the food coloring marker, add "grill marks" to the hot dogs.
• For the grill cake: Bake two 9-inch cake rounds according to the cake mix box instructions, then let cool completely. Trim the cake tops, place on large plate and frost with the chocolate frosting.
• For the coals: Preheat the broiler on low. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Arrange the mini marshmallows on the prepared baking sheet in a 7-inch diameter circle (the marshmallows will melt together and form a disk). Place under the broiler until the marshmallows are slightly charred, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool completely.
• For the cheeseburgers: In a medium pot, combine the marshmallows, chocolate chips and butter and heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the marshmallows and chocolate are melted. Remove from the heat, stir in the cereal and vanilla and mix until completely combined. Form into patties. Cut the fruit leather into 3-by-3-inch pieces and arrange on top of the puffed rice cereal patties.
• For the kebabs: Thread a slice of the lime and orange candy onto a 6-inch bamboo skewer, followed by a gumball and then a lemon and cherry candy slice. Repeat with the remaining candy on a second skewer.
• For the corn on the cob: Slice off the ends of the cream-filled sponge cake. Frost the outside with the vanilla frosting, leaving the bottom unfrosted. Press the jelly beans into the frosting to form corn kernels and continue until completely covered. Insert a corn holder at each end.
• To assemble: Place the disk of marshmallow coals on top of the cake. Sprinkle the rock candy in between the coals. Place an 8-inch cooling rack on top. Arrange the hot dogs, kebabs, corn on the cob and cheeseburgers on top of the cooling rack.

TIM AND TRACY'S CHOCOLATE CAKE (BOILED)

Steps:

• If you don't have self raising flour, use plain flour with 1 heaped teaspoon of baking powder added to it.
• Preheat the oven to 170C/340°F.
• Butter a 20cm/8" cake tin. Line the base with baking paper.
• Put the butter, sugar, water, cocoa and bicarb in a saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring constantly.
• It goes a bit volcanic so once the mixture rises, be prepared to take it off the stove immediately. Set aside to cool.
• Beat the eggs in a large bowl.
• Sift in a bit of the flour and then mix in some of the chocolate. Continue until all the flour and chocolate are incorporated. If you do this a bit at a time, the flour will mix in easily without overmixing and making the cake tough.
• Pour into the prepared cake tin and bake for 45 minutes.
• Cool on a wire rack.
• Ice with your favourite icing or leave un-iced.
• To make a larger cake, use 3 eggs and scale everything else up by 50%. (BTW, this is a maths problem that I give to my kids!).
• Edited to include icing: Kookaburra referred to the icing in my original recipe I posted on the Australia/New Zealand forum. Here it is. 375g icing sugar, 1.5 tablespoons cocoa, 185g butter, 1.5 tablespoons water (hot works best), 5 drops vanilla. Cream butter and half the icing sugar. Add hot water, the rest of the icing and cocoa sifted together and the vanilla. Beat until smooth.

BROILER ICING

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, butter, and cream. Mix in coconut and chopped nuts.
