Super Moist Chocolate Cake With Chocolate Cinnamon Topping Food

SUPER MOIST CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Mix together dry ingredients.
• Combine wet ingredients in a separate bowl.
• Combine dry and wet ingredients together (I gently whisk them together with a fork).
• Transfer mixture to a greased cake pan or cupcake tins. (Mixture usually fits one 13" x 9" pan or two 8" or 9" round pans.).
• Bake at 350 degrees F for approximately 30 minutes. (Bake for approximately 15 minutes if making cupcakes).
• Set aside to cool before frosting.
• To begin the Chocolate Cocoa Frosting beat powdered sugar and butter until blended. (If using an electric mixer, use low speed).
• Stir in vanilla extract and cocoa powder.
• Gradually beat in just enough milk to make frosting smooth and spreadable. If frosting becomes too thin, add more powdered sugar.

BEST MOIST CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan. Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing just until incorporated. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.

SUPER MOIST CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
• Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each melting, about 1 minute. Let cool.
• Combine sugar and egg in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until light and airy, about 3 minutes. Add melted chocolate, flour, milk, cocoa powder, sour cream, and vegetable oil; beat until batter is smooth and well blended.
• Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.

CHOCOLATE CHIP CRUMB CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F with a rack in the top third of the oven.
• Butter the bottom of a 9X9 baking pan then cut a piece of parchment so that its width fits in the bottom. Butter the parchment then lay it into the buttered bottom (butter side up) with the sides folding up and over each edge. These will act as handles to remove the baked cake. Butter the two remaining exposed sides of the pan.
• Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream butter for one minute until creamy.
• Add sugar and cream for two minutes. Batter at this point will be crumbly.
• With mixer running on low, add in one egg at a time, scraping the sides between additions.
• Scrape again and mix until batter is combined with no lumps.
• Add vanilla and mix.
• Alternate adding sour cream and the flour mixing after each addition just until combined.
• Scrape the sides of the bowl and mix once again - just enough to combine.
• Remove from mixer and fold in the chocolate chips with a rubber spatula then scrape the batter into the prepared pan.
• In a medium bowl, mix all of the topping ingredients and then crumble bits of it over the top of the batter. After mixing, the topping is not the usual topping texture. It is wet and stiff and when you crumble it over the top, it will not cover all of the batter. This is by design. As the cake bakes, the batter pokes through the parts that have no topping, giving a marble affect.
• Bake for 35 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Let cool on a rack completely.
• If using powdered sugar, dust the top of the cake with a sifter.
• Loosen up the sides without parchment by running a knife along the edge, then lift the entire cake out using the parchment handles and cut 3X3 into nine squares.
• Serve immediately.
• Refrigerate leftovers.

CHOCOLATE CHIP CRUMB CAKE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin liners (the foil ones are my favorite, but any will do).

SUPER MOIST CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners. Line a second pan with 2 liners - this recipe makes about 14 cupcakes. Set aside.
• Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla together until combined. Pour half of the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Then half of the buttermilk. Gently whisk for a few seconds. Repeat with the remaining wet ingredients and buttermilk. Stir until *just* combined; do not overmix. The batter will be thin.
• Pour or spoon the batter into the liners. Fill only halfway (this is imperative! only halfway!) to avoid spilling over the sides or sinking.
• Bake for 18-21 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before frosting. I usually let them cool in the pan.
• Frost cooled cupcakes however you'd like. I used chocolate buttercream and Wilton 1M piping tip for these pictured cupcakes. Top with sprinkles, if desired. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Make cake mix according to package directions and bake in a well-greased 9×13 pan according to package.

• Pour the sweetened condensed milk and 3/4 of the chocolate sauce over the top of the cake and allow it to seep into the holes that were poked into the cake.
• Cover and refrigerate the cake overnight.
• Place the heavy whipping cream, cocoa powder and powder sugar in a mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer for 4-5 minutes until stiff peaks form in the mixture and it holds it shape.
• Spread the chocolate topping over the cake. Drizzle the top with the remaining chocolate sauce. Then sprinkle with the chopped chocolate.
• Serve immediately and refrigerate leftovers.
• Enjoy!
