Chocolate Fudge Brownie Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix flour, white sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, and baking powder together in a bowl. Add milk, oil, and vanilla extract; mix thoroughly. Pour batter into an ungreased 9-inch baking pan. Sprinkle brown sugar and 1/4 cup cocoa powder on top. Pour hot water on top immediately before baking.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a cake layer forms on top and springs back when lightly pressed, 30 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a small saucepan, melt butter and chocolate over low heat. Cool slightly., In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar, vanilla and salt until blended. Stir in chocolate mixture. Add flour, mixing well. Stir in walnuts. , Spread into a greased 9-in. square baking pan. Bake 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs (do not overbake)., Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. If desired, dust with confectioners' sugar. Cut into bars.

Steps:

• Pre heat oven to 350 F or 175 C.
• Line 9 x 13 pan with parchment paper length and width wise so that they are perpendicular to each other. Be sure to make the parchment paper to overhang so the brownie can be lifted out of the pan. Brush the parchment paper with butter. If a glass pan is used the brownie cake must come out of the pan immediately as to not overcook.
• Melt the butter and sugar in a heavy sauce pan on very very low heat. Let the mixture slightly cool and transfer to a large bowl. Add eggs gradually, mixing well.
• Add vanilla. Sift dry ingredients together and add to egg mixture, stirring gently and minimally.
• Add Chips and nuts (nuts are optional).
• Pour into the prepared pan and bake approximately 35 minutes.
• Do Not Over Bake!
• Cool before cutting about 2 hours. Turn onto a surface and peel off parchment paper.
• The brownies can be ice with frosting, or just dust with powered sugar, or have them plain, enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease bottom of 13x9, glass baking dish.
• In a bowl using an electric mixer, blend the cake mix, eggs and melted ice cream low speed for 30 seconds.
• Scrape sides of bowl.
• Then mix on medium speed for 2 minutes more.
• Fold in chocolate chips.
• Pour into pre-greased dish.
• Bake for 35-45 minutes.
• Check with toothpick after 35 minutes.
• Cake is done when toothpick comes out clean.
• Cool in pan for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Flip on to wire rack and cool completely before frosting.

Steps:

• For the fudge icing:
• 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, minimum 70 percent cocoa solids
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 1 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• For the cake:
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and line the bottom of 2 (8-inch) cake pans.
• In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugars, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl or wide-necked measuring cup whisk together the eggs, sour cream and vanilla until blended. Using a standing or handheld electric mixer, beat together the melted butter and corn oil until just blended (you'll need another large bowl for this is using the hand mixer; the standing mixer comes with its own bowl), then beat in the water. Add the dry ingredients all at once and mix together on a slow speed. Add the egg mixture, and mix again until everything is blended and then pour into the prepared tins. And actually, you could easily do this manually; I just like my toys and find the stand mixer a comforting presence in itself.
• Bake the cakes for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a cake-tester comes out clean. Cool the cakes in their pans on a wire rack for 15 minutes, and then turn the cakes out on the rack to cool completely.
• For the icing:
• Melt the chocolate in the microwave - 2 to 3 minutes on medium should do it - or in a bowl sitting over a pan of simmering water, and let cool slightly.
• In another bowl beat the butter until it's soft and creamy (again, I use the stand mixer here) and then add the sifted confectioners' sugar and beat again until everything's light and fluffy. I know sifting is a pain, the 1 job in the kitchen I really hate, but you have to do it or the icing will be unsoothingly lumpy. Then gently add the vanilla and chocolate and mix together until everything is glossy and smooth.
• Sandwich the middle of the cake with about a quarter of the icing, and then ice the top and sides, too, spreading and smoothing with a rubber spatula.

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter three 8-inch round cake pans and dust them with cocoa powder.
• With an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar. Add in the eggs one by one until incorporated. Add the buttermilk and vanilla. Sift together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Stir the dry mixture into the wet mixture until incorporated.
• Divide the batter equally among the prepared pans and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool the cakes on a rack for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and cool completely on the rack.
• For the vanilla Italian buttercream: With an electric mixer, beat the egg whites and 3/4 cup of the sugar to stiff peaks. Heat the remaining sugar and 1 1/4 cups water to 240 degrees F in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Pour the boiling syrup into the egg whites, and beat until cooled to room temperature, 8 to 10 minutes. Cube the butter and add it to the bowl slowly. Mix until fluffy. Beat in the vanilla until incorporated.
• To assemble the cake, coat the top of 1 cake round with some of the buttercream. Stack the next cake round and coat with some buttercream; repeat until you have 3 layers. Then frost the sides with the remaining buttercream.

Steps:

• Prepare brownie mix according to package directions. Before baking, stir in 1 cup chocolate chips. When brownies are done, remove from oven and spread pecans, toffee and remaining 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips on tops. As chocolate melts, gently mix the topping together. Let brownies cool. Mix eggs, condensed milk, sugar, cream, half-and-half, salt and vanilla together. Refrigerate mix for several hours or overnight. In a small saucepan, mix 2 cups of the milk mix with the cocoa and heat through. In the top of a double boiler, melt the unsweetened chocolate. Very slowly stir in the heated cocoa and milk mixture until well mixed. Add to remaining milk mixture and refrigerate. Chop brownies into small pieces (1/4-inch) and put in the freezer. Put milk mixture in ice cream freezer and begin freezing. After 10 minutes add frozen brownie pieces and finish freezing.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a baking pan with cooking spray.
• In a small saucepan, combine the butter and chopped chocolate and set over very low heat until melted. Stir the mixture and set aside to cool. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Measure the sugar into the large bowl of an electric mixer and beat in the cooled butter-chocolate mixture. Add the egg plus whites, vanilla, and water and beat well. Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed just until blended. Don't overbeat. The batter will be thick. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 22 to 25 minutes; 23 minutes is usually right for me. When done, the top will look dry and a wooden pick inserted near the edge will come out with a few crumbs but the center will look slightly gooey. Cool in the pan and cut into squares.
• I have been trying for a couple of years to produce a brownie worthy of the name with less fat and less solid chocolate. My taste testers finally agree that this is it - a great brownie they would never suspect of being lower in anything. I have cut the classic 58 percent down to 31 percent calories from fat and eliminated 87 calories, 10 g fat, and 22 mg cholesterol from each brownie.
• When traditional proportions are disrupted, textures become moist and cakey at best or dry, insipid, and tough at worst. One rule emerges clearly: The fewer ingredients, the better the brownie. Avoid the usual low-fat stand-ins: applesauce, yogurt, corn syrup, canola oil. Use butter, but less, and replace most of the solid chocolate with rich-tasting Dutch-processed cocoa; retain at least 1 ounce of solid chocolate, however, for a more complex chocolate taste. A few tricks: Cake flour produced a more tender crumb than all-purpose, and melting the butter with the chocolate, as opposed to creaming the solid butter with the sugar, gave a fudgier crumb. A touch of baking powder seems to enhance the crunch of the top crust.
• Faced with the choice of adding high-fat chopped nuts or keeping the 1/4 cup butter, there was no contest; nuts put us over the top in fat content. However, if you feel deprived without them, sprinkle about 3 tablespoons of finely chopped walnuts on top before baking; the changes are modest: 33 percent calories from fat, plus 9 calories and 1g fat per brownie.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Grease and line a 20cm cake tin.
• Place the butter, caster sugar, brown sugar, chocolate and golden syrup in the pan and melt gently on a low heat until it is smooth and lump-free.

• Remove and allow to cool for 20-30 mins before cutting into wedges and serving.
• Serve with cream or ice cream and plenty of fresh fruit.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour a Bundt pan. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cake mix, brownie mix, eggs, oil, and water for 3 minutes on medium-high speed of mixer. Pour into prepared Bundt pan. Bake in center of oven for 40-50 minutes, or until center tests done with a wooden toothpick. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes then turn cake out onto the rack to cool completely. When cake is cool, microwave frosting for about 10 seconds on high setting, or just until drizzling consistency. Frost top of cake and garnish with chopped pecans or mini chocolate chips, if desired.
