Dark Chocolate Cake With Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees (350 degrees if not using non-stick or glass pans).
• Coat the bottom of two round cake pans with parchment paper, nonstick spray or butter.
• Combine cake mix, eggs, egg yolks, sour cream, cocoa and water in a large bowl and mix for 1 minute; add melted butter and mix for an additional minute.
• Divide the batter between the two prepared pans, and bake approximately 30 minutes.
• Test for doneness, then flip cakes onto a cooling rack and allow to cool completely.
• When cakes are cool, combine the frosting, cream cheese and vanilla in a large bowl; whip on high for 4 minutes, until almost doubled in volume.
• Frost cakes; top with chocolate curls or grated chocolate if desired.
• Refrigerate for at least one hour, if possible, before serving; store covered cake in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch pan.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the eggs, coffee, milk, oil and vinegar. Mix until smooth; the batter will be thin. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth.
• Add powdered sugar, cocoa, salt, milk or whipping cream, and vanilla.
• Mix well.
• Spread over the cake or cupcakes.
• Store in the refrigerator.
