Dees Triple Chocolate Fudge Cake Recipes

Steps:

• CAKE: In a large mixer bowl, combine cake mix, coffee powder, eggs, water, sour cream and oil.
• Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
• Spread in two 9-inch round cake pans, greased and floured, dividing evenly.
• Bake 30 to 35 minutes.
• Cool 10 minutes in pans on a wire rack, then remove layers and cool completely.
• FILLING: Beat 1/2 cup butter, confectioner's sugar, cream, and unsweetend chocolate together on medium speed until light and fluffy.
• Add more confectiner's sugar or cream to make a soft, creamy spreading consistency.
• ASSEMBLY: Place 1 cake layer top-side down on a serving plate.
• Spread with a generous amount of filling.
• Place second cake layer on top.
• Spread remaining filling on sides of cake, leaving top unfrosted.
• Chill 30 minutes.
• GLAZE: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt semi-sweet chocolate and coffee, stirring until smooth.
• Remove from heat.
• Gradually add 3 tbsp butter, stirring until smooth.
• Spread over top of cake, letting it drip down sides.
• Chill to set chocolate glaze.

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:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Beat the eggs until light in color. Beat in the sugar until just combined. Add the cocoa, flour, melted butter and vanilla extract. Mix gently until well combined.
• Pour the batter into 4 large ramekins. Set the ramekins into a larger pan halfway full of water.
• Bake until the upper crust is crispy and the rest of the batter is firm but not set, 40 to 50 minutes. If you pull it out of the oven and have second thoughts, stick it back in for 10 more minutes.
• Serve with sweetened whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease and lightly flour bottom only of 13x9-inch pan.
• In small microwavable bowl, microwave condensed milk and 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips uncovered on Medium (50%) about 1 minute or until chocolate is softened; stir until smooth, and set aside.
• In large bowl, beat dry cake mix and oil with electric mixer on low speed about 15 seconds or until crumbly; reserve 3/4 cup. Add applesauce and eggs to remaining mixture; beat on low speed 30 seconds, scraping bowl occasionally (batter will be thick and grainy). Beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Spread batter in pan.
• Drop melted chocolate mixture by teaspoonfuls over batter, dropping more around edge than in center. Stir remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips and the pecans into reserved cake mixture; crumble over batter.
• Bake 37 to 43 minutes or until center is set. Run knife around sides of pan to loosen cake. Cool completely, about 2 hours. Store covered.

Steps:

• Cake.
• PREHEAT oven to 350°F Microwave chocolate, 1/2 cup of the sugar and the water in large bowl on HIGH 2 minute or until chocolate is almost melted, stirring after 1 minute

• Beat butter and remaining 1-1/4 cups sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.

• Pour into 2 greased and floured 9-inch round cake pans.BAKE 30 to 35 minute or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean.
• Cool in pans 10 min.; remove from pans to wire racks. Cool completely.
• Ganache:.
• Bring cream to a boil. Add in corn syrup and salt. Turn off heat, add chocolate in and stir till melted and smooth.
• Let cool till its the right consistency to frost.
• Take half the ganache and whip it till it turns light and thick.
• Place one cake layer down. Top with whipped ganache (save some ganache, dont use all of it). Top with 2nd cake layer and crumb coat the whole cake with a thin layer of whipped ganache. Place in fridge to set.
• After it is set, pour the other half of the ganache (unwhipped ganache) over the cake and let set inthe fridge.
• I suggest you remove the cake from the fridge about 30 minutes before serving or you are going to have a hard time cutting it and eating it.

Steps:

• Line two 13x9-in. pans with foil and grease the foil with 4 teaspoons butter. In a heavy Dutch oven, combine sugar, milk, salt and the remaining butter.
