Ibarrachocolatecake Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease or spray bottom only of 13x9-inch pan. Make cake mix as directed on box--except add cinnamon to cake mix. Pour into pan.
• Bake as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• In 2-quart heavy saucepan, heat granulated sugar over medium-low heat 6 to 8 minutes, stirring constantly with wooden spoon and watching carefully, until sugar begins to melt. As sugar begins to melt, stir with wooden spoon until sugar is melted and golden brown. (Sugar becomes very hot and could melt a plastic spoon.) Remove from heat; carefully stir in butter and 1 tablespoon of the milk (mixture will become lumpy). Return to medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth. Cool 5 minutes.
• Add powdered sugar to caramel mixture; beat with electric mixer on low speed until well combined. Add 3 tablespoons milk, mixing until frosting is glossy and spreadable. If necessary, add up to 1 tablespoon more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time. Spread frosting over cake. Store loosely covered.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250-degrees F.
• Grease and flour two 10-inch springform pans or two 9-inch cake pans.
• Using an electric mixer, whip the egg whites in a small bowl until they form small peaks and then slowly add in the sugar, a little at a time, continue beating until egg whites are stiff and glossy (7-10 minutes) and then set aside.
• In the top of a double boiler over simmering water, melt the chocolate and butter, stirring constantly and then transfer mixture to a large bowl.
• Whisk juice into chocolate/butter mixture until combined.
• Whisk in liqueur.
• Whisk in vanilla.
• Fold egg whites into mixture, one quarter at a time using a rubber spatula.
• Pour batter into prepared pans.
• Bake for 1 1/2 hours or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
• Cool in pans before removing them.
• Remove from pans, frost and stack to make layer cakes or garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour an 8-inch springform pan.
• Place a large heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure the water doesn't touch the bowl. Put the butter and chocolate in the bowl, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate melts. Take the bowl off the heat and set aside.
• First, whisk the sugar into the chocolate mixture, then whisk in the eggs, coffee, and salt, whisking until the mixture is combined and smooth. Sprinkle on the flour and fold it in with a rubber spatula until it's incorporated.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and place it on a sheet pan. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes (see Cook's Note), until the top puffs up and cracks and the cake doesn't wobble when you jiggle the pan. (A toothpick will not come out clean.) Remove from the oven and cool completely on a baking rack. The cake will deflate as it cools. Run a small knife around the cake and remove the sides of the pan. Cut the cake in wedges and serve warm or at room temperature with sweetened whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or crème fraîche.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
• Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar, salt, cocoa powder, 3/4 cup water, and vegetable oil in a mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup water and beat for another 2 minutes.
• Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven until the surface of the cake springs back when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Warm the milk and chocolate in a saucepan.
• Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean and add the seeds and bean to the milk.
• Stir with a molinillo or whisk until the chocolate is melted and the mixture begins to boil.
• Remove from the heat and froth the chocolate with the molinillo or the whisk.
• Serve immediately in ample sized mugs.
• Topping With the Whipped Cream.
• A pinch of the ground cinnamon on the top of whipped cream.
