Triplechocolatemochacake Recipes

Steps:

• Position racks in the middle and lower third of the oven; preheat to 325 degrees F. Butter the bottom and side of a 9-inch springform pan; wrap the outside of the pan with foil to catch any drips.
• Make the crust: Melt the butter and semisweet chocolate in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring; let cool slightly. Stir in the sugar and eggs until combined. Stir in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt until smooth and shiny. Spread in the prepared pan and bake until the top is set and no longer shiny, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool.
• Fill a shallow baking dish halfway with water and set on the lower oven rack. Make the filling: Combine the milk chocolate and 1/2 cup heavy cream in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until melted and smooth; set aside. Beat the cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the eggs, one at a time, until just combined. Beat in the remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream and the vanilla. Add the melted chocolate mixture in two batches, beating until just combined. Stir a few times with a rubber spatula to make sure the chocolate is fully incorporated.
• Pour the filling over the crust. Bake on the middle oven rack (directly over the baking dish of water) until the cheesecake is puffed and the edge is set, about 1 hour 15 minutes. (The center will still be very jiggly.) Transfer to a rack and let cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold and set, at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Remove the cheesecake from the refrigerator about 1 hour before serving. Run a thin knife or offset spatula around the edge of the pan and remove the springform ring. Grate half of the white chocolate over the cheesecake, then use a vegetable peeler to shave the rest on top. Run a knife under hot water and dry well before slicing.

Steps:

• Butter 2 8" cake pans or muffin pans, etc, and coat evenly with cocoa powder (I began using my new silicone pans with this recipe and did not need to pre-treat my pans with butter or cocoa).
• In large bowl mix together well first 8 ingredients with a wire whisk.
• Add eggs, chocolate milk, hot fudge topping, butter and vanilla; beat on medium for 2 minutes.
• In a small bowl, mix together hot water and instant espresso, stirring well to dissolve.
• Add espresso carefully to cake mix and beat until mixed well, batter will seem thin.
• Pour evenly into the prepared pans.
• Bake in pre-heated oven at 350º for about 40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean; it's a dense cake and won't rise as high as you might expect.
• Cool in pans 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
• Frost or dust with powdered sugar as desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
• Grease and line a large cake tin (round or square) with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Combine the plain and milk chocolate and butter in a pan, and melt over a low flame, beating until smooth and well combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
• In a bowl, beat together the eggs, sugar and vanilla.
• Whisk the egg mixture into the cooled chocolate mixture.
• Then add the chopped white chocolate, flour and salt.
• Pour the entire mixture into the prepared tin. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is crisp and pale, and the center is almost set. The baking time will be much longer if you use a smaller pan.

Steps:

• Combine the chocolate chips, chocolate hazelnut spread, cocoa nibs and salt in a blender.
• Heat the almond milk until just about to simmer in a small saucepan. Pour the hot milk over the chocolate in the blender and allow it to sit for 30 seconds. Remove the middle section of the lid to allow steam to escape and hold a folded towel over the top of the lid, then begin blending the hot mixture on low speed, increasing the speed to high once it gets going. (Be careful not to go too high too quickly to prevent splattering.) Blend on high for 30 seconds. Pour into 4 mugs and serve.

Steps:

• Let eggs stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in coffee and vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk. In another bowl , beat egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form; fold into batter., Pour into three greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely., For frosting, combine confectioners' sugar and cocoa. In another large bowl, cream butter and sugar mixture. Beat in coffee and vanilla. Spread between layers and over top and sides of cake.

Steps:

• Combine brown sugar, butter, white sugar, and salt in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until a creamy, deep brown mixture forms. Add egg and vanilla; beat until mixture lightens and becomes smooth, 10 to 15 seconds.
• Mix flour and baking soda together in a separate bowl. Add slowly to the wet ingredients until mostly incorporated, but some white traces of flour remain. Fold in milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and white chocolate using a spatula, not the mixer. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 48 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) when ready to bake.
• Divide cold dough into 2 1/4-ounce portions and place on a cookie sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the edges start to look golden brown and crispy, 10 to 12 minutes. Do not overbake; the centers will not look fully done. Cool until cookies are set, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Make cake:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter three 8-inch-diameter cake pans with 1 1/2-inch-high sides. Line bottom of and with parchment paper. Stir buttermilk, espresso power and vanilla in small bowl until powder dissolves.
• Sift sugar and next 5 ingredients into large bowl. Add eggs and butter; beat until mixture is thick and smooth, about 1 1/2 minutes. Add buttermilk mixture; beat until light and fluffy,about 1 1/2 minutes linger. Divide batter among pans.
• Bake cakes until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool cakes in pans on racks 5 minutes. Turn cake out onto racks. Peel off parchment; cool completely.
• Make fillings and frosting:
• Place white chocolate and milk chocolate in separate medium bowls. Bring 1 cup cream to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Pour 3 tablespoons hot cream into white chocolate and 3 tablespoons hot cream into milk chocolate. Add bittersweet chocolate to remaining cream in saucepan; stir until smooth. Stir white chocolate and milk chocolate fillings until smooth; chill until cold but not firm, about 15 minutes. Set aside bittersweet chocolate frosting.
• Place 1 cake layer on platter. Using handheld mixer, beat white chocolate filling until slightly stiff. Spread over cake layer. Top with second cake layer. Add remaining 1 tablespoon cream to milk chocolate filling and beat until smooth. Spread over second cake layer. Top with third cake layer. Chill cake until bittersweet chocolate frosting is firm enough to spread, about 30 minutes.
• Stir frosting until smooth. Spread very thin layer over top and sides of cake to smooth surface and anchor crumbs. Chill 30 minutes. Spread remaining frosting decoratively over cake. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover with cake dome and chill.)
• Garnish cake with chocolate shavings, if desired,and serve.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine cake and pudding mixes, milk and eggs at low speed until dry ingredients are moistened. Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. tube or fluted tube pan. Bake at 350° for 60 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.

Steps:

• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Stir chopped chocolate in top of double boiler set over simmering water until melted and smooth; remove from over water. Cool melted chocolate 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat sugar and butter in another medium bowl until crumbly. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue to beat until mixture is light, pale, and creamy, about 5 minutes. Add lukewarm melted chocolate and vanilla and beat just until blended. Fold in dry ingredients, then chocolate chips.
• Drop chocolate cookie batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake cookies, 1 baking sheet at a time, until tops are evenly cracked but cookies are not yet firm to touch, about 16 minutes. Cool cookies completely on baking sheets. Using metal spatula, carefully transfer 4 cookies to each of 4 large resealable plastic bags, arranging in single layer. Freeze cookies overnight. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Keep frozen.)
