No Bake Chocolate Oat Bars in Chocolate Cake Recipes,I baked about 100 dozen cookies for the holidays and these were everyone's favorite!! ENJOY!!!
No Bake Chocolate Oat Bars
Chocolate Dump-It Cake in Chocolate Cake Recipes,A couple of years ago, my mother taught me to make her dense but moist chocolate birthday cake. She calls it 'dump-it cake' because you mix all of the ingredients in a pot over medium heat, then dumps the batter into a cake pan to bake. For the icing, you melt Nestlé's semisweet-chocolate chips and swirl them together with sour cream. It sounds as if it's straight from the Pillsbury Bake-Off, but it tastes as if it's straight from Payard. Everyone loves it.
Chocolate Dump-It Cake
Mint Chocolate Chip Layer Cake in Chocolate Cake Recipes,This Mint Chocolate Chip Layer Cake is a mint lover's dream come true! Chocolate cake layers with chunks of Andes mints and mini chocolate chips, plus a silky-smooth mint buttercream with lots of flecks of mint chocolate chips. In this season of Thin Mints and green everything, I think you need this Mint Chocolate Chip Layer Cake in your life. It'll make you say “Thin Mint who?”
Mint Chocolate Chip Layer Cake
Chocolate Raspberry Mousse Cake in Chocolate Cake Recipes,This stunning Chocolate Raspberry Mousse Cake has a moist, fudgy brownie base, three layers of light mousse—chocolate, raspberry, and vanilla, and then a glossy topping of chocolate and a tangle of raspberries and chocolate curls on top. Perfect for any occasion! If you can’t find quality fresh raspberries, you can use frozen to make the puree, and just omit the fresh berries in the mousse layer and on top. You could also substitute strawberries instead.
Chocolate Raspberry Mousse Cake
White Chocolate Lemon Curd Crepe Cake in Chocolate Cake Recipes,This White Chocolate Lemon Curd Crepe Cake is filled with some of the best flavours and I don’t know about you, but to me, it just screams spring! I know we’re not there yet (although lately it’s felt pretty spring-like out there!) and I’m definitely not wishing time away. But I won’t lie, I really am excited about spring. For vibrant colours and fresh flavours and most importantly – more hours of daylight.
White Chocolate Lemon Curd Crepe Cake
Chocolate Strawberry Cake in Chocolate Cake Recipes,Sweet cake with chocolate icing or chocolate sauce, and then enjoy the chocolate cake alone or share with family and friends, regardless of the taste of the chocolate cake is irresistible. Here you will see a variety of ways to make chocolate, I believe there is always the one you like, of course, each flavor will not let you down!
Chocolate Strawberry Cake
Chocolate Cupcakes in Chocolate Cake Recipes,Here is a homemade take on the Hostess Cupcake, the sweet, well-preserved treat that was lost, for a while, to the wilds of bankruptcy. They take a little time to make but are well worth it. (Don’t skimp on the Marshmallow Fluff!) Wrapping the finished items individually in cellophane allow eaters to experience the twinkly crinkle of childhood afternoons spent carefully removing the chocolate frosting from the cupcake’s top. But these are decidedly not the original. Whatever you do, make sure they’re stored in something airtight. They will dry out quickly.
Chocolate Cupcakes
Chocolate Caramel Cake in Chocolate Cake Recipes,It is hard to believe in this day and age – when salted caramel ice cream is almost as ubiquitous as vanilla – that desserts in which salt plays a starring role was once a newfangled concept. Layers of silky caramel and dark chocolate ganache topped with a sprinkling of crunchy, snow-white fleur de sel make this an unforgettable combination of flavors and textures.
Chocolate Caramel Cake
Chocolate-Pumpkin Layer Cake in Chocolate Cake Recipes,This rich and decadent spiced pumpkin cake is just the thing to serve for an autumn celebration, Thanksgiving or otherwise. Chocolate chips and chopped pecans are added to the pumpkin batter for extra sweetness and a bit of welcome crunch. For those who like to plan ahead, it can be made and frozen – iced and all. Just put the entire finished cake on a plate or a baking sheet, unwrapped, and freeze it overnight until it is hard. Then it can be wrapped without damage to the frosting, and returned to the freezer. Layers can also be wrapped well and stored, to be iced later.
Chocolate-Pumpkin Layer Cake
Maida Heatter's Chocolate Cheesecake Brownies in Chocolate Cake Recipes,The year: 1983. The place: Williamsburg, Va., where representatives from across the globe — and “some of the biggest and brightest names on the American culinary scene” — gathered. The Times’s own Craig Claiborne planned the menus; Paul Prudhomme, Wolfgang Puck and Zarela Martinez cooked; and Maida Heatter provided dessert. Among her offerings were these, chocolate cheesecake brownies, “a formidable new creation” for the time. Here, a layer of pecan-studded brownie meets a sheet of chocolate cheesecake. Make them for a group — or for yourself to eat over time. They freeze well, and can just as well be served frozen.

Chocolate Cupcakes in Chocolate Cake Recipes,Right or wrong I’ve always viewed the cupcake as a frosting transport system, and if you’re not a huge frosting fan (I’m not), then I figured, why bother? Then I remembered a friend had mentioned a recipe from Maida Heatter that was, in her words, a “grown-up cupcake.” I figured perhaps I owed the miniature confections a chance. Ms. Heatter’s recipe, modestly entitled, “Chocolate Cupcakes” from her 1974 book “Maida Heatter’s Book of Great Desserts,” produced a rich, moist crumb that relies on cocoa powder for its deep chocolatey flavor. But it’s her topping of semi-sweet chocolate ganache that separates these cupcakes from the crowd. No buttercream, no food coloring, and no diabetic shock after consumption. Just a really nice chocolate cake that’s a bit on the small side.

Minty Chocolate Holiday Cake Bites in Chocolate Cake Recipes,Minty Chocolate Cake Bites! Incredibly easy and perfect for the holidays. It’s made with ZERO artificial colors or flavors and ZERO high fructose corn syrup. Boom. Fudgy, sparkly, minty if you want them to be, perfectly stored in the fridge for an after-dinner bite-sized dessert or five…

Slutty Brownie Cake in Chocolate Cake Recipes,I took my favorite layer cake recipe (the one we used for my birthday cake a few months back) and divided it into 3 bowls and then flavored each bowl to be reminiscent of slutty brownies. That means one cake layer tastes like chocolate chip cookies, one with chocolate cookies and one like a brownie. It’s basically heaven on earth and it’s seriously a show stopper.
Slutty Brownie Cake
Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake in Chocolate Cake Recipes,The cake starts with moist, delicious layers of chocolate cake. I used my Easy Moist Chocolate Cake from a couple of weeks ago in layered cake form. It truly is such a moist cake and so easy! You basically mix the dry ingredients, then wet ingredients, add them together, then add the hot water at the end. One of the quickest cake batters to make and hard to mess up. It is made with layers of moist chocolate cake, peanut butter frosting, and chopped chocolate peanut butter cups! It’s rich, delicious and so fun!
Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake
Choc-cherry Layer Cake in Chocolate Cake Recipes,If you love chocolate-covered cherries, this festive layer cake is just for you. It's a bright and fruity twist on an otherwise classic chocolate cake. The flavor of the cake itself depends on the block dark chocolate. It's super easy and definitely delicious. Sweeten up your life in no time with this quick and easy treat.
Choc-cherry Layer Cake
Dark Chocolate Cake in Chocolate Cake Recipes,It takes just 15 minutes to prep this perfect-for-entertaining chocolate cake with rich, made-from-scratch flavor - with a hint of orange! This cake is moist and has the perfect crumb. I cannot imagine making a chocolate cake using any other recipe. It is so easy to make and puts doctored cake mix recipes to shame. I’m eating a piece of the cake as I’m writing this, drooling all over my keyboard. It is insanely delicious. A decades search was worth the wait. Every…decadent…bite. Who wants cake?
Dark Chocolate Cake
No Bake Chocolate Pecan Pie in Chocolate Cake Recipes,A twist on the classic Thanksgiving dessert, this no-bake chocolate pecan pie features three layers of chocolate goodness and a very generous amount of pecan pie filling. Everyone will rave about it! The thing about Thanksgiving desserts is that they need to be made in advance. You can’t bake your pumpkin pie or the cheesecake on Thanksgiving morning. There’s not enough room in the oven! Unless you have 3 or 4 ovens and in that case, I’m not talking with you anymore. The beauty of this no-bake chocolate pecan pie is that it requires no oven space. And it can be made up to a week or two in advance! How amazing is that? One less thing to stress about.
