Super Rich Chocolate Cake w/ Chocolate Frosting recipes

http://ift.tt/29cf7V4

  • Ingredients
  • Frosting*
  • 1 C Unsweetened Cocoa
  • 1 LB Unsalted Butter
  • 4 C Powdered Sugar
  • Chocolate Cake
  • 3 C Flour
  • 1/2 C Cocoa
  • 2 C Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 Tsp Baking Soda
  • 2 tsp Vanilla
  • 1 Cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1 C Water
  • Instructions
  • Frosting
  • First, melt the butter and then add it to a bowl with the cocoa.
  • Mix well.
  • One cup at a time add the powdered sugar.
  • Once all the powdered sugar is incorporated you will notice that the icing may look grainy and loose. This is because the butter is cooling and trying to separate.
  • At this point you can do two things. If you have a stand mixer use the paddle attachment and mix the icing on med speed for about 10 minutes. This will help the frosting cool down and everything will incorporate into a nice smooth frosting.
  • If you only have a hand mixer, like me, place your bowl into the refrigerator. Around 5 minutes stir the frosting with a spatula; you will see it start to come together. Place back in the refrigerator for another 3 to 5 minutes. Once it has cooled in the fridge take it out and whip it for about 1 minute and it will be ready to go.
  • Cake
  • Separate the wet and dry ingredients into two different bowls
  • Mix the wet ingredients with a whisk then slowly add the dry ingredients
  • If you are using a mixer blend on a slow speed
  • Once batter is thoroughly incorporated divide evenly and pour into two 9" pans that are greased with non-stick release spray and dusted with flour
  • Bake at 350° for 22-25 minutes
  • Once cakes have cooled completely cut layers in half and put icing in between all layers
  • I made this a 3 layer cake but you can make it a 4 layer cake if you want
  • Ice the outside of cake with a thin layer of icing first and place in refrigerator for about 20 minutes to set the crumbs
  • Then ice the cake with a finishing layer of icing
