CHOCOLATE PUDDING CAKE I



Chocolate Pudding Cake I image

This is a very quick and simple no bake dessert cake. I've been making it for years without a written recipe. I have also tried it with different flavors such as Coconut/Pineapple. This recipe lends itself well to experimentation. Note: If desired, chopped nuts may be added to the pudding before spreading over cake, or may be sprinkled over the top of the pudding before adding the whipped topping layer.

CHOCOLATE PUDDING CAKE



Chocolate Pudding Cake image

Starring chocolate and made with just six ingredients, this flourless cake has a pudding-like center. A water bath helps it cook gently and stay moist.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 6

Butter, room temperature, for baking dish
1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus more for baking dish
6 large eggs, room temperature, separated
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted
1/2 teaspoon salt
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and set a kettle of water to boil. Butter a shallow 2-quart baking dish; coat with granulated sugar, tapping out excess.
  • In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks with granulated sugar until lightened in color. Whisk in melted chocolate; set aside.
  • In a large, clean bowl, using an electric mixer on high, beat egg whites with salt until soft peaks form. Whisk 1/3 of whites into chocolate mixture. Add remaining whites, and gently fold with a rubber spatula just until combined (do not overmix).
  • Transfer batter to prepared baking dish. Set dish in a roasting pan, and pour enough boiling water into pan to come about 1 inch up side of dish. Bake until puffed and just set (center of cake should barely move when jiggled), 25 to 35 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes; dust with confectioners' sugar just before serving.

CHOCOLATE-AND-VANILLA PUDDING CAKE



Chocolate-and-Vanilla Pudding Cake image

An old-fashioned layer cake conjures a winter wonderland when topped with white-chocolate buttercream as pale and thick as a fresh snowbank. Despite its black-tie formal appearance, this is a very pragmatic dessert because it's even better when you make it in advance: The milk-chocolate pudding in the middle and the icing have plenty of time to set, so the flavors intensify.

Provided by Greg Lofts

Categories     Cake Recipes

Time 4h20m

Yield Serves 12 to 16

Number Of Ingredients 26

Unsalted butter, softened, for pan
3/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder, plus more for pan
1 2/3 cups cake flour (not self-rising)
1 1/3 cups sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal)
2 large eggs, room temperature
3/4 cup buttermilk, room temperature
3/4 cup hot tap water
2 teaspoons pure vanilla paste or extract
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon Dutch-process cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups whole milk
2 large egg yolks (whites reserved for frosting)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla paste or extract
4 ounces milk chocolate, coarsely chopped (2/3 cup)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 large egg whites
3/4 cup sugar
Pinch of kosher salt
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons, softened
3 ounces white chocolate, chopped (1/2 cup), melted, and cooled

Steps:

  • For the Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush the bottom and sides of a 9-by-3-inch round springform pan with butter; line bottom with a parchment round and brush with butter. Dust parchment and sides of pan with cocoa, tapping out excess.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together cocoa, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to thoroughly combine. Whisk in eggs, buttermilk, hot water, vanilla, and oil. Transfer batter to prepared pan.
  • Bake until top springs back when lightly pressed, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool 20 minutes. Unlatch and remove side of pan; invert cake onto rack, remove parchment, and let cool completely.
  • For the Filling: In a saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, cocoa, and salt. Whisk in milk and egg yolks. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking constantly; boil 1 minute. Remove from heat; whisk in vanilla, chocolate, and butter until melted and smooth. Transfer to a heatproof bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto surface of pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Let cool about 10 minutes.
  • For Assembly: Meanwhile, trim top of cake flat with a serrated knife, then cut horizontally into two even layers. Wash and dry springform pan, return side of pan to latched position, and line bottom with a fresh parchment round. Transfer bottom cake layer, split side up, to prepared pan.
  • Pour filling into pan, spreading to edges of cake in an even layer with an offset spatula. Transfer top layer of cake to pan (top side up), loosely cover, and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
  • For the Frosting: Combine egg whites, sugar, and salt in the heatproof bowl of a mixer set over (but not in) a pan of simmering water. Heat, whisking, until mixture is hot to the touch and sugar has dissolved (it should feel smooth when rubbed between your fingers).
  • Transfer bowl to mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium speed 5 minutes. Increase speed to medium-high and continue beating until stiff peaks form and mixture is glossy and cooled, 5 to 6 minutes more. Reduce speed to medium; beat in butter, 1 tablespoon at a time. Beat in white chocolate until thick and smooth (if frosting seems thin, it was too warm when butter and chocolate were added; refrigerate until cool and beat again before using).
  • Unlatch and remove side of pan from chilled cake. Use an offset spatula to smooth any filling protruding from middle along side of cake. Line the edges of a cake plate or stand with strips of parchment.
  • Transfer cake to plate or stand. Spoon frosting onto top of cake and spread evenly over top and sides with an offset spatula. Discard parchment strips and refrigerate cake until icing is set, at least 20 minutes or, loosely covered, up to 3 days. Slice and serve.

NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE PUDDING CAKE RECIPE BY TASTY



No-Bake Chocolate Pudding Cake Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: chocolate hazelnut spread, graham crackers, instant chocolate pudding, milk, cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, chocolate, chocolate frosting, raspberry, graham cracker crumb, chocolate shaving

Provided by Pierce Abernathy

Categories     Desserts

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ½ cups chocolate hazelnut spread, warmed
24 graham crackers, halved
2 packets instant chocolate pudding
4 cups milk
8 oz cream cheese
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ cup chocolate, melted
2 cups chocolate frosting
raspberry, for garnish
graham cracker crumb, for garnish
chocolate shaving, for garnish

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and grease with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Spread the chocolate hazelnut spread into an even rectangle, leaving ¼ inch (6 mm) between each cracker.
  • Place 20 graham cracker halves on top of chocolate hazelnut mixture and freeze until solid, about 30 minutes.
  • Cut between the graham cracker pieces with a knife. Lay a cutting board on top of the graham crackers and invert the baking sheet.
  • Carefully peel the parchment paper from the chocolate hazelnut layer. Return to freezer until ready to build cake.
  • In a large bowl, combine the instant pudding and milk, and whisk until fully incorporated. Allow to set for at least five minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla, and mix until fully incorporated.
  • Fold in the melted chocolate until fully incorporated.
  • Add the cream cheese mixture to the pudding mixture and stir until fully combined.
  • Add three quarters of the pudding mixture to the bottom of a 10-inch (25-cm) greased springform pan.
  • Make a ring along the edge of the pan with the chocolate hazelnut graham crackers pressing them until they are even with the top of the pan.
  • Leave a ¼ to ½-inch (2 to 6-cm) gap and make another ring using plain graham cracker pieces. Repeat, alternating between chocolate hazelnut and plain graham crackers, until you reach the center.
  • Fill the pan with the remaining pudding mixture and spread evenly across the top.
  • Freeze the cake for at least 4 hours.
  • Release the chilled cake from the pan and frost with chocolate frosting.
  • Garnish with raspberries, crushed graham crackers, and chocolate shavings.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly affect the taste of your cake. Look for chocolate that is at least 60% cacao and has a smooth, velvety texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature. The cake should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If the oven is too hot, the cake will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked. If the oven is too cool, the cake will take too long to bake and will be dry.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cake to set properly.
  • Serve the cake with your favorite toppings. Chocolate pudding cake is delicious on its own, but it can also be served with whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh fruit.

Conclusion:

Chocolate pudding cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its rich chocolate flavor and creamy pudding filling, chocolate pudding cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
