Provided by Guy Fieri

Categories     dessert

Time 25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 cups canola oil, for frying
1 1/2 cups Mexican chocolate
3/4 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
3 medium eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven or countertop fryer using a high heat thermometer, bring the canola oil to 375 degrees F.
  • For the chocolate sauce: Bring a double broiler to a simmer over medium-low heat. Carefully melt the chocolate. Remove from the heat. With a wooden spoon or heat resistant spatula, stir in the heavy cream until the sauce is smooth. Set aside.
  • For the churros: Set a large saucepot over medium heat. Add 1 cup water, the butter, sugar and salt. Bring to 155 degrees F, then dump in the flour and stir with a wooden spoon to incorporate and remove lumps, about 1 minute.
  • Using the spoon, add the eggs into the batter one at a time, beating after each addition, until fully incorporated. Spoon the batter into a pastry bag fitted with a star tip and carefully pipe into the heated oil, forming 6-inch strips or free form shapes. Do not overcrowd the pot. Fry for 3 to 5 minutes, turning once as the underside browns. Remove with a spider or slotted spoon and drain on paper-towel-lined sheet tray or plate.
  • To finish: Working quickly, combine the sugar and cinnamon together in a large mixing bowl. Gently add the hot churros, tossing to coat. Serve with the chocolate dipping sauce.

½ cup brown sugar

¼ cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon McCormick® Ground Cinnamon
2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons McCormick® Ground Cinnamon
2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 ½ sticks unsalted butter, softened
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon McCormick® vanilla extract
3 large eggs
2 cups all purpose flour
⅔ cup whole wheat flour
1 ¾ cups sour cream
2 teaspoons ancho chile powder
¾ cup dark chocolate chips
½ cup heavy cream, hot
1 cup cajeta, dulce de leche
1 baking sheet, 9 x 13 x 2-inch (22 x 33 x 5 cm)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9 x 13 x 2-inch (22 x 33 x 5 cm) baking dish and line with parchment paper.
  • Make the topping: In a medium bowl, mix together the piloncillo, cornflakes, whole wheat flour, cinnamon, espresso powder, salt, and melted butter until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to assemble.
  • Make the filling: In a medium bowl, mix together the piloncillo, granulated sugar, cinnamon, espresso powder, and cocoa powder. Set aside.
  • Make the cake: In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, piloncillo, butter, baking powder, salt, and vanilla. Using an electric hand mixer, mix on low speed to combine, then increase the speed to medium and cream until soft and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating between each addition until fully incorporated.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the all-purpose and whole wheat flours.
  • Add half the flour to the wet ingredients and mix with the hand mixer until just incorporated. Add the sour cream and fold with a rubber spatula until combined, then add the remaining flour and mix until just combined.
  • Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth in an even layer. Sprinkle the filling evenly across the top. Pour in the remaining batter, spreading to cover the filling, then crumble the topping evenly on top.
  • Bake until the cake is puffed and firm, about 45 minutes. Let cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Make the chocolate drizzle: Add the ancho chile powder and chocolate to a small bowl and pour the hot cream on top. Let sit for 1 minute, then stir to melt and mix completely. Transfer to a squeeze bottle or plastic bag with a corner snipped off.
  • Drizzle the cake with the spiced chocolate sauce and cajeta, then slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!
