INSIDE OUT GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Inside out German Chocolate Cake Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by carvalhohm

Number Of Ingredients 2

I box German Chocolate cake mix (may use regular chocolate cake mix)
I can ready-to-spread coconut almond frosting

Steps:

  • Prepare the cake mix batter as directed on the box; before pouring into the cake pan, fold the can of frosting into the cake mix batter by hand and then bake according to time on box...I find I may need a few more minutes. The frosting will bake into the cake giving it a wonderful, moist, taste! I put a little powdered sugar on top after it cools but it requires no other frosting...easy to pack in lunches since the gooey frosting is not on top.

Categories     Cake     Milk/Cream     Chocolate     Egg     Dessert     Bake     Coconut     Pecan     Gourmet     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 12 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 25

For cake layers
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup whole milk
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
3/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
3/4 cup boiling-hot water
For filling
7 ounces sweetened flaked coconut
4 ounces coarsely chopped pecans (1 cup)
14-ounces can sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon vanilla
For glaze
2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
10 ounces fine-quality semisweet chocolate
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
Special Equipment
3 (9-inch) round cake pans

Steps:

  • Make cake layers:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F and oil cake pans. Line bottoms of pans with rounds of parchment or wax paper. Sift together sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl. Whisk together whole milk, butter, whole egg, yolk, vanilla, and almond extract in another large bowl until just combined. Beat egg mixture into flour mixture with an electric mixer on low speed, then beat on high speed 1 minute. Reduce speed to low and beat in water until just combined (batter will be thin). Divide batter among cake pans (about 1 1/2 cups per pan) and bake in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of pans and rotating them 180 degrees halfway through baking, until a tester comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes total.
  • Cool layers in pans on racks 15 minutes. Run a thin knife around edges of pans and invert layers onto racks. Carefully remove parchment or wax paper and cool layers completely.
  • Make filling:
  • Reduce oven temperature to 325°F.
  • Spread coconut in a large shallow baking pan and pecans in another. Bake pecans in upper third of oven and coconut in lower third, stirring occasionally, until golden, 12 to 18 minutes. Remove pans from oven.
  • Increase oven temperature to 425°F.
  • Pour condensed milk into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate and cover tightly with foil. Bake milk in a water bath in middle of oven 45 minutes. Refill baking pan with water to reach halfway up pie plate and bake milk until thick and brown, about 45 minutes more. Remove pie plate from water bath.
  • Stir in coconut, pecans, and vanilla and keep warm, covered with foil.
  • Make glaze while milk is baking:
  • Melt butter in a 3-quart saucepan. Remove pan from heat and add chocolate and corn syrup, whisking until chocolate is melted. Transfer 1 cup glaze to a bowl, reserving remaining glaze at room temperature in pan. Chill glaze in bowl, stirring occasionally, until thickened and spreadable, about 1 hour.
  • Assemble cake:
  • Put 1 cake layer on a rack set over a baking pan (to catch excess glaze). Drop half of coconut filling by spoonfuls evenly over layer and gently spread with a wet spatula. Top with another cake layer and spread with remaining filling in same manner. Top with remaining cake layer and spread chilled glaze evenly over top and side of cake. Heat reserved glaze in pan over low heat, stirring, until glossy and pourable, about 1 minute. Pour glaze evenly over top of cake, making sure it coats sides. Shake rack gently to smooth glaze.
  • Chill cake until firm, about 1 hour. Transfer cake to a plate.

PINEAPPLE INSIDE-OUT CAKE



Pineapple Inside-Out Cake image

A twist on the usual, ordinary upside down pineapple cake! Recipe from my favorite cookbook, The Cake Mix Doctor...

Provided by Gale Medeiros-Costa

Categories     Cakes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 inch tube pan
solid vegetable shortening for greasing the pan
flour for dusting the pan
1 pkg (18.25 oz) plain lemon cake mix
1 can(s) (15.25 oz) crushed pineapple packed in juice divided into two 1- cup portions **see footnote**
1/4 c granulated sugar
1/2 c vegetable oil (canola, corn, safflower, etc)
4 large eggs
1 c confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • 1. Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease tube pan with solid vegetable shortening, then dust with flour. Shake out excess flour. Set the pan aside.
  • 2. Place the cake mix, *1 cup (1 1/3 cup) undrained crushed pineapple, sugar, oil, and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes more, scraping down the sides as needed. The pineapple should be well blended into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with the rubber spatula. Place in the oven.
  • 3. Bake the cake until it springs back when lightly pressed with your finger and just starts to pull away from the sides of the pan, 48 to 50 minutes.
  • 4. Remove the pan from the oven and place the pan on a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes. Run a long, sharp knife around the edge of the cake and invert it onto a rack, then invert onto another rack so that the cake is right side up. Allow it to cool completely. 30 minutes or more.
  • 5. Meanwhile, prepare the glaze. First drain the remaining *1 cup (will be less if you used 1 1/3 for the batter) of crushed pineapple and reserve the juice. Combine the sifted confectioner's sugar, 2 T. of the reserved pineapple juice, and the lemon juice in a small bowl and stir with a wooden spoon until smooth.
  • 6. Place the cake on a serving platter. Spoon the glaze onto the cooled cake. Spoon the remaining 1 cup (or less) drained pineapple on top of the glaze. Slice and serve
  • 7. *Footnote* I like my cake moist so I use a little more than one cup of the crushed pineapple in the batter, 1 1/3 cup and the remaining pineapple in the other measuring cup. You don't need that much pineapple to place on top of the finished cake.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: This will make a big difference in the taste of your cake.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making the cake lighter and more tender.
  • Gradually add the eggs: Adding the eggs all at once can cause the batter to curdle.
  • Mix in the dry ingredients gradually: This will help to prevent the batter from becoming lumpy.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake at the correct temperature: Baking the cake at too high or too low a temperature can cause it to rise unevenly or fall in the center.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Inside-out cakes are a delicious and fun twist on the classic layer cake. By following these tips, you can make a perfect inside-out cake that will wow your friends and family. With its moist and fluffy texture, and its beautiful presentation, this cake is sure to be a hit at any party or gathering. Experiment with different flavor combinations and decorations to create your own unique inside-out cake.
