MEXICAN HOT CHOCOLATE LAYER CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Categories     dessert

Time 1h55m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Softened unsalted butter, for the pans
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the pans
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 3/4 teaspoons chipotle powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup whole milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs
24 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 sticks (1 1/2 cups) unsalted butter, softened
6 cups confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Cocoa powder, for dusting

Steps:

  • For the chocolate cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  • Mix the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa, chipotle powder, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt together in a large bowl until blended. Add the oil, milk, vanilla and eggs and beat with an electric mixer until thoroughly blended, about 2 minutes.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake until a wooden pick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes. Cool on a rack 10 minutes, then invert the pans to remove the cakes and cool completely.
  • For the cream cheese frosting: Beat the cream cheese and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until thoroughly combined and smooth. Add the confectioners' sugar 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla and continue to beat until the frosting is very smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Spoon 2 cups of the frosting onto the top of one cake layer and smooth evenly with an offset spatula. Top with the second layer. Spoon just enough frosting on top to make a thin but even coating of frosting on top and all along the sides of the cake; it is okay if this frosting gets messy and full of crumbs. Freeze the cake until the frosting is firm, about 10 minutes.
  • Spoon the remaining frosting onto the cake and smooth evenly over the entire cake with the offset spatula. Dust lightly with cocoa powder and serve.

CREAM CHEESE FRUITCAKE



Cream Cheese Fruitcake image

This recipe is from the Diamonds for Dessert blog. The author says "It is a family recipe handed down to me by my mom." I have yet to try it but it looks so delicious!

Provided by Roxanne J.R.

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces cream cheese
4 eggs, room temperature
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4-1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups mixed nuts and dried fruit
1/2 cup flour, to coat dried fruit

Steps:

  • To make the fruit & nut mix, chop up an assortment of dried fruits and nuts of your choice. Typically, my mom uses raisins, pineapple, papaya, green & red glacé cherries, and pecans. Smaller dried fruits like raisins don't need to be cut, but dice up the other fruits and the nuts. Now measure out 3 cups worth of the mixture and mix it up with the remaining 1/2 cup of flour (this is done so that the fruits and nuts won't all sink to the bottom of your cake when baking).
  • Preheat the oven to 325°F
  • Cream the butter and sugar together. Mix in the cream cheese.
  • Add the eggs in one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add the vanilla extract.
  • In another bowl, mix the dry ingredients: 2 cups flour, the baking powder, and the salt.
  • Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients; the batter will be quite thick.
  • When barely any streaks remain, mix in the flour-covered fruit & nut mix. Only on few strokes of your spatula are needed; do not overmix.
  • Spray a loaf pan (9x5 in) with nonstick spray and line the bottom of the pan with a rectangle of parchment paper.
  • Scrape your batter into the loaf pan, smoothing the top.
  • Place in the oven and let bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean.
  • If near the end of baking, the inside of the cake is still wet but the top is browning too quickly, cover the top with a sheet of foil.
  • Let your cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to finish cooking.
