ROMANO'S MACARONI GRILL CHOCOLATE CAKE RECIPE

Romano's Macaroni Grill Chocolate Cake Recipe image

This information was found at the About.com website, cooking for kids:http://kidscooking.about.com/od/desserts/r/macgrillchoccak.htm The first time I tried the Macaroni Grill chocolate cake, I immediately wanted the recipe. It is moist on the inside with a decadent chocolate ganache topping, then it is finished off with chopped walnuts. Although I'm told the authentic Macaroni Grill chocolate cake recipe calls for coffee, I wanted to make a version for the kids. So this smothered chocolate cake recipe uses buttermilk in place of the coffee.

Time 40m

Yield 1 9 x 13 inch pan, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
2 cups granulated sugar
2 1/4 cups cake flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/3 cups buttermilk (or coffee)
1 cup heavy cream
10 ounces chocolate, chopped
1 cup walnut pieces, chopped

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 13 pan.
With an electric mixer, beat mayonnaise and sugar together.
In a medium bowl, stir together flour, cocoa powder and baking soda.
Add half of the flour mixture to the mayonnaise mixture.
Add half of the buttermilk to the batter, beating well.
Add remaining flour mixture and remaining buttermilk.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 25 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted 2 inches from the edge comes out with crumbs attached.
Let cool. Meanwhile, prepare ganache: Put chopped chocolate in a heat-resistant dish.
Heat heavy cream over medium heat just until bubbles begin to form around the edges. Pour over chopped chocolate.
Stir until smooth.
Cut cake into pieces and pour ganache over each piece, so it drizzles down the sides. Garnish with chopped walnuts.

Tips:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) before starting to make the cake batter.
Use a large mixing bowl to combine the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt). This will ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients (eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract). This will help to emulsify the ingredients and create a smooth batter.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9-inch round cake pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
For the chocolate frosting, use a stand mixer or electric hand mixer to beat the butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and milk, mixing until you reach the desired consistency.
Spread the chocolate frosting on top of the cooled cake. You can also use a piping bag to create a more decorative design.
Serve the cake immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later. The cake can be stored for up to 3 days in the refrigerator or up to 2 months in the freezer.

Conclusion:

This Romano's Macaroni Grill Chocolate Cake recipe is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and chocolatey, with a rich and creamy frosting.
