SALAD DRESSING CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH EASY SHORTENING ICING



Salad Dressing Chocolate Cake With Easy Shortening Icing image

This recipe has been in my family forever. I grew up on it and has always been my favorite. It came from the time when eggs were not readily available. People are put off by the idea of "salad dressing" or Miracle Whip in a cake, but it is so moist and delicious! I tend to make this in two 9" round pans.

2 containers (16 oz each) Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy chocolate frosting
1 oz candy melts (color to match candy sprinkle stars) or dark chocolate chips (from 12-oz bag)
1 pretzel rod or 1 thin crispy breadstick (about 8 inches long)
1 bottle (1.25 oz) multicolored edible candy sprinkle stars
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (from 12-oz bag)
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
12 candy-coated chocolate candies
Black writing icing pen

1 small brown paper bag (about 4x3x2 inches)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 3 (8-inch) round cake pans with shortening; line with cooking parchment paper.
  • Make cake batter as directed on box. Divide batter evenly among 3 pans.
  • Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes. Remove from pans to cooling racks; remove parchment paper. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Place 1 cake layer on cardboard round. Frost top with 1/3 cup frosting. Top with second cake layer; frost top with 1/3 cup frosting. Top with third cake layer; frost top and side of cake with thin layer of frosting to form a crumb coat. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Place 1/3 cup frosting in 1-quart resealable food-storage plastic bag; set aside. Remove cake from refrigerator; frost top and side. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • In small microwavable bowl, microwave candy melts uncovered on High 30 to 60 seconds, stirring every 15 seconds, until melted. Holding pretzel rod on one end, spread melted candy melts to cover three-fourths of the rod. Place rod on piece of cooking parchment or waxed paper; sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sprinkles to cover. Let stand about 15 minutes or until sprinkles are attached to rod.
  • In small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips and whipping cream uncovered on High 45 to 60 seconds, stirring every 15 seconds, until melted and smooth. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes or until chocolate has cooled and mounds slightly when drizzled from spoon.

  • Place sprinkle-covered rod off center on top of cake; push into cake slightly so it is at an angle. Cut off one corner of bag with reserved frosting. Pipe frosting around rod, going upward to form large mound around base. Sprinkle top of cake with candy sprinkles.
  • Press 2 candy-coated chocolate candies on side of cake. Use icing pen to make small circle in center of each chocolate candy to create an "eye." Place 6 slivered almonds around two eyes to look like claws. Repeat with remaining candies and almonds around side of cake. Refrigerate 30 minutes to harden.
  • Transfer cake to serving plate when ready to serve. Decorate small brown bag as desired, and place on top of sprinkle-covered rod. Use piece of crumpled foil to fill inside of bag to maintain shape if needed. Store covered at room temperature; remove rod when covering cake for storage.

SALAD DRESSING CAKE FROSTING RECIPE



Salad Dressing Cake Frosting Recipe image

Provided by á-1396

Number Of Ingredients 4

5 tbsp. evaporated milk
6 tbsp. margarine
1 box confectioners sugar
4-5 tbsp. cocoa

Steps:

  • Heat together milk and margarine. Add sugar and cocoa; beat until smooth.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help your cake batter mix together more easily and result in a smoother cake.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The recipe calls for baking the cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If you bake it at a higher temperature, the cake may brown too quickly on the outside while the inside remains uncooked.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cake.
  • Use a serrated knife to cut the cake: This will help prevent the cake from crumbling.

Conclusion:

This chocolate cake recipe is easy to follow and results in a delicious, moist cake that is perfect for any occasion. The shortening icing is also easy to make and adds a rich, creamy flavor to the cake. Whether you are a beginner baker or an experienced pro, you will love this recipe. So preheat your oven and get started!
