STORE BOUGHT CHOCOLATE CAKE AND MILK
This is a recipe that my friend's Dad would always make when we were in elementary school. They bought a chocolate cake with vanilla icing. Sliced it up and placed it in a bowl and poured milk over it. I know you all are thinking I flipped my lid! LOL! This is so yummy!

GLUTEN-FREE CHOCOLATE CAKE (WITH STORE-BOUGHT MIX!)
This fast recipe could easily be made with regular chocolate box mix, but I like to make it for my friends with celiac using gluten-free mix. It takes all the guess work out of converting your favorite chocolate cake recipe to use gluten-free flour. Since cocoa powder is GF, it's is the way to go if you need a GF option - use it to flour the pans instead of all-purpose flour.

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray three 6-inch cake pans with cooking spray. Line each pan with parchment paper rounds. Spray the parchment paper and dust cocoa powder over the pan and paper. Tap the pan over a sink or trash can to get rid of excess powder.
- Whisk together the cake mix, pudding mix, water, oil and sour cream in large bowl. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking until full incorporated after each addition. Toss the chocolate chips with the cocoa powder in a small bowl. Fold the chocolate chips into the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Allow to cool in the pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then turn the cakes over onto the wire rack to cool completely.
- For the chocolate buttercream frosting: Add the butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and stir on low speed until combined. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar alternating with the milk until incorporated. Gradually add the cocoa powder, salt and melted chocolate and mix until combined. Add to a large piping bag and tie off with a rubber band.
- Place the first cake layer on a 6-inch cardboard round and place on a rotating cake stand. Pipe a layer of about 1/2 cup buttercream on top and use an offset spatula to spread into an even layer. Place the second cake layer on top of the buttercream and pipe another 1/2 cup buttercream on top. Spread into an even layer, then top with the third cake layer.
- To apply a crumb coat, pipe about 2 cups buttercream on the top and sides of the cake and use an offset spatula or bench scraper to make smooth. Remove excess buttercream and scrape into a bowl. Transfer the cake to the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes.
- Remove the chilled cake from the refrigerator. Pipe about 2 tablespoons buttercream onto the center of a 12-inch cake drum or plate; this will help hold the cake in place while you frost. Place the cake drum on a rotating cake stand. Place the cake on top of the buttercream.
- Pipe 2 to 3 cups buttercream up the sides and top of your cake, smoothing the edges with a bench scraper. Scrape excess buttercream into a bowl to keep the bench scraper clean.
ONE BOWL CHOCOLATE CAKE III
This is a rich and moist chocolate cake. It only takes a few minutes to prepare the batter. Frost with your favorite chocolate frosting.

OLD FASHIONED TEA-TIME MILK CHOCOLATE CAKE
Another one of my Mum's failsafe recipes......originally taken from the Be-Ro Home Recipes Cookbook. This cake is always a winner for afternoon teas and is delicious if eaten with a glass of cold milk! A well-behaved cake when packed for a picnic too. If you don't have evaporated milk, use full fat fresh milk instead. You can decorate this cake with walnut or pecan halves - little Cadbury's "Chocolate Buttons" are also a good finishing touch! When raspberries are in season, I often add them to the sandwich filling and to the top for decoration.

Steps:
- Bake the cake:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 13x9" pan and dust with 2 Tbsp. cocoa powder, tapping out excess.
- Melt remaining 1 cup butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add chocolate and remaining 1/2 cup cocoa powder; cook, whisking constantly, until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Whisk eggs and vanilla in a large bowl. Add sugar and whisk until smooth, lightened in color, and slightly aerated, about 2 minutes. Stream in buttermilk while whisking, then stream in chocolate mixture while whisking until smooth.
- Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into chocolate mixture. Whisk until batter is mostly smooth (there will be a few small lumps). Transfer to prepared pan.
- Bake cake until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 35-40 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cake cool completely.
- Make the frosting:
- Slice 2 oz. chocolate into long, thin shards; reserve for decorating. Coarsely chop remaining 7 oz. chocolate and transfer to a medium bowl. Add vanilla and salt.
- Heat cream in a small pot over medium until just starting to simmer. Pour over chocolate mixture and let sit 3 minutes. Whisk until chocolate is melted and smooth. Whisk in dulce de leche. Chill until firm, at least 1 hour.
- Whisk frosting to lighten and loosen, then use a spatula to spread over cake. If it's too stiff to work with, let it sit out on the counter for a few minutes. Sprinkle with reserved chocolate shards. Cut into thirds lengthwise, then into fifths crosswise (you should have 15 pieces).
- Do Ahead
- Cake can be made 3 days ahead; cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality chocolate cake and milk.
- If you don't have chocolate syrup, you can use melted chocolate or chocolate chips.
- To make the drink colder, chill the milk and chocolate syrup before using.
- For a creamier drink, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- Garnish the drink with chocolate shavings, whipped cream, or a cherry.
