Number Of Ingredients 14

Duncan Hines Classic Dark Chocolate Cake Mix
Olive Oil
Water
3 Eggs
1 cup butter at room temperature (I ALWAYS use salted butter)
1 cup solid vegetable shortening
6 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 cup butter (softened)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups cocoa
6 cups powdered sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup water

Steps:

  • With your electric mixer, cream butter and shortening until combined.
  • Slowly add the powdered sugar and beat until light and fluffy. This is usually about 2 minutes.
  • Add vanilla, and mix to combine.
  • Leave at room temperature and add a thick layer to the top of your cake once the cake is completely cooled. It is okay if you get a little crumb in your cream layer, no one is gonna notice.
  • Place cake in refrigerator.
  • In mixing bowl cream together butter and cocoa, add vanilla and 2 cups powdered sugar, 1/3 cup cream and mix together.
  • Continue to add 2 cups powdered sugar and 1/3 cup cream on top of it and cream together. Adding the cream on top of the powdered sugar will help prevent it from flying all over your kitchen. Add a little water or more cream at the end to reach your preferred consistency. Your icing should be thick but smooth, creamy and easy to spread.
  • Remove cake from the refrigerator and spread the icing over the cream layer.
  • Return cake to the refrigerator to set for about an hour.

FRENCH APPLE CAKE

With chunks of sweet apples nestled in a tender and buttery rum cake, this French apple cake is the essence of simplicity.

Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Desserts

Time 1h

Yield 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
⅔ cup granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling over cake
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons dark rum
2 baking apples, peeled, cored and cut into ½-inch cubes (I like Honeycrisp, Fuji or Granny Smith) (3½ - 4 cups chopped)
Confectioners' sugar (optional), for decorating cake

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Grease a 9-inch springform or regular cake pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray. If using a regular cake pan, line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and grease again.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Using a handheld mixer with beaters or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well and scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Beat in the vanilla and rum. Don't worry if the batter looks grainy at this point; that's okay. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until just combined. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the chopped apples.
  • Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and even the top. Sprinkle evenly with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool on a rack in the pan. Once cool, run a blunt knife around the edges of the cake. If using a springform pan, remove the sides. If using a regular cake pan, carefully invert the cake onto the rack, remove the parchment paper, then gently flip the cake over and place right-side-up on a platter. Using a fine sieve, dust with confectioners' sugar (if using). Cake can be served warm or room temperature, plain or with lightly sweetened whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
  • Freezer Friendly Instructions: The cake can be frozen for up to 3 months. After it is completely cooled, wrap it tightly with aluminum foil or freezer wrap. Thaw overnight on the countertop before serving.

HO HO CAKE

Provided by Kristina Vanni

Categories     Dessert     Cake

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 18

For the Chocolate Cake Roll:
4 eggs ( yolks and whites separated )
1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus 1/3 cup (divided)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (divided)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup water
For the Filling:
1 cup heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Chocolate Ganache:
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon light corn syrup

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a 15.5 x 10.5 x 1-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper . Generously grease the paper with unsalted butter. Either using a standing mixer or mixing by hand, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, continuously beating until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  • In a separate medium bowl, beat the 4 egg yolks and vanilla on medium speed for 3 minutes. Gradually add the remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar and continue to beat for 2 additional minutes.
  • In a third small bowl, stir together the flour and 1/3 cup of the cocoa powder. Add the baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Beating on low speed, add the cocoa mixture to the egg yolk mixture alternating with tablespoons of the water, just until the batter is smooth.
  • Gradually fold the cocoa mixture into the beaten egg whites until well blended. Don't overmix or you risk deflating the egg whites.
  • Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the top springs back when touched lightly in the center.
  • While the sponge bakes, coat a linen or thin cotton tea towel with the remaining 1/3 cup of cocoa powder-it should at least cover the size and shape of the jelly roll pan.
  • Once the cake is baked, immediately loosen it from the edges of the pan. Invert the cake onto the prepared towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper. Roll the cake and towel together, starting from the narrow end. Place on a wire rack to cool completely-the trick is to coax the cake into a rolled shape while it is still warm to keep it from cracking.
  • Using a standing mixer or by hand, whip the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until medium to stiff peaks form, or about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Carefully unroll the cooled cake. Spread the prepared whipped cream filling evenly over the top of the sponge, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the cake. Gently roll the cake back up, this time without the towel. Place on a wire rack set on a baking sheet and refrigerate while preparing the ganache.
  • Place chocolate chips, heavy cream, and light corn syrup in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until the chips are melted and the ganache is smooth.
  • Pour the ganache all over the cake roll. Spoon up any dripped ganache and pour it over the cake again. Refrigerate for at least 30 to 60 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Enjoy.
