6 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped, plus one 1-inch piece of bittersweet chocolate
For cake
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
2 cups cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup dried currants

3 tablespoons robust-flavored (dark) molasses
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons grated orange peel
2 8-ounce packages chilled cream cheese
1/3 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Make chocolate leaves:
  • Line small baking sheet (or large plate) with foil. Add enough hot water (125°F. to 130°F.) to 9-inch-diameter cake pan to measure depth of 1 inch. Place 6 ounces finely chopped milk chocolate in 3- to 4-cup glass bowl; place bowl in hot water. Let stand just until outer edges of chocolate melt. Stir until chocolate is partially melted (some soft pieces will remain). Transfer bowl to work surface and stir until chocolate is melted and smooth and instant-read thermometer registers no higher than 88°F. (barely lukewarm). If melted chocolate is warmer than 88°F., add 1-inch piece of milk chocolate and stir until temperature falls below 88°F. Remove any remaining piece of chocolate.
  • Hold 1 leaf with heavily veined side up. Using pastry brush, carefully coat upper surface completely with chocolate. Using fingertips, wipe away any chocolate overflow from edges of leaf. Place leaf, chocolate side up, on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with 7 more leaves. Refrigerate coated leaves until chocolate is cold and set, about 10 minutes.
  • Carefully peel lemon leaves off chocolate leaves; return chocolate leaves to baking sheet and refrigerate.
  • Line another small baking sheet (or large plate) with foil. Melt 6 ounces white chocolate and make 8 white chocolate leaves, following technique and temperature guidelines for milk chocolate leaves.
  • Line another small baking sheet (or large plate) with foil. Melt 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate and make 8 bittersweet chocolate leaves, following technique for milk chocolate leaves. (Chocolate leaves can be prepared 2 days ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
  • Make cake:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line bottoms of two 9-inch-diameter cake pans with 2-inch-high sides with waxed paper. Spray sides of pans with nonstick spray. Sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, salt and cloves into medium bowl; sift again. Place currants in small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon flour mixture and toss to coat; mix in walnuts.
  • Using electric mixer, beat butter in large bowl until fluffy. Gradually beat in sugar. Beat in eggs 1 at a time. Beat in flour mixture in 3 additions alternately with milk in 2 additions. Beat in pumpkin. Fold in currant-walnut mixture. Divide batter equally between prepared pans (batter will be about 3/4 inch deep).
  • Bake cakes until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool cakes in pans on racks 10 minutes. Turn cakes out onto racks; peel off waxed paper. Cool layers completely. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Wrap in foil and store at room temperature.)
  • Make frosting:
  • Beat butter, brown sugar, molasses, vanilla and orange peel in large bowl until fluffy. Beat in cream cheese. Sift powdered sugar over; beat to blend. (Frosted cake can be prepared up to 1 day ahead. Cover with cake dome and refrigerate. Let cake stand at room temperature 2 hours before continuing.)
  • Assmble:
  • Place 1 cake layer, bottom side up, on platter. Spread with 1 1/2 cups frosting. Top with second cake layer, bottom side down. Spread remaining frosting smoothly over top and sides of cake.
  • Arrange chocolate leaves decoratively on top and sides of cake. Serve immediately or let stand up to 2 hours.

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.

Chocolate Zucchini Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting image

This cake is moist and fudgy, a great way to use up some of your summer zucchini. Would also be good with chocolate ganache, a thin white icing or glaze or even just sprinkled with chocolate chips while hot. *i used hershey's special dark cocoa- it's a mix of dutch and regular unsweetened so i think either would work here

DARK CHOCOLATE GUINNESS CAKE WITH BAILEYS CREAM CHEESE ICING



DARK CHOCOLATE GUINNESS CAKE WITH BAILEYS CREAM CHEESE ICING image

Categories     Cake     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake     St. Patrick's Day

Yield 12 people

Number Of Ingredients 15

Dark Chocolate Guinness Cake
250ml Guinness beer (1 cup)
250g butter (1 cup + 1 tbsp)
100g cup cocoa powder (2/3 cup)
400g caster/superfine sugar (1¾ cups)
140ml sour cream (2/3 cup)
2 eggs
1 tbsp vanilla extract
250g plain flour (2 cups)
2½ tsp bicarbonate of soda/baking soda
Baileys Cream Cheese Icing
500-600g sifted icing sugar/powdered sugar (4-5 cups)
100g butter at room temperature (1/2 cup)
250g cream cheese at room temperature (8oz)
4-6 tbsps Baileys Irish Cream (to taste)

Steps:

  • Dark Chocolate Guinness Cake Preheat oven 180°C/350°F and butter and line a 23cm springform tin. Melt the butter into the Guinness in a saucepan over low heat. Whisk in the cocoa and sugar and take the saucepan off the heat. Beat the sour cream with the eggs and vanilla in a separate bowl until combined, than add to the beer mixture. Whisk in the flour and bicarb until combined. Pour the cake batter into the tin and bake for an hour. The middle of the cake may still be slightly wet when you take the cake out, but it will firm up as it cools down. Leave to cool completely in the tin as it is quite a damp cake and could collapse. Baileys Cream Cheese Icing Cream the butter and icing sugar together until well mixed. Add the cream cheese in cubes slowly until incorporated. Add in Baileys. Continue mixing for 5 minutes until the icing is light and fluffy. Dollop lashings of the icing onto the top of the cake to recreate the froth on a glass of Guinness. If you are feeling particularly dexterous, slice the cake length-wise and fill the cake with the icing too (there will be definitely be enough icing).

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes     Bundt Cake Recipes

Time 4h15m

Yield Serves 12 to 14

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon unbleached all-purpose flour
3 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted and cooled
2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into pieces, plus more for pan
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 large eggs, room temperature
1/3 cup whole milk, room temperature
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped (2/3 cup)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Filling: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In the bowl of a food processor, combine cream cheese and sugar; pulse to combine. Add egg, sour cream, and flour; process until smooth. Pulse in chocolate. (You should have 1 1/2 cups.)
  • Cake: Butter a 14-cup Bundt pan. Dust with flour, tapping out excess. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs lightly, then whisk in milk.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat sugar and vanilla seeds on low speed to combine. Add flour mixture; beat to combine, about 30 seconds. Continue beating while gradually adding butter until crumbly, about 3 minutes. Slowly add half of milk mixture; increase speed to medium-high and beat until fluffy, about 1 minute. Slowly add remaining milk mixture, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Beat until incorporated, about 30 seconds more.
  • Dollop half of batter into pan, smoothing top with an offset spatula. Create a 1-inch-deep well around center with the back of a spoon. Spoon filling into ring (it will overflow -- that's okay), then dollop with remaining batter, spreading with spatula to cover. Bake until a tester inserted in center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool in pan on wire rack 15 minutes. Turn out onto rack; let cool completely, about 1 1/2 hours. Place cake on rack on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment.
  • Ganache Glaze: Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat cream and vanilla in a small pot until simmering; pour over chocolate and let stand 5 minutes. Whisk until smooth and chocolate has melted. Pour glaze over cake, allowing it to drip down sides. Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes. Cake is best served the same day at room temperature, but can also be refrigerated, wrapped in plastic, up to 2 days.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
3 cups light brown sugar, packed
4 eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups sifted cake flour
1 1/3 cups sour cream
1 1/2 cups hot coffee
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
16 ounces cream cheese, softened at room temperature
8 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted
1/2 cup cooled coffee
4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
6 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Butter and flour 3 (9-inch) cake pans. Cut 3 circles of waxed paper or parchment paper to fit the bottoms of the pans, then press them in .
  • In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer), cream the butter until smooth.
  • Add the sugar and eggs and mix until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the vanilla, cocoa, baking soda and salt and mix.
  • Add 1/2 of the flour, then 1/2 of the sour cream and mix. Repeat with the remaining flour and sour cream.
  • Drizzle in the hot coffee and mix until smooth. The batter will be thin.
  • Pour into the prepared pans and bake until the tops are firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (a few crumbs are okay), about 35 minutes. Halfway through the baking, quickly rotate the pans in the oven to ensure even baking, but otherwise try not to open the oven.
  • Let cool in the pan 10 minutes.
  • Turn out onto wire racks and let cool completely before frosting.
  • Frosting:
  • In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and cream cheese together until smooth.

  • To frost the cake, use a spatula to cover 2 of the cake layers with frosting. Stack them together.
  • Flip the third cake layer over and rest it on the top to create a very flat top for the cake. Frost on the sides and top.
  • Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
