Time 1h

Yield 18 to 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

21/2 cups all-purpose flour
11/2 cups good cocoa powder
21/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
3 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
3 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups buttermilk, at room temperature
3/4 cup sour cream, at room temperature
3 tablespoons brewed coffee
24 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
M&M's candy for decorating

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 12 by 18 by 1 1/2-inch sheet pan and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars on high speed until light, approximately 5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, and the vanilla and mix well. Combine the buttermilk, sour cream, and coffee. On low speed, add the flour mixture and the buttermilk mixture alternately in thirds, beginning with the buttermilk mixture and ending with the flour mixture. Mix the batter only until blended.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the center of the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool to room temperature before frosting.
  • Place the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally, until the chips are completely melted. Off the heat, add the corn syrup and vanilla and allow the chocolate mixture to cool to room temperature. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the chocolate mixture and softened butter on medium speed for a few minutes, until it's thickened.
  • Spread the frosting evenly on the cake. Have the children decorate the cake with M&M's.

An amazing upside-down cake recipe for those who love chocolate. Serve warm with whipped topping and experience a taste of heaven.

Provided by Alissa Doe-Klinger

Categories     Desserts     Cakes     Cake Mix Cake Recipes     Upside-Down Cake

Time 55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups chopped pecans
15 ¼ ounces chocolate cake mix (such as Betty Crocker® Super Moist)
1 ¼ cups water
⅓ cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 ⅓ (16 ounce) packages fudge frosting mix
1 ½ cups milk
1 ½ cups butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease the bottom of a deep 9x13-inch baking pan. Spread pecans over.
  • Combine cake mix, water, oil. and eggs in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  • Combine frosting mix, milk, and butter in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir until all ingredients are melted. Remove from heat; you do not want to bring this to a boil. Pour over the cake mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Cut into pieces and flip them over into a bowl to serve; there will be a gooey fudge sauce that has accumulated on the bottom of the pan. If necessary, spoon this back onto the cake after it has been flipped into the bowl (this is the best part).

Tips:

  • To make the easy chocolate cake layer, use a boxed chocolate cake mix and follow the instructions on the box. For a homemade chocolate cake layer, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk and beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool completely in the pans before inverting them onto a wire rack.
  • To make the chocolate fudge layer, heat the heavy cream, corn syrup, and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips and vanilla extract. Pour the fudge mixture over the cooled chocolate cake layers and spread to cover evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge has set.
  • To make the whipped cream topping, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Beat on high speed with a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until stiff peaks form.
  • To assemble the cake, place one of the chocolate cake layers on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread some of the whipped cream over the cake, then top with the second cake layer. Spread the remaining whipped cream over the top and sides of the cake. Decorate with chocolate shavings, sprinkles, or other desired toppings.
