CHOCOLATE HO HO CAKE



Chocolate Ho Ho Cake image

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (15.25 ounce) chocolate cake mix
Ingredients called for on cake mix
5 Tablespoons flour
1 cup half and half
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup butter (softened)
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
2 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Make cake according to directions on package (or use your favorite homemade chocolate cake recipe). Let cake cool completely.
  • In a medium saucepan, whisk flour into half and half over medium heat on stove top. Whisk constantly until very thick, similar to the consistency of thick pudding or custard- it will take a couple of minutes. Cool completely (place in refrigerator if you want to speed the cooling process). Stir in vanilla. In a mixing bowl, mix 1 cup softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add cooled flour/milk mixture to butter/sugar mixture and beat until light and fluffy (will take a couple of minutes). Spread on cooled cake.
  • Dump chocolate chips in a bowl. Heat heavy cream and pour hot cream over chocolate. Let sit for a minute; stir gently to melt. Cream butter and powdered sugar in another bowl and then stir the two mixtures together. If you want it to be thicker, add more powdered sugar. If you want it to be thinner, add more whipping cream. Spread on cake immediately because the frosting starts to set up and become grainy in appearance if you let it sit for long.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of apple varieties. This will give your cake a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with wet batter, the cake needs to bake longer.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use a cream cheese frosting for a classic flavor combination. You can also use a whipped cream frosting or a caramel frosting.
  • Decorate the cake with apple slices, chopped nuts, or a dusting of cinnamon sugar.

Conclusion:

The Yo Ho Ho Apple Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist, flavorful cake and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try!
