ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH YUMMY CHOCOLATE WHIPPED CREAM ICING



Angel Food Cake with YUMMY Chocolate Whipped Cream icing image

This frosting adds so much to a plain Angel Food Cake. I have had good luck with both purchased cakes, cakes from mixes, or cake from scratch (really too much work when the mix is just as good). You could also use this on other cakes but is perfect with the lightness of Angel Food.

YUMMY, EASY CHOCOLATE BANANA CAKE



Yummy, Easy Chocolate Banana Cake image

So easy, so good! Only 3 ingredients. This recipe was a happy mistake. I misread a recipe and discovered this fantastic treat! It has a different texture than a regular cake. Sort of a cross between cake and brownies, it has a lovely chewiness. Lovely hot out of the oven alone or with ice cream, or when cool topped with whipped cream.

  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The temperature of your oven can affect the texture and flavor of the cake. Be sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off the cake.
