Chocolate Cakes

The German chocolate cake is layered with chocolate-buttermilk that also has toppings of coconut-pecan frosting. Though it's often referred to as the German chocolate cake, it is not a German invention at all. In fact, the original recipe can be attributed to a homemaker in Dallas. In 1957, the recipe was sent to a Texas newspaper, and made use of Baker’s German’s Sweet Chocolate, which was the creation of an English gentleman by the name of Same German.

This German chocolate cake quickly found favor, and it was so popular that General Foods sent pictures to newspapers all over the United States. It's now found in all bakeries as well as on store shelves, and is sold as cake mix.

For making chocolate cake, there are many different recipes available. The main ingredients that go into making it are two cups of flour, two cups of sugar, 150 grams of butter, two eggs, two teaspoons of cocoa powder, one teaspoon of baking powder, as well as one cup of strong coffee.

To bake the chocolate cake one must cream the butter and sugar so that it becomes soft, as well as creamy. One should add eggs to the butter-sugar mixture and sieve the flour as well as cocoa and baking powder, and then add it to the mixture of eggs and butter-sugar. Then, put coffee in and mix it all up well.

The baking dish should be greased with oil or butter, and one should bake the preparation at high temperature for about 35 to 45 minutes and check that the cake is properly baked by sliding a thin knife and seeing if it comes out clean. If it does, the cake is baked; otherwise, bake for a few more minutes, and soon you will have a delicious treat.

Death by Chocolate Cakes: An Astonishing Array of Chocolate Enchantments
No doubt about it: chocolate rules. Celebrating this happy fact is Marcel Desaulniers's Death by Chocolate Cakes, another installment in his bestselling Death by Chocolate series. These books bring chocolate sweets to, well, heart-stopping heights. Cake, which contains 50 or so recipes for goodies such as Chocolate Heart of Darkness Cakes (dense chocolate cupcakes with a molten chocolate-truffle center) and Excessively Expressive Espresso Fantasy (chocolate ganache-filled chocolate espresso cake topped with espresso mousse), also includes formulas for chocolate ice creams, drinks, and sauces--all in all a true debauch. Though its recipes are painstakingly written and easy to follow, most require multiple, technically exacting preparations; aside from chocolate voyeurs, they'll be of greatest interest to reasonably skilled bakers with time to spare.

Chocolate From The Cake Mix Doctor
Chocolate from the Cake Mix Doctor repeats Byrn's foolproof approach, focusing solely on chocolate. The strategy? Begin with commercial mixes like chocolate cake, devil's food, and chocolate brownie; alter them with ingredients that add flavor, such as cocoa powder, or richness and moistness, like sour cream; use homemade frostings (supermarket versions won't cut it); and you're in business. "My mission," says Byrn, "is to help busy cooks find the time to bake even when company is not coming." If her sweets lack true homemade quality, they nonetheless produce entirely creditable desserts most bakers, and those they feed, will applaud.
