I know they don't really class as cakes but;

Four Nut Chocolate Brownies from Delia Online (http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/four-nut-chocolate-brownies,935,RC.html)

Are absolutely awesome!

Especially with a dollop of Ben and Jerry's Vanilla ice cream!

My New Favorite is a Spicy Chocolate Cake (don't let the jalapeņos fool you its cinnamony and yummy!)

1 cup semi sweet morsels
1 1/4 cps sugar
1.5 sticks of butter softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 large eggs
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1 to 2 tablespoons diced jalapeņos

Preheat oven to 350. Microwave morsels for 1 minute, stir until morsels are melted. BEAT sugar, butter & vanilla until creamy. Add eggs. Beat 1 minute. Beat in melted morsels. Combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in separate bowl then slowly beat into chocolate mixture alternating with milk (so it would go beat in dry ingredients then beat in milk then dry then milk until both are beaten in). Stir in jalapeņos then pour into cake pans. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes (or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean). Allow to cool in pans for 20 minutes then invert onto wire rack to cool completely.

Frosting: (this is the BEST YUMMIEST FROSTING - I had to smack people from eating it straight from the bowl)

3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup milk
1/2 stick butter softened
2 packets (7 ox each) Nestle Toll House Choco Bake Unsweetened Chocolate flavor
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt

BEAT powdered sugar, milk, butter, Choco bake, vanilla, salt until its frosting!

Moomin buy it, it has to be the most interesting autobiography I've ever read definitely worth the time and effort that's for sure gives you a good insight to why he is the way he is.

Glinda he has a steam about him giggle and happens to be one of the richest chefs in the world :D to boot.

Sep 25, 2007, 06:05 AM
Really? I didn't know he was so wealthy. But I guess that's big ol duh since he has several programs here as well as there and books, etc, etc.

I personally have a rather large crush on Anthony Bourdain. He's like a rogue chef.

Moomin
Sep 25, 2007, 06:06 AM

Here is an outstanding Chocolate Cake (sort of) recipe

Chocolate Carmel Toffee Trifle

1 to 2 Chocolate cakes prepared per bpx directions for 9X13 pan. Quantity of cake depends on the size of your trifle dish
2 packages instant chocolate pudding made per box instructions
2 container of cool whip topping defrosted
1 jar of carmel sauce
1 package of toffee pieces or 3 toffee candy bars broken into small pieces

Let the cake cool then cut into squares. Layer the bottom of your trifle dish with cake, then spoon in 1/4 of the pudding, drizzle with carmel sauce and 1/4 of the toffee pieces, then 1/2 of 1 container of coolwhip. Start the layering again. End the trifle with the coolwhip. I then sprinkle the coolwhip with toffee pieces, or place larger pieces of a toffee bar around for decoration.

A great adult variation... add a small drizzle of Amaretto or coffee flavored laquior to each layer.

I use all dark chocolate (pudding and cake)

When I make this, there is no leftovers!

Here's an idea for a cake,
Not chocolate though.(you could always substitute caramel with choco)

Make a butter cake dough
Divide it into two
With one half add caremelled sugar
Pour the plain butter dough into a baking tray
Next pour the caremel dough on top(do not mix)
Bake

It comes out nicely marbled
Beautiful and tasty!
Sorry CBW, no pics yet.

Tequila Christmas Cake with Chocolate Chips

1-cup water
1-tsp. baking soda
1-cup sugar
1-tsp. salt
1-cup of brown sugar
Lemon juice
4 large eggs
Nuts
1 bottle tequila
2-cups dried fruit
1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips

Sample the tequila to check quality. (I already sampled it... several times to check the quality.)

Take a large bowl, check the tequila again. To be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink.

Repeat.

Turn on the electric mixer.

Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl.

Add one teaspoon of sugar. Beat again.

At this point its best o make sure the tequila is still OK. Try another cup... just in case.

Turn off the mixerer thingy.

Break 2 leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the dried fruit.

Pick the frigging fruit up off the floor.

See if you can get the chocolate chips in there now.

Mix on the turner.

If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers just pry it loose with a drewscriver.

Sample the tequila to check for tonsisticity.

Next, sift two cups of salt. Or something.

Check the tequila.

Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts.

Add one table.

Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find.

Greash the oven.

Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over.

Don't forget to beat off the turner.

Finally, throw the bowl through the window.

Finish the tequila and wipe counter with the cat.

I almost forgot Death by Chocolate
(I've only had it once)

1 (19.8 oz.) box fudge brownie mix
1/4 to 1/2 c. Coffee Liqueur
3 (3.5 oz.) pkgs. Instant chocolate mousse
8 (1.4 oz.) chocolate covered toffee candy bars (like Skor or Heath bars)
1 (12 oz.) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

Preheat oven according to brownie package directions. Bake brownies according to package directions; let cool. Prick holes in the top of the brownies with a fork and pour the coffee liqueur over brownies; set aside.

Prepare chocolate mousse according to package directions. Break candy bars into small pieces in food processor or by gently tapping the wrapped bars with a hammer. Break up 1/2 the brownies into small pieces and place in the bottom of a large glass bowl. Cover with 1/2 the mousse, then 1/2 the candy, and then 1/2 the whipped topping. Repeat layers with remaining ingredients.

Note: Instead of the coffee liqueur, substitute a mixture of 1 teaspoon sugar and 4 tablespoons black coffee. Or just leave out the coffee flavoring entirely. This is absolutely delicious and it is as it says Death By Chocolate.


KILLER CHOCOLATE SAUCE:

3 tbsp. unsalted butter
4 oz. unsweetened chocolate
2/3 c. boiling water
1 1/2 c. sugar
7 tbsp. corn syrup
1 tsp. vanilla

Melt the butter and chocolate in a heavy saucepan over low heat; add boiling water and stir well. Mix in the sugar and corn syrup, until sauce is smooth. Boil the sauce, without stirring for 10 minutes; remove from heat; cool 20 minutes, then add the vanilla. Spoon the sauce over the Death by Chocolate Cake.
