THE BEST CHOCOLATE CAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Grease and line three 8-inch (20 cm) cake tins with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
• In a large glass measuring cup, combine the stout, vanilla, and espresso powder. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until it is light and fluffy, about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides occasionally to ensure all the ingredients are being evenly creamed together.
• Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
• Add the mayonnaise and beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
• Preheat oven to 325˚F (160˚C).
• Alternate adding the prepared dry and wet ingredients to the batter. Starting with about ⅓ of the dry ingredients, beat until incorporated. Then add ⅓ of the liquid ingredients, mixing until the batter comes together. Continue until all the wet and dry ingredients have been incorporated.
• Using a rubber scraper, fold the dark chocolate chunks into the batter.
• Distribute the batter evenly between the 3 prepared cake tins.
• Bake for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
• Place the cakes on a cooling rack and leave to cool for about 10-15 minutes, until the outside of the pan is cool enough to touch.
• Once the cakes have cooled, loosen the edges using a butter knife. Then place a large plate over the tin and invert to release the cake from the pan. Remove the parchment paper from the bottom of the cake and slide the cake back onto the cooling rack to cool completely. Repeat for the remaining two layers.
• While your cakes are cooling, prepare the buttercream.
• In a large bowl, beat together the butter and vanilla.
• Gradually add in the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and milk, continuously beating until all the ingredients have been incorporated and the frosting is light and fluffy.
• Frost and decorate to your liking.
• Slice and serve.

CHOCOLATE-COCONUT SHEET CAKE

Steps:

• Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; line bottom and 2 long sides with parchment, leaving an overhang. Butter parchment, and dust with cocoa powder. Whisk together cocoa powder, flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Gather flour mixture into a mound, and create a well in center. Pour eggs, buttermilk, coffee, oil, and vanilla into well, and whisk until thoroughly combined and smooth. Pour batter into dish, and spread evenly with an offset spatula. Bake until set and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 25 minutes.
• Topping: Meanwhile, melt butter for topping in a small saucepan. Combine confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, and coconut in a large bowl. Stir coffee and vanilla into butter, and pour over coconut mixture. Stir to combine, and immediately spread evenly over warm cake. Let cool completely on wire rack.

Spoon one-third of the frosting on top and spread evenly, almost completely to the edge. Place the other layer, up-side down, on top, pressing gently to anchor. Using an offset spatula, evenly frost the entire cake; if the frosting gets too soft, place it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Gently press the toasted coconut around the outside of the cake and sprinkle it over the top.
• Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

CHOCOLATE COCONUT BUNNY BUTT CAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the chocolate cake and paws: Preheat the oven 325°F (170°C). Grease a 7-inch hemisphere-shaped cake pan or 9-inch deep oven-safe bowl and 5 cups of a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.
• Pour the chocolate cake batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each about ¾ of the way. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the cupcakes spring back when gently pressed.
• Fill the prepared cake pan with the remaining batter and set in a flat-bottomed cake pan to stabilize in the oven. Bake for 55-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Remove the cupcakes and cake from the oven and let cool at room temperature for 20-30 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to cool completely, at least 1 hour.
• Make the buttercream: In a large bowl, combine the butter, salt and powdered sugar. Cream with an electric hand mixer on medium speed for 5-7 minutes, until no powdered sugar remains at the bottom of the bowl. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Beat in the vanilla. Add the milk and continue beating until the buttercream is light and fluffy, another 5 minutes.
• Make the bunny ears and paw prints: In a small, microwave-safe bowl, combine the pink and white candy melts. Microwave in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth. Transfer to a piping bag and cut a small hole at the tip.
• Line 2 small baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Place the skewers vertically at one short end of a prepared baking sheet. Starting at the tops, pipe the melted pink candy over the skewers in the shape of bunny ears, leaving 4-5 inches uncovered at the bottom to stick into the cake. Let sit until dry, about 5 minutes.
• On the remaining prepared baking sheet, use the candy melts to pipe 4 large circles, about 1 inch in diameter, and 8 small ovals, about ½ inch wide, for the paw prints. Let sit until dry, about 5 minutes. You will not need all of these for assembly, but make extra incase of breaking or improper sizing.
• Make the grass: In a medium bowl, mix together 1½ cups shredded coconut and the green food coloring until the color is evenly distributed.
• Make the carrots: Using kitchen shears, cut off the flat ends of the orange candies.
• Cut the green sour ropes crosswise into ½-inch pieces. Place 2-3 of the green ropes pieces onto the sticky, exposed sides of the orange candies for the carrot tops.
• Make the bunny tail: Add 3 cupcakes to a medium bowl and crumble finely with your hands. Mix in 1 tablespoon of the buttercream until evenly distributed, then shape the cake mixture into a ball. Transfer to the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to set.
• After chilling, coat the cake ball in buttercream, then cover with 3 tablespoons of the white shredded coconut. Return to the fridge while you assemble the rest of the cake.
• Make the feet: Place the remaining 2 cupcakes on a cutting board, with the bottoms facing up. Dab a bit of buttercream on the side of each cupcake and place a marshmallow on top of the buttercream.
• Cover the cupcakes and marshmallows with a thin coat of buttercream and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set.
• Remove the feet from the refrigerator and cover with a thicker coat of buttercream, rounding the edges to blend the shape together. They should be narrower at the top and rounder at the bottom. Arrange the pink candy paw prints on the feet, with a round circle on top and the 3 smaller ovals underneath. Return to the refrigerator to set for another 20-30 minutes
• Assemble the cake: Dollop 1 tablespoon of buttercream on the center of a cake platter. Place the round cake on the center of the platter with the domed side facing up, using the buttercream to keep the cake in place.
• Spread a thin layer of buttercream all around the cake and cover with the remaining 1 ½ cups white shredded coconut.
• Place 6 toothpicks in 2 triangle shapes on one side of the cake. Remove the feet from the refrigerator and place them into the toothpicks.
• Place 4 toothpicks above the feet, then attach the tail to the toothpicks.
• Spread the coconut grass around the body, then arrange the easter eggs and carrots in the grass.
• Stick the ears in the front side of the bunny at about a 45° angle, so that they are slightly resting on the cake for support. If the skewers are too long, cut down so the ears cant rest against the cake.
• Slice and serve.
• Enjoy!
