Devils Food Snack Cakes Recipes

DEVIL'S FOOD CAKE I

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour one 9x13 inch pan or two 9 inch round pans.
• In a small pan melt the butter or margarine with the unsweetened chocolate. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Cream together the sugar and the eggs until light in color. Add the chocolate mixture to the eggs and temper mixture by beating well (so you don't end up with scrambled eggs!) Add 1 cup boiled water (still warm) and blend well. Mixture will be very liquid.
• Mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add this mixture to the chocolate mixture and blend well.
• Mix together the vinegar and the milk and stir into the chocolate batter. Pour into prepared pan(s).
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cake divides well for filling with mousse, or ganache, or black forest fillings. The best clue to this cake being nearly done is that you will start to smell the aroma of chocolate filling your house!

DEVIL'S FOOD CAKE

Steps:

• To make the frosting: Put the chocolate in a large heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, bring the cream to a boil. Pour the cream over the chocolate, move the bowl gently to let the cream settle. Set the mixture aside until softened, about 4 minutes. Whisk until smooth. Cover the surface of the frosting with plastic wrap. Set aside and let set up at room temperature, about 2 hours.
• To make the cake: Set a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter two 9-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with a circle of parchment or wax paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter at medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Increase the speed to medium-high and slowly add the sugar. Continue beating until light and smooth, about 4 minutes. Turn the mixer off and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the cocoa powder and vanilla and beat at medium speed for 1 minute more. (Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl again, if needed.) With the mixer running at medium-low speed, add the eggs, one at a time, beating for 1 minute between each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Combine the water and milk in a saucepan and bring just to a boil. Remove from the heat.
• With the mixer at low speed, add the flour mixture, about a 1/4 cup at a time. Carefully pour the hot liquid into the batter. Remove the bowl from the mixer and, using a large rubber spatula, finish combining the batter until smooth. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Lightly drop each pan onto the counter to settle the batter.
• Set the pans on the middle rack in the oven. Bake until the cakes begin to pull away from the sides of the pans and the center springs back when touched lightly, about 30 to 35 minutes.
• Cool the cakes, in the pans, on a rack for 10 minutes. Turn the cake layers out of the pans and cool on the rack. (If not assembling the cake right away, wrap the layers in plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to 1 day, or freeze for up to 2 months.)
• Assemble the Devil's Food Cake. Place 1 cake layer upside-down on a cake stand or flat plate. Scoop about 1/3 of the icing onto the center of the layer. Using a large, offset spatula, spread the icing evenly over the layer to the edges. Place the other cake layer, rounded-side up, on top. Evenly spread half of the remaining icing over the top, spreading any excess icing down the sides. Spread the remaining icing around the sides of the cake. Use the tip of the offset spatula to make a swirling pattern in the icing. Serve. Store under a cake dome or loosely wrapped with plastic, at room temperature, for up to 2 days.

DEVIL'S FOOD COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, butter and water (batter will be thick).

DEVIL'S FOOD SNACK CAKES

Steps:

• Start by making the marshmallow cream topping. Separate three eggs, discard the yolks, and beat the whites until foamy. Then add the salt and corn syrup, and beat on high for ten minutes (until thick). Add powdered sugar at low speed. Add the vanilla and mix until blended. Refrigerate.
• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Empty the devil's food cake mix into a large mixing bowl and add the water, the yogurt or oil, and three eggs. (I usually substitute plain yogurt for the vegetable oil. Keeps the dessert much healthier, and in my opinion, improves the texture.) Spray muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray and fill each with the batter to no more than 1/4 full. Cakes will rise slightly, and you want them to finish at about the size of a cookie. Bake for about 10-15 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Allow to cool on parchment or wax paper.
• To make the chocolate coating, put 18 oz of semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl. (I prefer semi-sweet) Add the vegetable shortening and microwave on high for about a minute and a half. Stir until smooth and well blended adding microwave time if necessary.
• Cover the top of each "mini-cake" with a spoonful of the marshmallow cream. Then coat with a spoonful of the chocolate topping, allowing it to cover the top and sides of each cake. Let sit out until chocolate hardens. Store at room temperature, in the fridge, or in the freezer to suit your preferences.
• *It works best when you add the cream and the chocolate alternately to each cake (1 at a time) so that it can form layers.
• * Also to add a bit of style, I usually drizzle a bit of the leftover marshmallow cream on top of each finished cake for decoration.
