Dirty Frosting Chocolate Recipes

DIRTY CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar and then add the egg and vanilla. Mix well.
• Add the flour, sifted cocoa, baking soda and baking powder together. Sift as needed.
• Add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture and stir. (Can also use a hand held mixer) It will be a dry mixture.
• Scoop out the dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Cookies will spread, so be sure to place them at least 2 inches apart. (I used a measuring scoop that holds about 2 1/2 tablespoons of batter.)
• Place some sugar in a small bowl or plate and dip the bottom of a glass into the sugar and press the cookie down. (I sprayed the glass with non-stick spray the first time, you only need to spray it once.)
• Bake 8-10 minutes or until tops are just dry. Let cool on pan for a few minutes so that you can move them to a cooling rack without breaking them.
• In mixing bowl, place all of the ingredients and blend together using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer.
• Spread over cookie using an offset spatula or butter knife.

CHOCOLATE FROSTING

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat the butter until light and smooth. Beat in the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
• Place the chocolate chips in a small bowl and place over a small pan of barely simmering water. Heat, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted and smooth, about 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the melted chocolate to the vanilla frosting and stir until smooth.

CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING (6-MINUTE RECIPE)

Steps:

• With a handheld mixer or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat butter on high speed for about 3 minutes or until creamy and lightened in color, scraping down the bowl as needed.
• Add confectioners sugar, cocoa powder, 3 Tbsp heavy cream, 2 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/4 tsp salt.
• Beat on low speed until sugar is incorporated then increase to medium/high speed and beat for 3 minutes, scraping down the bowl several times to ensure everything is well blended. Add another Tablespoon of heavy cream if needed to thin the frosting.

DIRTY FROSTING (CHOCOLATE)

Steps:

• Melt chocolate and butter together.
• In a mixer, combine the chocolate, and half of the sugar.
• If frosting is too thick, mix in water.
• Mix in the rest of the ingredients. If frosting seems too thick, or too runny more milk, or sugar can be added.

EXTREME CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9 inch cake pans.
• Use the first set of ingredients to make the cake. In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla, mix for 3 minutes with an electric mixer. Stir in the boiling water by hand. Pour evenly into the two prepared pans.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to cool completely.
• To make the frosting, use the second set of ingredients. Cream butter until light and fluffy. Stir in the cocoa and confectioners' sugar alternately with the milk and vanilla. Beat to a spreading consistency.
• Split the layers of cooled cake horizontally, cover the top of each layer with frosting, then stack them onto a serving plate. Frost the outside of the cake.
