Kellies To Die For Chocolate Cake Recipes

CHOCOLATE BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease a bundt pan. Dust it with cocoa powder if you have some. Do not dust it with regular white flour.
• Place cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, eggs, melted butter, and almond extract in a large bowl.
• Beat until well blended. The batter will be thick.
• Stir in chocolate chips.
• Pour the batter into the greased bundt pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 55 to 60 minutes.
• Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan.
• Invert the cake onto a wire rack and cool completely.
• In a double boiler over hot water, combine chocolate chips, butter, and corn syrup.
• Stir until the chocolate chips are melted and the texture is smooth.
• Stir in vanilla extract.
• Pour the glaze over the top of the cake letting it drizzle down the sides.
• Sprinkle chocolate chips and/or toasted chopped nuts on top of the cake if desired.
• Transfer the cake to a cake plate or serving platter.

KELLIE'S TO-DIE-FOR CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 345 degrees. Grease a bundt pan.
• Mix together: oil, water, eggs and sour cream. Beat until well mixed.
• Add: cake mix and small box of pudding. Beat until smooth. Batter will be very thick.
• Fold in 2 cups of mini chocolate chips (you can also use regular chocolate chips).
• Bake for 1 hour or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. I usually lay a piece of foil over the top after about 40 minutes to keep the top from overbaking. Remove from oven. Cool for 15 minutes.
• Turn cake over onto a plate removing it from the bundt pan. (Do not leave it in the bundt pan longer than an hour or it can break apart when you try to remove it from the pan.).
• Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar. Enjoy!

TO DIE FOR CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Melt butter, cocoa, water and oil -- bring to a simmer. To the hot mixture in a stand mixer, add remaining cake ingredients, mixing well after each addition.
• Pour into greased 10 1/2 by 15 1/2 pan (or jelly roll pan). Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes (check at 15). DO NOT OVER BAKE. Test with a toothpick at 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.
• While the cake is cooling, prepare frosting. Melt 1 stick butter, cocoa, buttermilk, vanilla and powdered sugar and mix well in stand mixer. Pour frosting on top of warm cake.

CHOCOLATE CAKE TO DIE FOR

Steps:

• Bake cake according to directions.
• Immediately after baking, poke holes all over cake with end of wooden spoon (like aerating your lawn).
• Pour can of condensed milk on top of the cake (filling in the holes as much as possible--I often use a spatula to scrape condensed milk that has gathered at the edge of the pan into the holes).
• Melt jar of hot fudge and pour that over the cake (covering the top of the cake with fudge, but again, filling in the holes as much as possible. I also use a spatula here to scrape hot fudge that has gathered at the edge of the pan into the holes).
• Before serving, top cake with Cool Whip and crushed Score or Heath Bar. (optional, but covers up the holes to make the cake look more presentable).
