Obscenity Cake Recipes

4-INGREDIENT SPONGE CAKE (VIDEO RECIPE)

Steps:

• Preheat Oven to 350˚F. Line bottoms of two 9″ cake pans with parchment paper (do not grease the sides).
• In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment (this is the one I have), beat 6 large eggs for 1 minute on high speed. With the mixer on, gradually add 1 cup sugar and continue beating 8-10 minutes until thick and fluffy.
• Whisk together 1 cup flour and 1/2 tsp baking powder then sift this mixture into fluffy egg mixture one third at a time. Fold with a spatula with each addition just until incorporated. Scrape spatula from the bottom to catch any pockets of flour and stop mixing when no streaks of flour remain. Do not over-mix or you will deflate the batter.
• Divide evenly between prepared cake pans (it helps if you have a kitchen scale to weight the pans). Bake at 350˚F for 23-28 minutes (my oven took 25 min), or until top is golden brown. Remove from pan by sliding a thin spatula (here's the one I love for cakes) around the edges then transfer to a wire rack and remove parchment backing. Cool cakes to room temperature then slice layers equally in half with a serrated knife.

OBSCENE CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Do not preheat oven.
• Spray a 12-cup Bundt pan with vegetable cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, cocoa, sugar, sour cream and oil.
• Beat with an electric mixer on low speed just long enough to blend.
• Add the eggs and blend well, and then increase the speed to medium-high and beat for 4 minutes.
• Fold the chocolate chips into the batter with a spatula and stir gently until they are well distributed.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and set the oven to 325 degrees.
• Bake until a cake tester or wooden toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean (about 55 minutes.) Let the cake cool in the pan at least 1 hour before slicing.
• You may drizzle chocolate icing over the cake to make it even chocolatier, but it is wonderful without it too.
