Betty’s Best Chocolate Cake with Double Frosting

Roxanne Browning — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 23:42:07 +0000

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make her Best Chocolate Cake with Double Frosting. This cake is composed of three moist chocolate layers that are frosted with Betty’s Never Fail White Icing and then Betty’s Rich Chocolate Frosting over the top of that. It is a gorgeous cake and is absolutely delicious! You will find the two cake icings in separate videos.

Ingredients:

¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 cup boiling water
2 tablespoons butter, softened to room temperature
2 cups sugar
2 cups self-rising flour
½ cup additional butter, softened to room temperature
½ cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Betty’s Never Fail White Icing (video is in bettyskitchen)
Betty’s Rich Chocolate Frosting (video is in bettyskitchen)
dark chocolate curls or shavings, optional

In a small saucepan, combine ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, 1 cup boiling water, and 2 tablespoons butter. Stir until smooth and set aside. Place 2 cups sugar and 2 cups self-rising flour in a large mixing bowl and stir until well-blended. Add cocoa mixture and ½ cup butter. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to blend. Add ½ cup buttermilk, 2 eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat for 2 minutes with electric mixer. Ladle batter into 3 greased and floured 8-inch cake pans that have lined with waxed paper on the bottom. (I used 8 ¾-inch cake pans, resulting in thinner layers and shortened cooking time.) Bake at 350 degrees (F) for approximately 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. (My cake layers took only 20 minutes, since they were in 8 ¾-inch pans.) Cool cake in pans for about 10 minutes, and then cool completely on racks. Spread Betty’s Never Fail White Icing between the layers and on top of cake. Let the icing set up before continuing. (You may find it useful to refrigerate the cake for a couple of hours.) Spread Betty’s Rich Chocolate Frosting over top and sides of the cake. Garnish with chocolate curls, if desired. Let cake frosting set up before serving. This is a gorgeous cake that is my very favorite! I hope you enjoy it!!! Happy New Year 2011! Love, Betty ♥♥♥♥♥

Betty’s Best Ever Chocolate Crumb Cake

Roxanne Browning — Sat, 09 Jul 2011 00:13:30 +0000

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a Chocolate Crumb Cake. This cake is made with a mix, and then covered with crunchy chocolate crumbs, confectioner’s sugar, and chocolate chips.

Ingredients

18.25-oz. box chocolate cake (I used butter chocolate flavor.)
ingredients as listed on cake mix directions (My cake mix required 1 1/3 cups water, 1 stick butter, and 3 eggs.)
cooking oil spray
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ¼ cup sugar
2 sticks butter, melted
3/8 cup cocoa powder
¼ cup confectioner’s sugar (powdered sugar or icing sugar)
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips (You may use a small amount of cocoa powder or chocolate shavings instead.)

In a large mixing bowl, mix chocolate cake batter, according to package instructions, adding any ingredients listed on the package. Pour batter into a 15-inch by 10-inch by 2-inch baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking oil spray. Bake at 350 degrees (F) for 15 minutes. While cake is baking, make chocolate crumb topping as follows: In a large mixing bowl, stir together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ¼ cups sugar, and 3/8 cup cocoa powder. Add 2 sticks melted butter and stir until mixture is thick and workable. With your hands, pinch off chunks of the chocolate mixture and place them on top of the partially-baked chocolate cake. Continue until all of the chocolate mixture is used and the cake is evenly covered. Return the cake to a 350 degree (F) oven, and bake an additional 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove cake from oven. Immediately sprinkle top of cake with ¼ cup confectioner’s sugar, and then with ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips. Let cool for at least ½ hour before cutting cake into squares. This cake is delicious served warm, but it is equally good at room temperature or chilled. Enjoy! Love, Betty ♥♥♥♥♥
