My friend Steve at work loves chocolate and requested something yummy and chocolatey for his next shift. So that is when my hunt for great chocolate recipes started. I first found this recipe on Bake or Break that sounded great, which used this recipe from All Recipes that also had great reviews. So I specifically went out to the grocery store to buy buttermilk to make this cake for Steve, but when I got home my internet was down again and I di
I got the original recipe for this quick and easy cake from my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook, but I decided to use brown sugar instead of white and added 1tsp of vanilla to it to give it more sweetness. The best description for this cake would be from my friend who described it as a thick and sweet pancake. I found the texture to be a bit more dense and not as fluffy as I would have preferred (maybe because I used brown sugar instead of white) but it still had good flavor. Because of its pancake appeal, it would also taste good serving it with maple syrup and vanilla ice cream or with whipped cream and fresh fruit.
I remembered making this chocolate Guinness cake a while back and how it was so moist, dense, and delicious that I wanted to try making another type of cake using another type of beer. I discovered this vanilla cake recipe that was simply enough and decided to change it a bit so I could add my beer without it being to overpowering. The first batch I made I used Kokanee Gold, which is an amber lager that has a hint of caramel taste to it. The second batch I made I used Granville Island Honey Lager because I wanted to try it again with a different sweetness.
I love Oreo's and I love cake! So why not combine the two...? This cake is like two big and soft Oreo's staked on top of each other and It's fun to make and delicious to eat! I think next time I will make the chocolate cake part from scratch and reduce the portions so that there is more cookies and cream to enjoy.
This is one of my favorite chocolate cake recipes. It is made with Guinness beer, which gives the cake a nice rich, dense, chocolate taste. I made it for my girlfriends birthday in the summer and it seemed to be very popular. There are many different versions of this cake but this recipe is my favorite because of its awesome flavor and easiness to make. I decorated my cake with little toffee bits which gave it a more sweet taste to go along with the frosting.
I found this recipe for cinnamon flop cake (which is also called cinnamon brunch cake) on RecipeZaar and was drawn to it because of all the rave reviews and easyness of it, so I decided to make it. I admit the cake was super fast and easy to make but it just didn't have quite the texture I was hoping for (Maybe I mixed it too much, or not enough, or didn't add enough toppings...?). It was a bit on the dry side and it wasn't as fluffy as I would have preferred for a light brunch cake, but it still had a really nice cinnamon and brown sugar flavor combination.
