Chocolate cake is a classic dessert. This cake recipe makes a soft and flavorful cake that makes your mouth water. The flavor of this cake is delicious. It’s also not overly sweet or bitter. Icing could help this cake taste a bit more like a cake, since it’s almost a cake textured brownie, however you don’t have to add icing to enjoy this cake. If you choose not to add icing, I recommend adding 1/4 cup chocolate chips that I will include in the recipe below. This addition to the recipe adds more variety to the texture and flavor of the cake, that would be needed if you don’t add icing. This is a light cake that doesn’t require tiny pieces. I think this cake is very good and I would recommend this cake. It’s a good cake that is a step above the average store bought or frozen cake.

Original recipe here.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine 2 cups sugar, 1 3/4 cup flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1 1/2 tsp baking soda, 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 2 eggs, 1 cup milk, and 1 cup boiling water.
Grease a 9 x 13 pan. Heat oven to 350 F.
Add batter to the pan. Add 1/4 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips spread evenly over the batter.
Baked for 35-40 minutes. Let cool before adding frosting, or serving as is.

Thurday I did something new and decided to bake up a storm. I made 2 types of apple bread and an apple cake. Not only did I have apples I wanted to get rid of, but I thought it would be fun to try and re-create others’ recipes and to see how they go. Warning! I made many mistakes, and I’m not very good at baking. I much prefer cooking of the two!

Caramel Apple Bread

You can find the recipe here!

I didn’t have caramel sauce to make the caramel icing, nor do I keep powdered sugar on hand, so I didn’t make any icing for this bread. This recipe also took about 80 minutes to bake. The bread is a sweet loaf, but it would be every good either with the icing or with the honey butter found with the cake recipe below. This is also a very dense bread, and doesn’t crumble apart as easily as the next loaf.

Cinnamon Apple Pie Bread

This was an incredibly delicious recipe. The bread did take over 70 minutes to bake in my oven though. Also not very structurally sound and very crumbly, however it is a very tasty bread with lots of flavor and textures.

Cinnamon Sugar Apple Cake

By this point, I was pretty tired of peeling, coring, and dicing apples. I also read this simple recipe wrong and forgot to add the topping before baking, so my bad on that one! Otherwise, this recipe was straight forward and simple. I really like to format that she did for writing out the steps. Also, this was the only recipe that took as long to cook as it said it would! It was a delicious moist cake that reminded me a bit of banana/pumpkin bread while eating it. It wasn’t overly sweet, however her honey butter topping was also delicious.
