Chocolate Cinnamon Sundae Cake Cooking For 2 Recipes

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-2-inch round cake pan with parchment paper, and spray with cooking spray.
• Whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Beat together the buttermilk, egg and vanilla in a measuring cup. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and beat with a wooden spoon until well combined, scraping the side and bottom of the bowl once or twice with a rubber spatula. Stir in the hot water until it is all absorbed and the batter is smooth (it will be thin).
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and bake until the top is shiny, the cake is just beginning to pull away from the side of the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a crumb or 2 attached, about 20 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan on a cooling rack for 20 minutes. Turn the cake out of the pan, remove the parchment paper and let the cake completely cool on the rack, right-side up, about 1 hour. (The cake will be thin, but don't worry-it will magically be OK once it's stacked with frosting.)
• For the frosting: Pulse the butter, cocoa powder, confectioners' sugar and salt in a food processor 10 times, stopping halfway through to scrape the bottom and side of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the corn syrup and vanilla, and pulse 5 times. Scrape the bottom and side of the bowl, drizzle in the chocolate and pulse 5 more times to combine. Transfer the frosting to a small bowl.
• To assemble: Cut the cooled cake into 4 even quarters. Frost the top of each quarter with about 2 tablespoons of the frosting (an offset spatula helps spread the frosting evenly). Stack the frosted quarters directly on top of each other on a serving plate, resulting in a 4-layer wedge of cake with frosting between layers and on top. Frost all 3 sides of the cake with the remaining frosting until completely covered. Let sit for 30 minutes. Halve and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom and sides of 8x4-inch loaf pan with cooking spray; lightly flour.

• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Add the cocoa and whisk to combine. Pour the boiling water into the melted butter mixture in the pan. Allow to bubble for a moment, then turn off the heat. Pour the chocolate mixture into the flour mixture. Stir together for a moment to cool the chocolate, then pour in the egg mixture. Stir together until smooth.
• Pour the batter into 4 ovensafe 6-inch skillets (unbuttered) and bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
• Drizzle the cakes with Cinnamon Hot Fudge Sauce and top with scoops of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream and a cherry.
• Add the sugar, cream, cocoa, butter and cinnamon to a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the butter melts, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a mason jar and store in the fridge. (The sauce will harden as it cools, so reheat in a pan over medium heat when ready to use.)

Steps:

• For the cake: Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch cake pan with aluminum foil and coat it with cooking spray.
• Beat the cake mix, oil, egg and 1/4 cup water in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Let stand a few minutes until no longer tacky, and then pat into the prepared pan.
• Bake until the edges are set, the cake has deflated and the top is no longer wet and shiny, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely, about 1 hour.

Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the sauce starts to boil, turn down the heat. Cool 15 minutes before serving. Transfer to a bowl or small pitcher.
• Let the cake stand at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving.
• Whip the cream with the sugar in a chilled medium bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the ice cream layer to cover.
• Use the foil to lift the cake out of the pan and place on a serving platter. Slice and serve along with the chocolate sauce and your favorite toppings, such as chocolate sprinkles, chocolate chips, crushed chocolate wafer cookies, maraschino cherries and chocolate-covered raisins, nuts and pretzels.

• Using a spatula, add the chocolate to the egg mixture and stir gently until combined.
• Pour the mixture into the ramekin. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until the edges are set and puffed, but the center is still soft when lightly pressed. (You can also cover and refrigerate the batter up to a day in advance. Add an additional minute or 2 to baking time if you are baking the cake directly from the refrigerator.)
• Use an offset spatula or small knife to loosen the edges of the cake from the ramekin. Place a plate over the ramekin and carefully invert the warm cake. Use an oven mitt or clean kitchen towel to remove the ramekin, dust the cake with confectioners' sugar and serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
