Clares Worlds Very Best Triple Chocolate Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a very large bowl stir together cake mix and pudding mix.
• Mix in sour cream, melted butter, eggs and almond extract, beat until well blended.
• Continue to beat for 4 minutes on medium speed, then blend in chocolate chips.
• Prepare a large bundt pan by greasing all the sides and then dusting with flour.
• Pour cake mixture into the pan and bake for 55 to 60 minutes or whenever a cake tester comes out clean.
• Baking times can vary with this recipe for some reason, so do keep an eye on it!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350ºF.
• Beat all ingredients except COOL WHIP, semi-sweet chocolate and berries in large bowl with mixer until blended. Pour into 12-cup fluted tube pan or 10-inch tube pan sprayed with cooking spray.
• Bake 50 min. to 1 hour or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool cake in pan 10 min. Loosen cake from sides of pan; invert onto wire rack. Gently remove pan. Cool cake completely. Transfer to plate.
• Reserve 2 Tbsp. COOL WHIP. Microwave remaining COOL WHIP and chocolate in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1-1/2 to 2 min. or until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring after each minute. Drizzle over cake. Immediately drop scant teaspoonfuls of the reserved COOL WHIP around top of cake; draw toothpick through center of each to resemble star. Fill center of cake with berries.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit/170 degrees Celsius. Grease a 9-inch/23-centimeter round springform pan with butter and line with parchment paper, then set aside.
• Make the cake: Place butter, chocolate and hot coffee in a large heatproof bowl and mix well until everything is melted, combined and smooth. Whisk in sugar by hand until dissolved. Add eggs and vanilla extract and whisk again until thoroughly combined and smooth. Sift flour, cocoa powder and salt together into a bowl and then whisk this into the melted chocolate mixture. The batter here is liquid, but don't think you have missed something; this is how it should be.
• Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour, or until the cake is cooked and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few dry crumbs attached. The top will form a crust and crack a little, but don't worry, this is expected. Leave the cake to cool for 20 minutes before removing from the pan, then set aside until completely cool.
• Make the chocolate ganache, if desired: Place chocolate pieces in a food processor, process until fine and set aside. Combine cream and corn syrup in a small pan and place over medium-high heat. As soon as bubbles begin to appear (just before it comes to a boil), remove from the heat. Get the food processor running again, with the chocolate still inside, and pour in the hot cream in a steady stream. Process for 10 seconds, then add butter. Continue to process until mixture is shiny and smooth. (You can also make the ganache by hand; just make sure the chocolate is chopped fairly finely before adding the cream mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until almost melted, then add the butter. Stir again until the ganache is smooth.)
• Use a rubber spatula to scrape the ganache into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, with the plastic actually touching the top of the ganache. Set aside until it has set to the consistency you want. If you want a thin layer to spread over the cake, it can be poured over while liquid so that you get an even, light and shiny coating. For a thicker ganache with a spreading consistency, leave it for about 2 hours at room temperature. (The ganache can be stored at room temperature, providing it's not too warm, for 3 days or kept in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. It can also be frozen, although it will lose a bit of its shine when defrosted.)
• Make the espresso cinnamon mascarpone cream, if desired: Place all the ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat for 1 to 2 minutes, until soft peaks form.
• Peel the parchment from the cake and discard. Transfer to a serving platter and spread the ganache, if using, on top of the cake. Slice into wedges, divide the cake among plates and, if using, spoon the mascarpone cream alongside. With or without icing, the cake will keep well for 4 to 5 days in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Grease 10-inch bundt pan and dust with cocoa.
• Place all cake ingredients except the chocolate chips and almonds in a large bowl and beat for 2 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed. Mix in the chocolate chips and alomnds and pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until the cake tests done (you may need more time in your oven--I've needed as long as 75 min.). Cool on a rack for 10 minutes before removing from the pan.
• Mix all glaze ingredients in small bowl. Let stand at room temperature until.
• ready to glaze cake.
• Place warm cake on a serving dish and drizzle with glaze.
• A sprinkle of powdered sugar on the top may be another option--or you can go for broke with chocolate frosting!

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine all ingredients except chocolate chips.
• Beat 4 minutes.
• Fold in chocolate chips.
• Bake in a greased and floured 12 cup bundt pan at 350 for 50-60 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
• Cool in pan for 15 minutes then turn onto serving plate.

Steps:

• Stir together the whipped topping and half of the chocolate syrup and then place mixture in the freezer to firm up while you prep the rest of your dessert.
• In a very small microwave safe dish (like a ramekin), combine cake mix and yogurt and stir until smooth. Microwave for 1 minute and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Once the cake has cooled spoon chocolate topping mix over the top.
• Finally drizzle the remaining chocolate syrup on top and Enjoy.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F. Grease 9-inch round cake pan. In 2-quart heavy saucepan, melt 1 cup of the chocolate chips and 1/2 cup butter over low heat, stirring constantly; cool 5 minutes. Stir in flour until smooth. Stir in egg yolks until well blended.
• In large bowl, beat egg whites with electric mixer on high speed until foamy. Beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until soft peaks form. Fold chocolate mixture into egg whites. Spread in pan.
• Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean (top will appear dry and cracked). Cool 10 minutes. Run knife around edge of pan to loosen; remove cake from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Place cake on serving plate.
• In 1-quart saucepan, heat remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons butter and the corn syrup over low heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate chips are melted. Spread over top of cake, allowing some to drizzle down side.
• In 1-quart saucepan, melt glaze ingredients over low heat, stirring constantly. Drizzle over top of cake.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
• Grease and line a large cake tin (round or square) with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Combine the plain and milk chocolate and butter in a pan, and melt over a low flame, beating until smooth and well combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
• In a bowl, beat together the eggs, sugar and vanilla.
• Whisk the egg mixture into the cooled chocolate mixture.
• Then add the chopped white chocolate, flour and salt.
• Pour the entire mixture into the prepared tin. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is crisp and pale, and the center is almost set. The baking time will be much longer if you use a smaller pan.
