Devils Food Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting Recipes

Steps:

• Whip cream in a chilled bowl. Beat until stiff peaks, being careful not to make butter!
• In a separate bowl, mix cream cheese, brown sugar, vanilla and salt until combined.
• Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Leaving no streaks of the cream cheese mixture.
• Slice each cake round horizontally making 4 layers.
• Place the bottom layer of cake on a cake stand, put 1/4 of frosting on bottom layer, spreading to the edges. It is ok to have it extend over the edges a bit to show on the outside.
• Place the 2nd layer of cake and apply the next 1/4 of frosting, pushing it out to edges. Repeat until all layers of cake are used. Spread the last 1/4 of frosting on top, making it look nice and swirly.
• If you would like more decoration on the top, take a block of chocolate or a Hershey bar and make chocolate shavings with a vegetable peeler. Sprinkle on top.

Steps:

• Prepare cake mix, pour 1/2 of batter in greased and floured 9 x 13 inch pan.
• Blend filling ingredients until smooth and creamy.
• Spread filling over cake batter.
• Pour in remaining cake batter.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
• Cool completely.
• Prepare icing and spread on cooled cake.
• Keep cake in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Beat the butter and mayonnaise in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, on high, until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. With the mixer on low, slowly add the melted chocolate. Continue mixing on low speed until all of the chocolate is incorporated, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Turn off the mixer and add one-third of the sugar. Mix on low to combine, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Repeat until all of the sugar has been incorporated. Add the salt and continue to beat until the frosting is smooth and lightens slightly in color, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Use immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 hours or refrigerate for up to a week. Bring to room temperature before using chilled frosting.

Steps:

• Devil's Food Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and lightly flour two 9 x 1 1/2-inch round cake pans or one 13x9x2-inch baking pan and set aside. Stir together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; set aside. In a large mixing bowl beat the shortening with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add sugar and vanilla; beat until well combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Add the dry mixture and water alternately to beaten mixture, beating on low speed after each addition just until well combined. Spoon batter into prepared baking pans. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool the cakes on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove from pans. Cool thoroughly on wire racks. Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting: Beat together the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Gradually add 2 cups sifted powdered sugar and cocoa powder beating well. Gradually beat in remaining powdered sugar until smooth. Beat in milk if needed to reach spreading consistency. Makes about 3 1/2 cups frosting.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Whisk together cocoa and hot water until smooth. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
• Melt butter with sugar in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring to combine. Remove from heat, and pour into a mixing bowl. With an electric mixer on medium-low speed, beat until mixture is cooled, 4 to 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until each is incorporated, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Add vanilla, then cocoa mixture, and beat until combined. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in two batches, alternating with the sour cream, and beating until just combined after each.
• Divide batter evenly among lined cups, filling each three- quarters full. Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until a cake tester inserted in centers comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Transfer tins to wire racks to cool 15 minutes; turn out cupcakes onto racks and let cool completely. Cupcakes can be stored overnight at room temperature, or frozen up to 2 months, in airtight containers.
• To finish, use a small offset spatula to spread cupcakes with frosting.
