Moist Chocolate Cake Bread Machine Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Place the ingredients into the pan of the bread machine in the order listed, select Cake function, press start. About an hour and a half later, it will be done.
• 2. Remove the pan from the bread machine and set on the counter to cool for about an hour. Once it has cooled, then turn out the cake onto a wire rack to completely cool. (The indentations on the top are from dropping out of the pan onto the rack, I now use an oven mitt to catch it.)
• 3. Slice, and use a large spatula to pick up and set on plates, or it will fall apart. Top with some whipped cream, enjoy! Here is a slice served with two brownies.

Steps:

• Place the warm water, salt, softened butter, egg, sour cream, 3 1/2 tablespoons of sugar, flour, and yeast into a bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer, select the dough cycle, and start the machine. Check the dough after about 5 minutes of mixing, and add 1 to 2 more tablespoons of water or flour if the dough is too dry or wet.
• Mix 1/4 cup of sugar, the cinnamon, 2 1/2 tablespoons of melted butter together in a bowl. Grease a baking sheet, and set aside.
• When the dough cycle is finished, remove the dough and roll out to a 10x28-inch rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the cinnamon-butter mixture over the dough, and sprinkle on an even layer of pecans. Pick up one of the long edges, and roll the dough into a 28-inch long log.
• Place the rolled dough onto the prepared baking sheet, seam side down, and form the dough into a ring. Moisten the ends of the dough with a little water; pinch the two ends together to seal. Cover the dough ring with a cloth or greased plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake the cake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown, about 15 minutes.
• Mix the confectioners' sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons of melted butter, vanilla extract, and just enough milk to make a smooth but not thin glaze.
• Remove the cake from the oven, and cool for about 10 minutes on a wire rack. While the cake is still warm, spoon the glaze onto the cake, allowing drips of glaze to dribble down the sides of the cake. Immediately sprinkle the cake with alternating bands of purple, green, and yellow colored sugar. Allow the cake to cool completely before serving.

Steps:

• Add all of these ingredients into the bread pan, making sure that the melted butter, if hot, does not touch the raw eggs as it could scramble them. Place the pan into the bread machine & set it on Batter Bread. Press start & close the lid. The machine does all the work for you. It mixes the batter and then bakes it too. In 1 hour and 40 minutes, you will be smelling yummy cake. Remove the pan from the machine and place on a cooling rack for approximately 10 minutes. Then, turn upside down and the cake should "pop" right out. Allow the cake to cool completely, or serve warm. The kids like it served with a dollop of fresh whipped cream or powdered sugar. NOTES: This recipe can be cooked in a greased loaf pan in the oven too, on 350°F for 20 minutes. Then, if it isn't cooked through, just add additional 5 minutes until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. The cocoa powder is an additional ingredient that I have added. At this time, you could also add 2 tablespoons of raisins and omit the cocoa, or an additional 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips. I have made it with blueberries, dried cranberries, changed up the vanilla for banana extract and put bits of banana--the possibilities are endless.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.
• In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, soda and salt. Add sugar and mix together.
• Add oil, water and vanilla and mix thoroughly.
• Pour into a 9x13 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan. Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing just until incorporated. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.
