Chocolate Decadence Cake |
![]() This is a quick and easy cake solution to make just to have dessert any day of the week or if you suddenly find out company is coming. You can simply melt chocolate chips that you have in your baking cabinet, fill a piping bag and pipe any kind of design you want. Drizzling is even faster, and while the chocolate is nice and warm, you just let it fall from a spoon while you move your hand in a zig zag motion back and forth across the cake. The white chocolate gives it some more definition. |

Spicy Brownie Chocolate Cake |
For the frosting: 4 egg whites, room temperature Combine egg whites and sugar in a stainless steel mixing bowl. Heat the mixture, stirring constantly, over medium heat until hot. Be careful, hold edge with pot holder. When the mixture is hot, beat with whisk attachment until the egg whites and sugar are white and fluffy. Slowly add pieces of room temperature butter that has been cut into pieces, mixing constantly until all the butter is added. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate and set aside. When the buttercream is finished, pour in the chocolate and blend thoroughly. Add vanilla. Cover tightly and refrigerate until buttercream is firm enough to spread. Spread over the cake. Add the pepper decorations around the sides. Chill until set. |

Chocolate Quaisimoto Cake |
![]() Just find a picture of Quasimoto in google images, print it out, and place either a transfer sheet or plastic wrap over it. Tape the transfer sheet or plastic wrap down in place. Then pipe the outline of the photo in melted semi-sweet chocolate. Fill in the body of Quasimoto with melted butterscotch chips. Depending on the other colors in your particular picture, use the colored candy melts to fill in the rest of the design. Place the design in the freezer to set. When set, remove the transfer sheet or plastic wrap and place the picture on the cake. |

1920s Cake |
The design was created in melted chocolate. Use the same technique as for a buttercream transfer to replicate a picture. The clear transfer sheets are ideal for placing over a picture and tracing the image in piped chocolate. |

Brownie Cake |
![]() You can use a layer of brownie with other types of cake. You can even take a brownie mix and add an extra egg to the recipe to lighten it up and give it a cake texture. I like to make a cake with brownie on the bottom (I put it on the bottom because it's dense and heavy) then cheesecake in the middle. I actually bake the brownie with the cheesecake mix poured directly on top of the brownie. Then I put white chocolate cream cheese icing in the middle and finally, I top the cake with a regular chocolate cake. This combination is amazing and satisfies every type of chocolate lover. |
