Jessica asked:


My sister wants the All American Chocolate Cake from Costco for her birthday cake, however my mom and I would rather make it ourselves.

Does anyone have the recipe for it?

It’s layered, and round, really rich chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and chocolate shavings on the side.

If anyone can give me the recipe that would be great!

Thanks!

Helen

      *Moist Deluxe Dark Chocolate Cake Mix(Copycat-Duncan Hines)

      Ingredients
      2 cups all-purpose flour
      1 3/4 cups sugar
      3/4-1 cup cocoa
      2 teaspoons baking powder
      1 teaspoon baking soda
      1/2 teaspoon salt
      4 tablespoons vegetable shortening
      To make cake
      1 1/3 cups water
      1/2 cup vegetable oil
      3 large egg

      Directions
      Combine flour, sugar,cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Now stir to combine. Add shortening, using electric mixer on medium speed to blend the shortening into the dry ingredients. Completely mix shortening until you can’t see any chunks. This is the mix which may be kept in a sealed container for several months.

      To make the cake:.
      Preheat the oven to 350*F. Grease sides and bottoms of two 9″ baking pans, or one 9×13″ pan. Lightly flour the greased pans. Blend the dry cake mix(above) with water, oil, and eggs in a large bowl with the mixer at low speed until just moistened. Kick up the speed to medium and mix about 2 more minutes.
      Pour batter into pans and bake 30-33 minutes for the 9″ pans and 35-38 minutes for the 9×13″ pan.If you wish to make cupcakes, bake for 19-22 minutes.

      *German Choclate rich cake

      The German chocolate cake recipe is usually a 3-layer cake, so that plenty of the frosting filling is nicely sandwiched between the chocolate cake’s layers, a good ratio of filling to cake!
      This German chocolate cake recipe serves 12. Prepare three 9″ cake tins lined with wax paper or greaseproof paper on their bases.

      Preheat oven to 180C (350F) gas 4.

      Ingredients
      4 oz German’s Sweet Chocolate, finely chopped 1/2 cup boiling water
      8oz butter 15oz of superfine sugar
      4 egg yolks
      4 egg whites, stiffly beaten
      1 tsp vanilla
      10oz cake flour
      1 tsp baking soda
      1/2 tsp salt
      1 cup buttermilk

      Melt the chocolate gently in boiling water. Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy, then add egg yolks, vanilla, and chocolate. Add dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk, then fold in the beaten egg whites. Pour into the three 9″ pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes.
      Frost only the tops of the layers with the traditional German chocolate cake coconut pecan frosting, leaving the sides unfrosted.
      Here are the ingredients for the coconut pecan filling and frosting for the German chocolate cake recipe:

      1 cup evaporated milk
      1 cup sugar
      3 egg yolks
      1/2 cup butter
      1 tsp vanilla
      1 1/3 cup coconut
      1 cup chopped pecan nuts

      Combine all ingredients except coconut and pecans in a saucepan. Cook over a medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 12 minutes. When the mixture thickens, remove from heat. Stir in the coconut and pecans. Cool until the mixture is spreadable.

      ENJOY :-)
