Q: what is the best chocolate cake recipe you’ve ever tasted?
I’m making a wedding cake and I’d like to try something different. What’s the best recipe you’ve used? I’ve been thinking about doing a dark chocolate cake.

A: I love Julia Child’s chocolate almond cake. I’m not sure how easy it would be to make it into a wedding cake, but it’s moist and wonderful every time :) Good luck with your cake, and congrats to the happy couple!

Q: I need the absolute BEST chocolate cake recipe!?
It’s for a friend’s wedding… not her actual wedding cake but an additonal one for her mehndi party. I need the most delicious recipe!
Thanks in advance.

A: Chocolate Fudge Cake, never fails to impress

For the cake:
6 oz (175 g) self-raising wholemeal flour
1 rounded teaspoon baking powder
6 oz (175 g) very soft butter
6 oz (175 g) light soft brown sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 rounded tablespoon cocoa powder

For the chocolate fudge filling and topping:
4½ oz (125 g) light soft brown sugar
1 x 170 g tin evaporated milk
4½ oz (125 g) dark chocolate (50-55 per cent cocoa solids), broken into small pieces
2 oz (50 g) soft butter
2 drops vanilla extract

To decorate:
4 oz (110 g) whole almonds
cocoa powder or icing sugar, for dusting
Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 3, 325°F (170°C).

You will also need two 7 inch (18 cm) sponge tins, 1½ inches (4 cm) deep, lightly greased, and the bases lined with baking parchment.

First of all, weigh the flour, then take out 1 rounded tablespoon of flour and replace it with the rounded tablespoon of cocoa. The tablespoon of flour you take out won’t be needed. Now simply take a very large mixing bowl, place the flour, baking powder and cocoa in a sieve and sift it into the bowl, holding the sieve high to give it a good airing as it does down. Now all you do is simply add the remaining cake ingredients to the bowl and beat them together. What you will end up with is a mixture that drops off a spoon when you give it a tap on the side of the bowl. If the mixture seems a little too stiff, add a little water and mix again.

Now divide the mixture and spread it evenly in the prepared tins and bake on the centre shelf of the oven for about 30-35 minutes or until springy in the centre. After 30 seconds (or thereabouts), turn the cakes out on to a wire cooling rack and strip off the base papers. Leave to cool while you make the chocolate fudge filling and topping.

To do this, combine the sugar and evaporated milk in a heavy saucepan. Heat gently to dissolve the sugar, stirring frequently. When the sugar has dissolved and the mixture comes to the boil, keep the heat very low and simmer for 6 minutes without stirring. Remove the pan from the heat and, using a small balloon whisk, whisk in the chocolate, followed by the butter and vanilla extract. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and, when it is cool, cover it with clingfilm and chill for about an hour to allow the mixture to thicken. Then beat again, and spread half on one sponge, placing the other one on top. Use the rest to spread over the top and sides and decorate the top with almonds, dusted with cocoa powder or icing sugar

Q: Best recipe for butter cream cake icing? cream cheese icing?
I want to make a chocolate cake with white icing –either buttercream, wedding cake (the bakeries here call these cakes silver cakes), or cream cheese icing. Any good recipes? Thanks! Also, if you have a recipe for a moist chocolate or white cake, please share! Thanks again

A: this is the icing i use cream cheese it is good

1 cup (2 sticks) butter
16 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 lb. (8 cups) confectioners’ sugar
2 tablespoon milk

NOTE: Do not use light cream cheese or butter substitute. If margarine is used, icing will be softer.

In a medium mixer bowl cream butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Add sugar and milk. Beat on high until smooth (only 30 seconds to 1 minute). Thin to ice cake smooth; use full strength for piping borders.

i usually use that on my red velvet cake

but this is a recipe i have used before choco cake it was good

INGREDIENTS
1 cup margarine
1 3/4 cups white sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups milk
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×13 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.

Q: Wedding CAKE – what kind of recipe should I use?
http://s3.amazonaws.com/wedding_prod/photos/cake_61_m.jpg

The link above is a picture of a cake I’m going to bake & design for my Cooking project. The layers, shapes, and the exterior will almost be similar. (Since the cake in the picture was professionally done, and I’m just a student…my cake won’t be as perfect as the picture above.)

Anyone know which kind of recipe I should use? Chocolate? Angel Cake? Lemon? ..etc
Problem is, I don’t know which will be the best choice. Any suggestions/opinions/comments would be greatly appreciated! :)

Thanks!

A: What a coincidence, I’m making a wedding cake too! It’ll be like yours except round. I have 9 months to do it and I’ve been researching for weeks. I want everything to be perfect. I’m starting with some styrofoam to get an idea of how to carve the cakes. Then I’m moving on to a simple 2 layer to get a feel for cake carving and also to learn the quirks of fondant. I’m going to be making ALOT of cake in the next 9 months. First, I’ve heard that store bought fondant is nasty so I highly recommend making your own. I’ve heard alot of positive things about marshmallow fondant. Look around at recipes on the internet and decide for yourself.

Second, I found a really awesome recipe for wedding cake. It has great reviews and is easy as well as versatile:

Third, I also discovered a really informative video for topsy turvy cakes on youtube.

Be sure to read her blogs (links located to the right of the youtube video), they have alot of good tips.

Finally, in case there aren’t any good baking supply stores in your area, here’s the website I go to for my baking needs:

I hope this helps you. Good luck!
