Directions
Skinnier Moist Chocolate Snack Cake, If you are not a fan of cake mixes, this recipe is NOT for you! I enjoy tinkering with the mixes to see what can be added to, subtracted from or substituted for the recommended ingredients Today’s play-time began with a box of Pillsbury Reduced-Sugar chocolate cake mix and a handful of cappuccino flavored baking chips I am quite pleased with the results – a very moist, fragrant cake that is a little easier on my waistline than most I’m recording my experiment here so I can do this one again , Thank You Susie! I made this as my DH’s Bday cake and he didn’t notice the difference! It’s funny that this cake is light and I chose to frost it with your Recipe #277540 *wink* DH LOVED the cake and whipped frosting as did everyone else I added about a 1/4 cup strong coffee to the batter of the cake vs the granules, and made the milk measurement a quite scant 3/4 cup I baked the cake in 2-9 inch cake pans and they took about 25 minutes Sorry no photo as I felt silly taking photos at some one else’s house 🙂 Definitely a repeat recipe!

Nb - I Tried Something I Read in an America's Test Kitchen Cookbook - Rotated the Pan at Half-Time (~16 Minutes). Supposedly, Professional Bakers Do This to Achieve an Even Rise. I Do Have a Level-Er Than Normal-For-Me Cake So I Must Have Been Baking in the Dark For the Past 40 Years. ;-). |
