Directions
V’s Chocolate Coma Cake (Triple Layer), I wanted to make my DH a special chocolate cake for his birthday this year and a box cake mix wasn’t gonna due Although I often kick-up cake mixes I decided to create a cake just for him and go the extra mile WARNING: This cake is not for dieters, It is packed with lots of love and will be my special occasion cake from now on My boys loved it so much, they are already requesting it for their birthdays! 🙂 Another thumbs up by the family!, I am sorry, but I was not that impressed with this For the amount of time it takes to make it ( and I followed each step to the T), I expected a moist, amazing cake to blow me away It just tasted like chocolate cake to me, and this might be one of those rare instances when I think a mix is better The 30 minute bake time is WAY too long, and I even baked one of the layers for 20 minutes ( after I saw that 30 minutes overcooked the other two layers) Still, with the addition of sour cream and mayo I expected melt on your mouth, and all I got was cake Regular cake
Normally, I would say that maybe it was an off day and I would give it a try again on another day, but all of the steps involved in making this ( and I DID do the freezing of the layers, and all the extras), its just not worth it to revisit the recipe Hopefully the Cake Gods were just not with me today, and other people have a good experience with it Warning, though, PLEASE watch the baking time closely if you choose to give this recipe a try
Thanks anyway :), This cake is fantastic FYI, cook it at 350 It doesn’t say what temperature to cook it My stepson is very picky with chocolate cake I made it for my husband and step son for Valentine’s Day and they love it

Bake For 30 to 35 Minutes, or Until a Cake Tester or Wooden Toothpick Inserted in the Center Comes Out Clean. Let Cool in the Pans For About 20 Minutes. Invert Onto Wire Racks, Carefully Peel Off the Paper Liners, and Let Cool Completelybefore Frosting. I Found Them a Lot Easier to Work With After Firming Them Up in the Freezer For 30 Minutes. Theyll Defrost Quickly Once Assembled. Youll Be Glad You Did This, Trust Me.). |

Making a Crumb Coat of Frostinga Thin Layer That Binds the Dark Crumbs to the Cake So They Dont Show Up in the Final Outer Frosting Layeris a Great Idea For This Cake, or Any With a Dark Cake and Lighter-Colored Frosting. Once You mask Your Cake, Let It Chill For 15 to 30 Minutes Until Firm, Then Use the Remainder of the Frosting to Create a Smooth Final Coating. Once the Cake Is Fully Frosted, It Helps to Chill It Again About 30 Minutes to Let It Firm Up. |
