Do we have to wait?
Until Thanksgiving, Christmas or Birthdays?
Can’t we have chocolate cake year round? Do we have to make or have a special occasion for it?
If the retailers, bless their financial hearts, have decided to make Halloween a season instead of the one night of fright it has previously been, can’t we have a chocolate cake eating season?
We should.
We will.
Good. We’re in agreement. We can see that chocolate mustache that you are now sporting.
The great news is that you can buy chocolate cake in so many places.
Or you can make it.
Or you can crash a friend or relative’s party who is good at making it.
We love it with a hot Coffee Mocha. Lots of cream.
Our favorite chocolate cake maker and baker is the world famous Ree Drummond.
Ree Drummond is an American blogger, author, food writer, photographer and television personality who lives on a working ranch outside of Pawhuska, Oklahoma.
In February 2010, she was listed as No. 22 on Forbes‘ Top 25 Web Celebrities.
Her blog, The Pioneer Woman, which documents Drummond’s daily life as a ranch wife and mother, was named Weblog of the Year 2009, 2010 and 2011 at the Annual Weblog Awards (The Bloggies).
Capitalizing on the success of her blog, Ms. Drummond currently stars in her own television program, also entitled The Pioneer Woman, on The Food Network which began in 2011.
She has also appeared on Good Morning America, Today Show, The View, The Chew and The Bonnie Hunt Show.
Ree has also written numerous cookbooks, a children’s book, and an autobiography.
With that resume, we think it is safe to say that she knows a thing or two about making some delicious chocolate cake. So much so, it made the news. Of course.
At cheatsheet.com they share, “Can you make a cake with just three ingredients? The Pioneer Woman star Ree Drummond has the perfect chocolate cake recipe that uses one easy store-bought shortcut for the easiest cake around. She had a simple trick to replace the flour and sugar used in a typical cake batter. Drummond used hard chocolate cookies that she put in a food processor and pulsed into fine crumbs.”
Very clever. Have to hand it to her. We loved her so much, we wrote about her. Of course.

So here, we are going to venture into the unknown and give another writer and blogger a chance to tell us about how she makes chocolate cake to live for, year round.
First the writer. The title is very simple. So is her approach. Found at Thrift Books.
Chocolate Cake
“Chocolate cake is America’s favorite dessert, from fudgy brownies to mile-high layer cakes. Now, virtually every rendition of this best-loved dessert is presented in one tempting volume more than 150 cakes for every occasion.
Bestselling cookbook author and pastry chef Michele Urvater has collected and reinterpreted the finest recipes from American and European baking traditions.
Here are easy homemade classics such as old-fashioned Devil’s Food Cake and Buttermilk Chocolate Cake as well as more challenging pastry-shop fare such as Sacher Torte, Hungarian Dobos Torte, and a festive Double Chocolate Christmas Log.
There are heirloom cakes that date to the beginning of the last century and desserts as up-to-the-minute as individual warm chocolate cakes. Urvater guides bakers of all skill levels through a wealth of original and tempting variations on the standards, such as Pecan Bourbon Chocolate Cake or Hawaiian Coconut Cake with White Chocolate Ganache. And a plethora of fillings, icings, buttercreams, and glazes allows for nearly endless mixing and matching of layers and frostings.
Each recipe has a designated level of difficulty, so even the novice baker will be able to achieve instant success and chocolate gratification. Meticulous recipes along with advice on advance preparation, serving, decoration, and storage all make this comprehensive tribute to the ultimate dessert a book that belongs in every baker’s library.”
Sounds simple enough.
Now for the blogger.
How to Make the Best Chocolate Cake
We all know that chocolate cake is one of the easiest cakes to prepare but not everyone can make it deliciously, just like the ones that we have in pastry shops and restaurants. For you to bake chocolate cake that you and your family will surely love here is a chocolate cake recipe for you.
With a history that dates back to 1764, chocolate indeed goes a long way, proving that it is a favorite food among most people. It was first made when chocolate was first discovered, using ground cocoa beans using two circular millstones. It was further improved in 1879 when conching was introduced by Swiss Rodolphe. Conching is the process of making chocolate smoother and silkier which then made it better for baking since it mixes with batters completely. In 1930, there were chocolate cake mixes sold by the Duff Company in Pittsburgh. Chocolate cake became very popular during the 1980s and the 1990s wherein there can be other ingredients added aside from the chocolate such as tea, champagne, red pepper and a lot more. To this date, there are a lot of chocolate cake variants such as layer cakes, black forest cake, soufflé cake, fudge cake, snowball cake and a lot more.
One of the best chocolate cake variations is the black forest cake, which you can serve for both children and adults. For this delicious recipe, what you will need are 1/2 cup of softened butter, 1 1/4 cups of sugar, two eggs, 1 1/4 cups of all purpose flour, 1/2 cup of natural unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon each of baking soda and vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder and 3/4 cup of buttermilk. For the filling, you will need 2 cans of cherry pie filling, 3 cups of heavy whipped cream, 1/4 cup of confectioner’s sugar. Should you choose to have garnish, you can have milk chocolate curls or sweet cherries or other garnishes that you prefer.
You will first need to prepare the cake which you start by doing the basics – preheating your oven to 350 0F and lining a cake pan with greaseproof paper. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and the sugar using an electric mixer until it is fluffy and white. While beating the butter, add one egg at a time while mixing it well. Add the other ingredients – the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, baking soda, buttermilk and vanilla extract and continue mixing until the mixture is already smooth. Afterwards, place the mixture into the cake pan and then bake for about 45 minutes. When it is already cooked, allow it to cool then cut into three layers horizontally.
For the filling, you will first need to drain the cherry pie so that the juices will be removed. In a mixing bowl, beat the whipped cream and the confectioner’s sugar until it is already thick. Shave the chocolate using a vegetable peeler and then refrigerate the mixture while waiting for the cake to be baked. When the cake is ready and the filling is prepared, you are now ready to assemble your black forest chocolate cake. You will first need to put one layer of the cake on a serving plate and then spread some of the whipped cream on top and then adding the cherry pie. Add the next layer of the cake and then do the same process. For the last layer, spread the whipped cream and the spread the remaining on the sides. Add the garnish of your choice and your black forest chocolate cake is now ready to be served.
Do this chocolate cake recipe and you will surely be delighted by the result if you follow the instructions carefully. You and your companions will certainly be looking forward to having more chocolate cakes from you.
