Make Your Birthday a Memorable One With Those 2 Wonderful Birthday Chocolate Cake Recipes!
It's your child's birthday and you want to surprise him/her with that special treat-a really great tasting chocolate cake that is sure to be a hit with his friends. Just check out those 2 chocolate cake recipes for your kids' birthday
Ingredients: 2 cups plain flour 60g/21/2oz ground almonds 225g/8oz good quality dark chocolate (at least 70 per cent cocoa solids), broken into pieces 225g/8oz butter 6 free-range eggs, separated 50g/2oz soft brown sugar grated orange zest (optional) 175g/6oz caster sugar icing sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
2. Grease and line the base and sides of a 20cm/8in loose-bottomed or clip-sided cake tin with greaseproof paper.
3. Sift the flour and almonds into a large bowl.
4. Place the chocolate pieces and butter into a heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water, making sure the water doesn't touch the base of the bowl. Heat while stirring from time to time, until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and allow cooling slightly.
5. Separate the eggs into two large bowls. Add the brown sugar to the bowl with the egg yolks and whisk together for a few minutes until frothy. Add the flour mixture, melted chocolate and grated orange zest, if using. Fold lightly to mix, using a large metal spoon.
6. Whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form when the whisk is removed. Gradually add the caster sugar and continue whisking until stiff peaks form when the whisk is removed.
7. Gently fold the egg white mixture into the chocolate mixture. Pour the mixture into the cake tin.
8. Bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes, or until crisp on top and squidgy inside. Test the cake with a cocktail stick or skewer - it should come out a bit sticky, but not wet. Allow to cool on a wire rack - the cake will sink but that's ok. Carefully peel the paper off when the cake's cold
9. To serve, dust the cake with icing sugar and cut into slices.

Birthdays come and go each year and how you celebrate is entirely up to you. One thing I can count on as I age (gracefully, I hope) is that I'll be making an outrageous, overthetop, inyourface type of cake. This year's ...
This Anytime Chocolate Cake is named so, because nine times out of ten, you will have all the ingredients hanging around waiting to be used in your store cupboard and it takes no time at all to put together. It was actually the very first cake I ever cooked all by myself..aged 40.
I know that 40 is a little late to start baking cakes, but if you are a late starter, too, believe me, learning to run up a few easy cakes is well worth it. Grateful and greedy recipients, for some reason, treat you like you've just come up with the solution to world poverty, rather than simply thrown a few ingredients together and hung around the oven for an hour.
For this reason, all you grannies out there who've never cooked a cake - I would like this one to be your first. As I lost my baking virginity with my Anytime Chocolate Cake, it's still the sweetmeat love of my life and the recipe comes out time and time again, most recently two days ago when it was rustled up in two different forms for sale at our village Xmas coffee morning. I'm proud to say that they got snapped up in thirty seconds flat.
Before I get on with sharing the recipe, I'd also like to say that this is a great first cake to make with your grandchildren and a vital recipe to pass on if any of them are about to go off to University.
Educating them on making Anytime Chocolate Cake will absolutely ensure that they forge new friendships and influence people - and have a little bit of home comfort on hand anytime when they go through exam stress, party celebrations and broken love affairs.
It's rather smart adorned with decorations - even bought chocolate hazelnut spread with a few drops of orange oil stirred in, will do the trick. But it is also fabaroo naked as the moment it comes out of the oven, served as a pudding with a dollop of ice cream or paddling happily in a hot pool of custard.
So 'nuff said, let's get going.
Ingredients:
300g thin cut marmalade (alternatively bramble conserve or a mix of whatever happens to be hanging around in jars)
125g unsalted butter
100g dark chocolate
150g caster sugar
Pinch salt
2 large eggs
150g self-raising flour
20 cm cake tin, lined if not silicone (to make life easy, invest in a silicone one - nowadays they sell them in pound shops.)
Incidentally, unlike most cakes, this one seems to turn out perfectly, even if you don't happen to have the exact size cake tin, so don't stress about it. Pour the mixture in to muffin cases for that matter, and it still won't let you down.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F / 176°C / Gas Mark 4
1. Put the butter in a heavy bottomed pan over a low heat to melt. 2. Stir in the chocolate until nearly melted. 3. Take off the heat and stir to amalgamate. 4. Add the sugar, salt eggs and Marmalade to the pan and stir together. 5. Beat in the flour, little by little. 6. Pour the mixture in to the cake tin and bake for about 50 minutes or until a skewer or thin knife blade comes out clean. 7. Cool in the cake tin for 10 minutes then turn out on to a plate.
That's it!
If you don't want to add adornments, but think it's a little rude to present the cake totally naked, then sprinkle some icing sugar through a sieve on to the top.
It's a sturdy cake, half a pudding almost, rather than a fragile creature to be treated with the utmost care - all the easier for lugging about should you be taking it round to a friend's for supper and all the more reason to make it a family favorite. Just get ready to pass on the recipe. EVERYBODY asks for it!

This is a very dense, moist and delicious white chocolate cake – one of my favorites and and a great desert.
Ingredients
For the cake: 310g plain flour 5g baking soda 2g baking powder 3g salt 170g white chocolate, chopped 120ml hot water 225g butter, softened 300g caster sugar 3 eggs 235ml buttermilk
For the icing: 200g white chocolate, chopped 20g plain flour 235ml milk 225g butter, softened 200g caster sugar 5ml vanilla extract
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350F/175C/Gas Mark 4. Grease two 9 inch round cake tins.
In a bowl, sieve together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and the salt.
In a small pan, mix together the white chocolate and hot water over a low heat until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth, leave to cool to room temperature.
In a bowl, mix together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time beating well. Stir in the flour mixture and buttermilk alternately. Mix in the melted chocolate.
Put the cake batter into the cake tins and bake for approximately 30 minutes. Use a fork to see if the cake is cooked, if it comes out clean, then it’s ready, if it has some batter on it, cook it for a little longer.
When cooked take out of the tins and cool on a wire rack.
For the icing, in a pan, add the chocolate, flour and milk and melt over a medium heat, stirring constantly, until it is thick and creamy. Allow to cool completely.
In a bowl, mix together the butter, sugar and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Mix in the white chocolate mixture and beat until it’s thick and creamy. Spread between the two layers of cake and over the top and sides of the cake.
There you have it, your delicious and easy, white chocolate cake. Enjoy!

One type of chocolate cake that is sure to receive rave reviews is the terrific Black Forest Cake and especially this old-style recipe which originates from Germany. The following chocolate cake recipe and tips will provide you and your family or dinner guests with a confection they'll remember for years to come.
The Recipe for Black Forest Chocolate Cake
Cake Ingredients:
One half cup of softened butter;
One and one-quarter cups of sugar;
Two eggs;
One and one-quarter cups of all-purpose flour;
One-half cup of unsweetened cocoa (powder form);
One-half teaspoon baking powder;
One teaspoon baking soda;
One teaspoon of vanilla;
Three-quarters cup of buttermilk;
Cake Filling Ingredients:
Two cans cherry pie filling;
Three cups of whipping cream-chilled;
One-quarter cup of confectioner's sugar;
Shaved milk chocolate to garnish the cake;
Tips and method:
1. First preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit;
2. Line a nine inch cake pan with non-sticking paper;
3. Using an electric mixer beat butter that has been softened by allowing to stand at room temperature and sugar together until fluffy in consistency;
4. Add one egg at a time, mixing well after each egg is added.
5. Next add sifted flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and buttermilk. Mix well until batter is smooth with no lumps.
6. Pour the batter into the lined cake pan and bake in pre-heated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until middle is set. Approximate bake time is forty-five to sixty minutes. In order to determine if cake is done insert a toothpick in its centre. It should come out fairly clean with only a few crumbs. It is important that you do not over bake Black Forest chocolate cake.
7. Once the cake is cooled take a long knife that is serrated and cut the cake in three layers, equal in size. Tip: The cake will be easier to cut if you keep it in the refrigerator for two to three hours.
Prepare the cake's filling:
1. Take a colander and drain cherry pie filling in order to remove most the heavy juice.
2. Beat the whipping cream adding confectioner's sugar until thick.
3. Shave milk chocolate using a vegetable peeler. Place the shaved chocolate inside the refrigerator until you are ready to assemble the cake.
Cake Assemblage:
1. Place the first layer on the serving plate.
2. Spread approximately one fourth of the whipping cream on the initial layer and add half of the cherry filling on top of the cream.
3. Add the cake's second layer spreading one fourth of the cream on it plus the remainder of the cherry filling.
4. Add the cake's third layer and spread another one-fourth of cream to the top and apportion one fourth to the cake's sides. Press the chocolate shavings gently onto the cake's top and sides.
Tips:
• If you use three cake tins for the layers as opposed to one the bake time needs to be reduced.
• Using traditional cake flour instead of all-purpose flour will make your chocolate cake much lighter and fluffier.
• If you do not have cherry pie filling, you may substitute jam.
