Copycat Zippys Chocolate Dream Cake Recipe 395

CHOCOLATE DREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Combine cocoa powder in hot water in mixing bowl. Stir to dissolve; cool.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line bottoms of 3 9-inch round cake pans with parchment (or make 2 cake layers and 12 cupcakes).
• Add oil, vanilla and egg yolks to cooled chocolate mixture. Whisk until smooth.
• In large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda and salt.
• Add chocolate mixture to flour mixture and whisk until smooth.
• To make meringue: In a clean mixing bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Add sugar and beat on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gradually add meringue to chocolate batter and stir until incorporated. Pour into baking pans and bake 30 minutes, until a pick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack, then remove from pans.
• Frost between layers, top and sides with whipped cream. Use a vegetable peeler to peel curls off sides of chocolate bar and use to garnish cake.

BONNIE'S BLUE RIBBON CHOCOLATE DREAM CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Bake cake according to package directions for a 9X13 inch pan, then poke holes in it with a wooden spoon handle about an inch apart.
• 2. Crush the chocolate bars, reserve 1/4 cup for the top.
• 3. In the microwave, heat up the caramel in a pyrex glass measuring cup until it can be poured easily. (about one minute) Slowly pour the warm topping mixture over the top of the warm cake, letting it sink into the holes, then pour the Eagle brand sweetened condensed milk over it. (Be sure the condensed milk is at room temperature so it will pour.)
• 4. Sprinkle the crushed chocolate bars liberally across the entire cake while still warm. You can do chunks or crumbs. (I like chunks.)
• 5. Let the cake cool completely on a rack in the fridge. Then top with whipped cream frosting--recipe below. Refrigerate and serve right from the pan. Flavors meld the best when allowed to sit overnight.
• 6. Frosting: Whip the 1 1/2 cup of heavy cream and the 1/4 cup of sugar until very stiff. Frost and decorate the top of the cake with some more chocolate toffee bar chunks or pulverized candy, and then add swirls of caramel topping.
• 7. Cooks tip: I use a Devil's Food Cake mix that is 50% less fat and you would never know it! (Every little bit helps!) Enjoy!
