Chocolate Cake Extravaganza

At the end of June I had a Chocolate Cake Extravaganza, 

sharing all the exciting chocolate cakes I could find on Facebook. 

Here is a list of all the cakes I shared.

Hanneica’s Chocolate Cakes

Oil Chocolate Cake 

The secret to a moist chocolate cake lies in replacing butter with oil, and this easy recipe does just that. This is a straightforward, one-bowl batter that’s sure to become part of your recipe book forever. It’s the best chocolate cake for any of life’s sweet celebrations.

Marbled Mocha Cake 

In a few weeks time my son-in-law has a birthday and he has asked me for a special chocolate cake. To fulfil the commission I have been searching for chocolate cakes.... This was the only one I could find in my archives so I'll be sharing a whole lot of other cakes over the coming days. Enjoy!

Guest Post Chocolate Cakes

Cute Heart Brownies

When I visited Sandi I was hoping for chocolate cake, but alas, she hadn't baked any. However she did have these cute brownies... and gluten free to boot. Visit her a Fearless Dining.

Got it on the first try....gluten free brownies with vanilla salt. You can even cut these with a cookie cutter!!

Cookie Dough Brownie Cake

With a brownie cake, a cookie dough filling and chocolate ganache topping, this chocolate cake has got to be a winner!

Homemade Chocolate Layer Cake

Having been included in Good Housekeeping many times, this has got to be a good chocolate cake.

There is a reason this cake has reappeared in Good Housekeeping countless times since 1927. This version the cake is moister, & the frosting's flavor is more intensely chocolatey.

Double Chocolate Butterfinger Layered Cake

Jenny of Picky Palate shared this cake about 10 days ago..... it looks great. We can't get Butterfinger bars in South Africa, but I would use either a Crunchy, an Aero bar or a Flaky.

....I just died.

Fudge Brownie Cake

This Fudge Brownie Cake should fit the bill for a chocolate lover like my son-in-law... he said I could make it a ring cake, but I would rather make a round layer cake.... then he has to buy me new cake pans!  But just in case he doesn't, I have a ring pan...

Lazy Chocolate Cake

Just what the doctor ordered... chocolate and biscuits in a freezer cake! My sister and I used to make something similar for school cake sales when we were teenagers.... YUM! This delicious and easy to make chocolate confection comes from Hadia's Lebanese Cuisine. Thanks so much Hadia.

Lazy Cake..Easy, delicious and impressive. A chocolate-plain cookies cold cake, made using real chocolate. What I like about this cake is that you can freeze leftover pieces for other occasions or lunch snacks.

Dark Chocolate Cake With Marshmallow Frosting

I have to wonder if this is perhaps the cake I should make for my son-in-law's birthday. The cake part fits the bill, that I'm sure, and the marshmallows? Perhaps. I know if I buy marshies for baking I have to hide them away or he will devour the whole packet while watching movies on a Saturday night.

This comes from Yummy at best Yummy recipes.

Sarah of The Chef Next Door is so worth a visit. She has this delectable chocolate cheese cake..... I had to include it among my chocolate cake shares, it looks so yummy! Find the cake here...http://thechefnextdoorblog.blogspot.com/2013/02/chocolate-biscoff-cheesecake.html

Fudge Brownie Chocolate Cake

One person I have to visit today is Kathy at Melding Magic. If she can think up this amazing, easy chocolate concoction, what else does she have in store?

Do you have a hard time deciding between chocolate cake and fudge brownies? With this recipe, you don’t have to. Chocolate cake and fudgy brownie batter are combined, then topped off with a creamy ganache. This outrageous bundt cake is a chocoholic nirvana. http://bit.ly/PbZ75I

Grilled Orange Chocolate Cakes

I'm off to the Prairies now to meet my new friend, Ashleigh, Prairie Gal Cookin. I've seen chocolate cakes in all forms and sizes, or I thought I had, but this one takes the cake. I guess out there on the planes she didn't have any cake tins... so she baked me a cake in an orange skin. How ingenious! As we would say here in South Africa, " Vrou maak 'n plan" .....

Birthday Bliss

This cake is on a blog post entitled "Birthday Bliss". For a chocolate lover, this cake must be bliss. It certainly inspires me to create something similar for my son-in-law's birthday at the beginning of August. I'll have to find out what his favourite choc-bar is.... and will probably be told, "anything, as long as it's chocolate."

Olive Oil Fudge Brownies

I'm always wary of making brownies as my husband and daughter, who don't personally enjoy them (how? I don't get it) think they are rather expensive to make but this recipe only has half a cup of unsweetened cocoa powder and half a cup of chocolate chips for show! I've got to give them a try.

- the perfect crackly top, a fudgy middle and made with heart healthy Pompeian olive oil.
