Yield
8 - 10 Persons approx
Equipment you will need
two 9 inch layer cake pans
Ingredients
The Cake:
1 box chocolate devil's cake
1 box (3.9 oz) chocolate pudding mix
3 eggs
1 ¼ cup warm water
½ cup vegetable oil ( I use canola)
½ cup milk
½ cup of chocolate chips
The Frosting:
2 cups of whipping cream
2 tablespoons Castor Sugar
1 Teaspoon gelatin Powder
Food Colouring (optional)
Flavourings e.g Orange extract, vanilla etc (optional)
Please note :
You can use regular sugar in this recipe but it just takes a little longer for the granules to dissolve.
Instructions
1. Grease and line 3 x 8 inch round cake pans. Preheat oven to 180 C / 350 F/ Gas 4.
2. Put cake mix in a mixer. Add oil, eggs and water and mix on low until smooth.
3. Add the pudding mix and continue beating. Add the milk and chocolate chips.
4. Pour into prepared pans and bake for 35-40 mins or until skewer comes out clean. Cool on wire rack.
Make the frosting
5. In a cup, add 2 Tablespoons of whipping cream and the gelatin, stir and microwave for about 12 seconds. Give it a good stir and microwave again for a further 10 seconds and stir. Then add 3 Tablespoons of the cold whipping cream to the gelatin mix and stir. (This is to cool it down).
6. Pour the remaining cold whipping cream into a bowl with the sugar and whip up until soft peaks, then pour in the gelatin mixture and mix until all combined and almost stiff peaks.
It is at this point you can add colourings and flavorings, if using more than one colour, divide the cream into separate bowls and add the colours of your choice.
7. When ready, you add the frosting into a piping bag with the desired nozzle and decorate to your liking. Place in the fridge for a few hours to allow the frosting to firm up.
** The gelatin will continue to set the frosting when the cake is chilled in the fridge.
