Can I have some chocolate dessert recipes please?

This is my grandma's best ever chocolate cake...fudgy and rich. It is probably my favorite chocolate dessert:





Grandma鈥檚 Chocolate Cake


鈥⒙?cup softened margarine


鈥⒙?cup oil


鈥? cups sugar


鈥? cups flour


鈥? t. baking soda


鈥⒙?cup buttermilk


鈥? t. vanilla


鈥? eggs


鈥? cup cold water


鈥? heaping T. cocoa





1.Combine sugar, oleo, eggs and oil until mixed. Add remaining ingredients and beat until smooth.


2.Grease and cocoa a 13x9 inch cake pan and pour batter into pan. Bake at 375 for about 30 minutes.


3.A few minutes before the cake is done, prepare the frosting so that it is just done when the cake comes out of the oven (frosting recipe follows). Poke many holes in hot cake with a fork and slowly spoon frosting over cake, smoothing as you go so the frosting sinks into the fork holes and giving it time between pouring to sink into the holes.





Grandma鈥檚 Chocolate Frosting:


鈥⒙?cup margarine


鈥? T. milk (NOT buttermilk)


鈥? t. vanilla


鈥? T. cocoa


鈥? cups powdered sugar





1.Mix together all ingredients in a 2 quart saucepan and bring to a boil over medium (med-low) flame. Boil for 30-45 seconds only and pour hot frosting over hot cake as directed above.











Do you consider brownies dessert? I love these:





Truffle Brownies


Recipe courtesy Dan Smith and Steve McDonagh


Recipe Summary: Prep Time: 15 minutes, Inactive Prep Time: 1 hour, Cook Time: 20 minutes, Yield: 8 brownies or 32 mini triangles





2 eggs


1/2 teaspoon salt


1 cup sugar


1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract


1 stick margarine


3 ounces unsweetened chocolate chopped


1/2 cup all-purpose flour


Chocolate ganache for topping, recipe follows


Special equipment: 9-inch round foil cake pan


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.


Using a hand held electric mixer, beat the eggs and salt together in a large mixing bowl until frothy. Add the sugar and beat until the eggs are thick and pale yellow, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and beat an additional 30 seconds.


Put the margarine and chocolate in a microwave safe container and microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir to insure that the chocolate has melted. Microwave an additional 30 seconds, if needed.


With the mixer running, pour the melted chocolate into the egg mixture. Add the flour and beat 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat an additional 30 seconds.


Spray the cake pan with a pan release spray and pour in the brownie batter. Place the pan on the top rack of the oven and bake 15 to 20 minutes until the center is barely set.* Remove the pan from the oven and let cool. Top with the ganache and place in the freezer for at least 1 hour.


To serve, remove from freezer and slice immediately. Allow to come to room temperature before serving.


*Cook's Note: If tested with a toothpick the center will still be gooey. If tested by touch, the center will be soft. It will set once frozen.


Chocolate Ganache:


1/2 cup (4 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips


1/4 cup heavy cream


Put the chocolate chips and cream into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Remove the bowl and stir with a whisk or fork until well mixed. Use immediately. If using the ganache later it will need to be reheated. Yield: 3/4 cup








Paula Deen (www.foodtv.com) also makes two versions of a chocolate trifle. Someone at work made the one with toffee and it was sooooo good. The other one is similar but I haven't tried it. If you want to make it super easy, depending on the recipe use premade cake, Cool Whip, premade ice cream toppings, premade pudding, etc. It still tastes great!!
