FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a springform pan with cooking spray and line the bottom with a circle of parchment. Coat the top of the paper with the spray.
• Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler, stirring in 45-second intervals to avoid burning. Set aside to cool for several minutes.
• In the bowl of a mixer, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar and eggs until fluffy. With the mixer on low, add the cocoa powder, vanilla and salt. Slowly drizzle in the cooled chocolate mixture and mix until just combined.
• Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top. Rap the pan on the counter a couple of times to release any trapped air bubbles. Bake until just set on top, about 50 minutes. Remove and allow to cool completely, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Just before serving, remove the cake from the pan and place it on a platter. Sprinkle the top with sifted powdered sugar.

3 INGREDIENT CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Spray an 8-inch square cake pan with cooking spray, then line with parchment, allowing the parchment to hang over the sides. Spray the parchment paper with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the cookies and baking powder in a food processor and process until fine crumbs form. With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the milk. Continue to process until you have a smooth batter, about 2 minutes.
• Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes.
• For the icing: Meanwhile, combine the powdered sugar and milk in a large bowl. Whisk until smooth, then set aside.
• Allow the cake to cool slightly in the pan before carefully removing it from the pan using the parchment overhang and placing it on a platter.
• Allow to cool completely, about 30 minutes. Pour the icing over the top and spread it all over. Top with the sprinkles, then slice and serve.

TOP SECRET CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 10-cup Bundt pan with baking spray.
• Mix together the cake mix, milk, butter, eggs, chocolate chips and vanilla in a large bowl until completely combined. Pour into the prepared Bundt pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes.
• Let the cake cool for about 15 minutes before turning it out onto a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely, an additional 20 to 25 minutes.
• For the simple chocolate ganache topping: Meanwhile, heat the cream in a small pan until just bubbling. Add the chocolate chips to a small bowl and pour the hot cream over the top. Let sit for 1 minute, then mix until smooth.
• Transfer the cake to a cake stand or serving platter and pour the ganache over the top, allowing it to drip down the ridges. Sprinkle with rainbow sprinkles and serve.
