Layered chocolate chip fudge cake

Layered chocolate chip fudge cake A few weeks ago, I made this cake eggless, without using cooking oil in the batter, and instead, I opted to use ¾ cup of applesauce, mixed with one cup of water and a box of dark chocolate fudge cake mix. The cake turned out to be a fudge lover's dream. It was so fudgy, moist, and delicious. Today, I am making the same cake but I am following the box ingredients list, then adding a ½ cup of chocolate chips to the batter. I chose to use sugar-free milk chocolate chips in this recipe for contrast since the cake is already going to be dark chocolate. I also used a rectangular cake pan, 9-Inch by 13-Inch, to bake the cake in. You can use a square or round cake pan if you prefer. Ingredients: 1 dark fudge chocolate cake mix 3 eggs 1 cup of water ½ cup canola oil ½ cup of chocolate chips, and extra chocolate chips for the frosting 2 containers of cream cheese frosting  Cooking spray & enough flour to dust the cake pan Instructions:  First, preheat th

Kooky cake (War Cake)

Kooky cake The Wacky Cake, also known as the War Cake, originated during the World War 2 era. This was a time of food rationing for the war effort. During this period, each person was only allowed  one egg  per week. Many food products were scarce. So, many recipes had to be altered, and families had to adapt with the time. The Kooky Cake is my alternative for the World War 2 dessert, which was known as the Wacky Cake. Back in the day, this cake wasn't made with Splenda; instead, it was made with granulated white sugar. There is no butter, milk, or eggs in the actual cake itself. However, I do use butter in my homemade sugar-free chocolate frosting. If you don't know how to make homemade sugar-free powdered sugar, keep reading because I will be including my recipe for it, as well as my sugar-free chocolate frosting recipe. Kooky Cake Ingredients: 1 ½  cups of self-rising flour 4 tablespoons of cocoa powder 1 cup granulated Splenda 1 ½  teaspoon of pure vanilla 1 tab

Old-Fashioned Peach Cake

Old fashioned peach cake This is a revived, classic World War II recipe that uses canned peaches. This recipe is not fancy, although it is peachy-delicious. It's very similar to a peach cobbler but even better. When the classic peach cake is completely cooled, sugar-free powdered Splenda (substitute) is sprinkled over the top of the cake. Ingredients: 1 large can of (no sugar added) halved peaches, and the peach juice (sliced peaches can also be used) 1/3 cup shortening 3/4 cup Splenda 2 eggs, beaten well 1 ½ cups of self-rising flour 1/2 cup of milk (Vanilla flavored oat milk works great in this recipe.) 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla Powdered Splenda (or powdered sugar, for dusting the cake) Instructions: First, start by preheating the oven to 350ºF. Then butter a square cake pan generously. Add the peaches and the peach juice to a saucepan, and heat for two minutes; just until the peach juice starts getting bubbly.  Next, use a large spoon to spread the peaches and the j

Gin Lee Original- Chocolate Eclair Cake

Gin Lee Original- Chocolate Eclair Cake Gin Lee Original- Chocolate Eclair Cake This cake couldn't be any easier to make. Seriously! I used a sugar-free chocolate fudge cake mix, cream cheese, cocoa powder, one container of sugar-free vanilla frosting, and topped it with some chunky chopped morsels of Russell Stover Sugar-free Peacan Delights. The cake seriously resembles the taste of a Ding-Don cupcake. However, I would say it's much... Um... Yummier!  This is the first time that I had ever made this delicious cake. One of the things that I would probably do differently the next time I make it- would be to finely chop the Russell Stover Pecan Delights. The reasons why is because this cake has to be kept cold in the refrigerator, and the pecan delights chopped in chunkier size pieces tends to get hard.  Ingredients: .  1 box chocolate fudge cake mix (I used sugar-free)  Follow the box cake mix instructions but add 3-4 large eggs instead of whatever the box says to add. .  3-4 l
