Even at high altitude (5,700 ft) it turned out well. I used the 9 x 13 pan and it was done after about 31 minutes. I glazed it with the chocolate frosting at Hershey's website but I added a 1 1/2 tsp almond extract and topped with toasted, sliced almonds. MmmmMMMM. The only thing this lacks is a tall glass of milk! I just made this cake and it is gorgeous! Even at high altitude (5,700 ft) it turned out well.

I'm wondering what you used to frost this lovely cake. Is it just ganache or did you frost it first and then drizzle the ganache over the frosting? Thanks for the great recipes, and I'm delighted to find your sight. Cheers! Mary This looks like a must do! …and must eat. I’m wondering what you used to frost this lovely cake.

It will be 2 tiers covered with grey buttercream for a batman theme. I was planning on using my go to buttercream recipe: (can't remember exact measurements, but you get the idea) 1 cup shortening 1 cup butter 1 tsp popcorn salt 1 tsp vanilla 1 tsp butter flavoring 1 tsp almond extract 2 lb conf sugar 1/3 cup water 1/3 cup coffee creamer So what I was wondering was will this chocolate cake be ok with the buttercream frosting on it instead of chocolate?

I am printing this out and I'm going to bake it before too long. Your cake and ganache are gorgeous. I love a rich moist chocolate cake and this one looks like just the perfect recipe.

He asked for a chocolate cake for the occasion, and after checking out this recipe, it seemed that it would more than fit the bill. Anyway, we made it a day ahead and unveiled it to our party guests with lots of enthusiasm--and I must tell you that it was super! This cake is ridiculously moist and chocolatey. I bake for my family quite a bit and I heard several times that this was my best home-made cake to date. Just as a note, I did not use ganache to cover the cake, but instead used my tried and true chocolate buttercream frosting (I thought that might be more appealing to young kids). Definitely give this recipe a try--you will definitely get amazing rewards for a modest bit of work! Yesterday was my middle son’s fourth birthday.
