Best Chocolate Cake

(15.25-ounce) box devil's food cake mix ((I

all-purpose flour

salt

sugar

cocoa powder

coffee

butter, melted

vegetable oil

sour cream

eggs

vanilla extract

unsalted butter, room temperature

sugar (7 1/2 cups)

unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled to room temperature

heavy cream (or more)

Preheat the oven to 325°F and spray two 9-inch light-colored aluminum cake pans with nonstick baking spray with flour. Set aside.

In the bowl of a mixer, combine the cake mix, flour, salt, sugar, and cocoa powder until well mixed. Add the hot coffee and mix to combine.

Add the melted butter, oil, and sour cream, mix to combine. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix for about 2 minutes.

Divide the batter between the two prepared pans and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean.

Allow to cool for about 10 minutes in the pan, then turn the cakes out onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Add the butter to the bowl of a mixer and mix until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition.

Add the salt and cocoa powder. Mix well. Add the cooled chocolate and vanilla and mix well.

Add the heavy cream to thin the buttercream to spreading consistency and mix to combine. Add more cream to make it thinner or more powdered sugar if you get it too thin.

Once the cake is cool, trim off the domed part of each cake, and frost with the chocolate buttercream.

Chocolate Buttercream Frosting

A crunchy, salty, savory, sweet, and spicy assorted snack mix that I genuinely can&#039;t stop eating! Perfect for a cozy movie night paired with chilled white wine, or as salty midday snack.

Crunchy Vegan Snack Mix

popcorn (lightly salted)

pretzels

plantain chips (salted)

wasabi peas (vegan*)

Combine in a very large mixing bowl and gently toss with tongs until evenly distributed. Serve as is or warm in a 350 degree oven for about 5 minutes then dig in! This snack pairs nicely with some cold sparkling water (mango or lime are my favorites!) or a crisp glass of chilled white wine. Enjoy!

A Jiffy Hack with Duke's Mayo! Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix and mayonnaise come together to make this quick and easy cornbread recipe that&#8217;s so super moist on the inside and crispy and golden on the outside!

Better Than Homemade Cornbread

boxes Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix

Duke’s Mayonnaise

butter, melted (1/2 cup)

milk

Shortcut Caramel Pecan Cinnamon Rolls

unsalted butter

heavy cream

brown sugar

corn syrup

pecans

Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9x13-inch glass or ceramic baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

In a small pot over medium heat, add the butter, cream, brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Stir until the butter has melted. Bring to a brief boil to ensure all of the sugar has dissolved. Pour the mixture into the bottom of the prepared dish. Sprinkle the pecans evenly over the caramel mixture.

Open the cans of cinnamon rolls and set the icing aside. Separate the cinnamon rolls and place them in the dish on top of the caramel and pecans. They likely won&#39;t take up all the space in the dish, but will expand when baking. A few gaps are totally ok.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and allow the dish to rest for about 5 minutes to cool a bit. Place a large serving platter over the baking dish and invert the cinnamon rolls out onto the platter. Just be cautious as the caramel will still be very hot. I often cover the top with a large dish towel to help protect my hands when flipping it.

Drizzle the cinnamon rolls with the icing that came in the tube, if desired. Serve warm.

Homemade Neapolitan Ice Cream Cake for all your summer celebrations. Whip up this chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice cream cake with just 6 ingredients!

Neapolitan Ice Cream Cake

chocolate ice cream, softened

vanilla ice cream, softened

strawberry ice cream, softened

full sleeves Oreo cookies (with the cream!)

heavy whipping cream

Remove the ice cream from the freezer and set on counter for fifteen minutes to soften.

While the ice cream is softening, completely line 3 8 inch round pans with plastic wrap.

 Once the ice cream is softened, take one pint at a time and use an ice cream scoop t0 transfer the pint to prepared pan. Take a large flat object (we used a 6 inch pan but you could also use the back of your ice cream scoop, a glass, etc.) to pack down your ice cream until it is smooth and even on top. Repeat for each flavor until you have one chocolate pan, one strawberry and one vanilla. Place the layers in the freezer to set for at least 12 hours.

After you&#8217;ve placed the layers in the freezer, make the Oreo cookie crust. In a food processor, pulse 2 full sleeves of Oreos with 2 tablespoons of melted butter. The mixture should be crumbly, but hold together. Remove the chocolate ice cream layer from the freezer and transfer the Oreo cookie crust to the top of the chocolate layer, packing it down until the top is even and flat. Replace the chocolate layer in the freezer and allow to chill overnight with the other layers.

When you are ready to assemble your cake, make the &#8220;frosting.&#8221; Place the heavy whipping cream, vanilla, and salt in a stand mixer fit with the whisk attachment. Whisk until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes. Set aside.

Remove the chocolate layer from the plastic wrap first, placing the Oreo cookie crust side down onto a cake stand or large flat plate. Remove the strawberry layer next and place on top of the chocolate. Repeat with the vanilla.*

Using a large offset spatula or a metal spoon, liberally frost the cake with the whipped cream, making big swirls and covering the top and sides of the cake.  If you want the cute ice cream cone on top, take a cookie scoop and scoop a single ball on top of the frosted cake. Garnish with a cone. Serve right away or keep in the freezer for up to 1 week. Enjoy 🙂
