Answer 1

We call this recipe Chocolate Crazy Cake. It's super easy, yummy, and very moist; and for the frosting you can go with store bought or make the glaze. Then go crazy decorating for the holiday to make it more special.

If you bake it as a cake, you have to serve it from the pan you bake in. It won't flip out to put on a platter. The last few times I've made it, I made it as cupcakes. Nicer to present and serve and kind of fun.

Cake:
1 1/2 c flour
1 c sugar
3T cocoa
1 t salt
1 t baking soda
1 T vinegar
6 T vegetable oil
1 t vanilla
1 c cold water

Preheat oven to 350.

Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl. (You can do it directly in the cake pan but I find it's messy to stir). Add wet ingredients and mix to combine.

For cake, put in an UNGREASED pan. (I use 9x13) For cupcakes, fill liners 3/4. Bake about 25 minutes or until toothpick test is clean. For cupcakes test them after 15 minutes.

Let cool completely before icing. Use any frosting you like, the original glaze recipe follows. For a 9x13 cake I double the recipe.

Icing:
1 1/2 c powdered sugar
2 T cocoa
1/4 t salt
2 T butter
2 T hot strong coffee

Put butter in bowl first and pour coffee over to help it melt. Combine all ingredients and whisk together. Then spread on cake.

Answer 2

You can shape this up any way you like. Basic no bake cheesecake recipe. Five to ten minutes prep, ready to eat within an hour of prep, and freezable if you want to get a leg up.

You start with graham crust, or make one with butter and crumbs, fitting into the pan of your choice. If you make a different size cheesecake, remember to make more filling. These amounts are for ONE 8 in graham crust.

Then you soften and whip 2 bricks of cream cheese, and you can use low fat or fat free if you like. Any brand, I use Great Value from Walmart.

Then add any number of things.

If you add bits, you need to sweeten it a little, and if you sweeten add some milk to cut the graininess of the sugar. Bits, meaning any type of chocolate chips, heath bits, oreo crumbs, etc.

If you use goop there is no need to sweeten because the mix-in combines thoroughly with the cream cheese and it will be sweet.

My fav is to use pudding, mixed for pie filling instructions. 2 small boxes per crust. My fav flavor this time of year is Jello's pumpkin spice. Another fav is a 13 oz jar of Nutella. You could also use peanut butter, preserves or jam, fruit topping, maple syrup, caramel sauce or any other ice cream sauce.

This is so good and so easy, and you can control the price by choosing store brands and inexpensive flavorings.
