Bar One Chocolate Cake Recipe is the best cake recipe for freezing. It is moist, rich, and decadent without being overly sweet. I found this recipe a few years ago and have been making it often because it makes tremendous trifles, cupcakes, and topping for ice cream, with or without a little alcohol for spiked chocolate cake goodness!
The recipe is a delicious chocolate cake recipe perfect for people who want to put it into the freezer. It is quick, easy, and made with simple ingredients, which will make it a perfect cake for any time.
This cake is different from many cake recipes as the crust is made from heavy cream, not butter. This makes it easy to make, and its flavor can be easily replicated when making another chocolate cake. The instructions on the package will show you how to do this.
You can enjoy a heavenly chocolate taste that will satisfy your sweet tooth with just three ingredients, but it doesn’t have to be eaten for breakfast or dessert. It could be used for parties and other gatherings where you want a chocolate taste.
How To Make Bar One Chocolate Cake Recipe?
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 25-35 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 pkg. chocolate cake mix
- 1 (8oz) package of cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 3 large eggs beaten in a large bowl (use 2 egg whites for silver dollar pancakes)
- 4 tablespoons oil (vegetable or canola will work, but use a neutral-tasting oil like canola)
- 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 4 tablespoons melted Cocoa Chocolate Coconut Butter
Directions:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare 9 x 13 baking pans by spraying with cooking spray.
Step 2: In the mixing bowl, combine cake mix and sour cream. Mix thoroughly. Add in eggs, oil, and 4tbsp cocoa powder mix until combined with no streaks.
Pour into the prepared baking pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (for the last 5 minutes of baking, I cover mine with foil). Let cool completely.
Step 3: While the cake is baking, make the frosting by combining the melted Cocoa Chocolate Coconut Butter with 4tbsp of Cocoa Powder in a medium bowl. Let this sit for 2 minutes to thicken. Then add in cream cheese, 1 cup sour cream, or Greek Yogurt and mix until combined.
I fill my piping bag with this mixture and frost it onto the cake as we like it (I typically will pipe on each layer or skewer first, then frost on top).
Step 4: You may keep the cake in the freezer following my tips on freezing entrees. Yes, I have done this, with good results!
Tips & Tricks: I cannot believe how moist it is without butter! The recipe doesn’t call for any butter or oil to be used, so you’ll want to leave out those ingredients.
