I usually use fresh ingredients when I am baking, but sometimes if I want to make a cake quickly with the wow factors, they are a few products I can rely on. For a quick chocolate cake, you can't beat "Betty Crocker Super Moist Devil's Food Cake Mix" and "Betty Crocker Rich & Creamy Chocolate Fudge Frosting" for a rich but not too sweet moist chocolate cake. You can use it to make cupcakes, sandwich cakes, of a big cake like what I have done!
You have to add 3 eggs (preferably free range) and 70ml oil in to the mix, make sure the mix is beat into a smooth mixture (3 mins using a electric mixer, 5 mins by hand). Bake in a lined round cake tin in an 180 oven for 40mins or until a skewer you put in comes out try with no cake mix on it.
Now comes the fun bit! Make sure the cake is completely cool before you start your decorating. First put some of the frosting on your cake board or plate, then put the cake on it upside down, because the bottom is flatter hence easier for decorating. Spread icing generously on top and around the cake. Then surround the whole cakes with chocolate fingers.
What to put in the middle of the cake is up to you. I love the combination of chocolate and berries. If you are crazy about chocolate, you can put chocolate truffles in the middle. For children party, you can put chocolate animals and mini eggs for Easter.
