Need Birthday Cake Recipe!

[Luvbeingamommy]

My birthday is Sunday and my husband wants to make a cake for us, that my family will eat also.

I've made a decent cake with a Bob Mills Mix, kind of just okay though. I have a Betty Crocker yellow cake mix. My dh wants to make something really yummy though, maybe from scratch?? My friend says her mom makes a really good german choc. cake. Any recipes to share??

Thanks!!

How about a flourless chocolate cake? Those are fancy.

I have had good luck with this cake. It is incredibly rich - a little goes a long way. Great with whipped cream or ice cream, with or without the raspberries.

The Betty Crocker chocolate cake mix

with coconut milk instead of the milk and oil (for moisture), 1 cup of zucchini (for a less grainy, more sticky texture) and a little bit of cinnimon ( to tone down the cocoa powder taste).

This was better than regular, gluteny chocolate cake.

We used Betty Crocker's butter cream frosting, smashed pecans and a little bit of the cinnimon on top.

For my German Chocolate Cakes I use this filling recipe and Betty Crockers chocolate cake mix. For several layers of cake you would need to use two boxes. This recipe is from Cook

Double the recipe for a 2 layer cake. I frosted it with the 7 minute frosting like in the pic.

I made the same 2 layer cake and turned it into a black forest following rissaroos directions found here:

or just use the chocolate cream cheese frosting, it is soooo delish!!!

When I make a single cake I like to add 3/4 cup choc or pb chips.
