Triple Chocolate Cake

June 28, 2014 by pictureperfectcooking

A few weekends ago, I was having a huge chocolate craving so I searched my Recipes to Try board on Pinterest for something new.  I had pinned the Triple Chocolate Poke cake from The Two Bite Club a while ago and decided this is what I wanted to try.  Oh, my goodness, I am so glad I did! 

This is a delicious cake made completely from scratch and it is really easy.  Do you have a birthday or other special occasion coming up?  This would make a great special treat for the chocolate lover in your life.

Triple Chocolate Cake 2

For the cake:

2 cups granulated sugar

1 3/4 cups all purpose flour

3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 1/2 tsp. baking soda

1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. salt

2 eggs

1 cup milk

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 tsp. vanilla extract

1 cup boiling water

For the glaze:

1 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup butter

1/4 cup milk

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 piece baking chocolate, chilled

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare a 9×13ā€ baking pan.  In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt.  Add in the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla.  Beat for 3 minutes with an electric mixer.  Stir in the boiling water.  The batter will be thin.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.  Cool for at least 10 minutes.

Add all of the glaze ingredients except the piece of baking chocolate to a medium saucepan over medium heat.  Stir together and bring to a boil.  Boil for 1 minute and then cool for 5 minutes.  Beat the glaze with an electric mixer for 3 minutes after it has cooled.

Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes in the cake.  Pour the glaze over the top of the cake making sure to get some of the glaze into each hole.  Use a rubber spatula to carefully spread the glaze over the entire cake.  Grate the piece of baking chocolate over the top for a little decoration.  Slice and enjoy!
