Moist and Delicious Mexican Chocolate Cake Recipe | Easy and Crowd-Pleasing

[RachelNguyen]

I brought this to a friend's last night and it was a big hit! However, I had heard from a clustermate of mine that the cake was very dry, so I added a quarter cup of oil to the recipe and it came out GREAT! Moist and delicious. No problem unmolding from the fluted pan. I will add that from now on.

Also, the recipe calls for microwaving the cool whip and chocolate chips to make the glaze. I did it in my small sauce pan and that is how I would do it at a show so I could demo the cookware. It worked fine.

Thanks for the tip. I am planning on demoing this at my meeting on Monday.

Thanks for the tip on the oil. I thought it came out dry in the microwave also. Maybe the stone sucks in more moisture.

I did make a yellow cake using the same formula with the sour cream & eggs, but I put it in my Prof 12" skillet and baked it. First I put some raspberries & bluberries in the skillet with the cake batter over it. I threw a little cinnamon plus in the batter also.

I saw something that looked like that at the checkout stand the other day & improvised. I served it with cool whip & it was YUMMY! Very moist.

Both of these cakes sound delicious. I am planning on making the mexican choc cake for my dad's birthday on Mon. Thanks for the tip about the oil.

Use applesauce in place of oil, less applesauce makes it moist and very good.

I wish I could remember the ratio: but I use the little premade cinnamon applesauce cup. I know if you search you'd find the correct ratio. It makes it moist and less oil and works great!!! can't taste it either.
