HERSHEY’S COCOA BUNDT CAKE

This recipe was in an old Hershey’s recipe give-away.

1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup Hershey’s cocoa
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups buttermilk or sour milk*
1 tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate Glaze (recipe below)

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan. In the large mixer bowl, blend flour, sugar, dodoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; add remaining ingredients except chocolate glaze. Beat on low speed for 1 minute, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour batter into prepared Bundt pan. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan and place on a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle with the chocolate glaze.

Yield: 12 to 16 servings

*If you don’t have buttermilk, you can use 1 1/2 tablespoons vinegar plus milk to equal 1 1/2 cups. Allow to sit for a couple of minutes before using.

Chocolate Glaze:

1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 cup Hershey’s Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips or Mini-Chips

In a small saucepan, bring water and sugar to a rolling boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Remove pan from heat. Immediately add the chocolate chips. Stir mixture with a wire whisk until the chips are melted and the mixture is smooth. Cool until slightly thickened. Drizzle over top of cake.

Note: For a pretty presentation, add a few chopped pecans around the top of the cake over the glaze.

Enjoy!

I’m making the family Christmas fruit cake this year. Can I add chocolate or cocoa powder to it?

Mum wants me to use her old recipe – but I had a cake once that had chocolate added to it somehow and it was really yummy. Is there a way I can substitute some of the butter for melted chocolate? Or maybe swap some flour for cocoa? Anyone know how to do this?

What can I substitute for 1/2 cup cocoa in a chocolate cake recipe? Could I somehow use melted chocolate chips?

How come when I use hot cocoa mix as cocoa powder in chocolate cake, it doesn’t come out as dark as regular?

Like the cake doesn’t look dark like chocolate cake. It looks like a light brown. Its really frustrating!
