In early April of 2017, many Filipinos were horrified of the 5.6 and 6.0 magnitude earthquake that affects most Southern Luzon area cities and provinces. And due to this, I want to inspire people to have a positive view of such calamity by providing the most effective stress reliever in the world – eating a mouth watering cake. So through learning different recipe on how to prepare a cake, I encountered different suggested recipe of earthquake cake and by trying or combining such suggestions, here is the ingredients and procedure that might help you to make a very tasty and chocolaty cake that I named as earth shattering quake cake recipe.
Ingredients:
- 250 gram coconut (shredded)
- 375 gram pecans (chopped)
- 250 grams cashew nuts
- Chocolate chips or chocolate bars
- Cream cheese
- 3 ¾ cups of powdered sugar
- 125 gram butter
- 1 pack chocolate cake mix (or red velvet mix if prefer to have a red velvet flavor)
- Eggs (3 large, 4 medium or 5 small sized)
- 70 ml oil
- Non stick cooking spray
Procedure
- We need to preheat the oven from 300 to 350 degrees (start at 300 degrees then add 5 degrees after 20 seconds until you reach 350 degrees to have proper distribution of heat)
- In a pan or angel round pan, spray a non stick cooking spray and let it be for 5 minutes.
- Then spread the pecans, chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bars, coconut and cashew nuts (or almonds if prefer).
- Combine the chocolate mix (or red velvet mix) with eggs, cooking oil and water using a spatula and let it be.
- After 5 minutes, mix the cake mix using hand mixer for 3 minutes and let it be for another five minutes.
- Pour the cake mix on the top of the pan where the pecans, chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bars, coconut and cashew nuts are mixed.
- Get a saucepan, on a low heat, melt the butter with the cream cheese, pinch of salt and pepper to taste
- Spread the mixture on top of the cake mix and let it be for 10 minutes.
- Put it inside the oven and bake it for 30-45 minutes and wait until it is done. Toothpick and shaking is not useful for this recipe because it needs to stay gooey.
- Serve and enjoy the food.
