Can i use hot chocolate powder to make chocolate cakes?

Question

i havent got any cocoa powder but i thought its basically the same thing. please help!

Answer 1

It's not the same thing.  If you want a true, rich chocolate flavour, use cocoa powder or baking chocolate.  Hot chocolate powder contains additives and sugar and would give a very weak flavour.

Answer 2

Yes, there will be no problem.

Answer 7

  

HOT CHOCOLATE CAKE:

3 large eggs

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

3/4 cup prepared hot chocolate(your favorite kind)

1 TBSP butter

1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 325F.

In a large bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar until very thick; the batter should fall from the beaters in a thick ribbon. Beat in the vanilla.

While you’re beating the eggs and sugar, heat the hot chocolate and butter in a small saucepan to just simmering. Add the hot chocolate mixture to the egg mixture in a slow, steady stream as you continue beating.

In a seperate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring utnil they’re just combined.

Pour the batter into a lighty greased 9 inch cake round. Bake for 50 minutes, or until the cake is a deep golden brown and starting to pull away from the sides of the pan. Remove the cake from the oven and cool it in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Run a knife around the sides of the pan.

To assemble. Chop up cake into squares or just tear it up. Place a layer of cake into a coffee mug. Put in a layer of whipped cream(spiked with peppermint schnapps), then crushed candy canes(yes, I have them year round…love those after Christmas sales) and then hot fudge. Then more cake, candy canes, and so on…
