------------
1 pkg    Duncan Hines Chocolate Butter Cake mix or Deep Chocolate Cake mix

12 oz    semisweet chocolate chips
1        (4-ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
1 cup    sour cream

1 tsp    vanilla
1 recipe Dark Chocolate Glaze (follows)

Instructions:
-------------
Grease well and flour a tube, bundt, or 13 by 9 by 1-1/2 inch cake pan. 
For tube or bundt pan, have oven rack in lowest position.  For cake pan,
put rack in center of oven.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 

Coat nuts and chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of the cake mix and set
aside.  Combine cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, eggs, oil, water, and
vanilla and beat at medium speed with mixer for 3 minutes. 

Fold in chocolate chips and nuts.  Turn into pan and bake for 1 hour or

CHOCOLATE CAKE
==============

Ingredients:
------------
250 g   unsalted butter, melted
250 g   quality dark chocolate, broken into small blocks
200 g   castor sugar
1 cup   of hot espresso coffee (or one cup of hot water with a couple 
        of spoonfuls of instant coffee dissolved)
200 g   self-raising flour
50 g    cocoa powder
2 tsp   vanilla essence
2       eggs

Instructions:
-------------
Mix the butter, sugar, chocolate and coffee in a food processor until
well blended: the sugar should be dissolved, the chocolate well melted,
but it doesn't matter if there are still some solid chocolate pieces. 

Add the flour, cocoa powder, vanilla and eggs, and process until smooth. 

Put into a well-greased 25 cm cake tin, and bake in a 190 C oven for
about 35 minutes until done. 

Serve frugally, it is very rich.  If you are serving it as a dessert,
its richness is lightened with a rasberry sauce, or a sauce of
strawberriess and orange, or even stewed pears, whizzed up.  Whatever,
it needs something, and it sure isn't icecream.  If you are a pro, serve
it with an orange and Grand Marnier sorbet.

until stiff byt not dry.  Stir one quarter of the egg whites into the
chocolate mixture to lighted it; then fold all back into the remaining
egg whites. 

Fill the cake pan 3/4 full and tap gently on the table to distribute the
mixture evenly.  Bake for 25-30 minutes, watching carefully, until the

CHOCOLATE FUDGE CAKE
====================

Ingredients:
------------
6 oz.      unsweetened chocolate
6 Tbsp.    strong-brewed coffee
1 Tbsp.    pure vanilla extract
3/4 pound  (3 sticks) butter at room temp.
1 pound    dark brown sugar
1 c.       granulated sugar
6          large eggs
1 c.       sifted all-purpose flour
Confectioner's sugar for decorating
1 c.       heavy cream, whipped (optional)

Instructions:
-------------
Adjust the rack to the center of the over.  Butter a 10-inch springform
pan.  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  In a double boiler, over
simmering water, melt the chocolate with the coffee.  Remove from heat. 
When slightly cool, stir in the vanilla. 

(The melted chocolate and coffee may form a thick paste, but it
incorporates easily into the batter when added.)

In the large bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter with the brown
and white sugars until light and fluffy.  Separate the eggs carefully,
placing the whites in a large bowl.  Add the egg yolks one at a time to
the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.  Add the
chocolate mixture to the batter and mix well.  Stir in the flour, mixing
only until incorporated. 

Using clean, dry beaters, beat the egg whites until stiff and glossy but
not dry.  Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture,
handling them carefully in order not to deflate the egg whites.  Fold
only until no white streaks remain.  Gently turn the batter into the
prepared springform pan.  Smooth the top with a spatula. 

Place in the preheated oven, and bake for one hour or until the top
springs back when lightly touched.  Remove the pan from the oven and
cover the top of the cake with aluminum foil to keep it from hardening. 
Place the pan on a rack to cool.  When completely cool, store covered in
the baking pan until ready to serve.  A plastic bag, tightly closed
provides excellent storage. 

*Do not refrigerate!*

At serving time, remove the sides of the springform pan and place the
cake on a 12-inch cake platter.  Dust the top lightly with
confectioners' sugar.  (For a nice effect, you can place a lace doily or
stencil on top of the cake and then dust with the sugar over that. 
Carefully remove the doily or stencil and voila!  instant masterpiece!)
Top each portion with a dollop of cream. 

Note:
-----
Bake this cake at least two days before you plan to use it.  The flavor
and texture improve on standing.  It's time-consuming to prepare, but
well worth it!

This is from the profile of Ken Bergeron in the Fall issue of Vegetarian
Gourmet.  It's big--two of these would be enough for a party of at least
a couple dozen--it's yummy, and the hardest part is finding the graham
crackers (see below). 

CHOCOLATE ICEBOX CAKE
=====================

Ingredients:
------------
8 C   soy milk (You can use any flavor for this, though I've only used a
                50/50 blend of vanilla and plain.  I think all vanilla 
                would be too intense and carob wouldn't go well with the 
                chocolate.)
1 C   arrowroot or cornstarch (I've only used arrowroot--I think cornstarch
                would give a grainy texture.)
2 t   vanilla
1     drop almond extract  (seriously--it's strong stuff)
2 T   soy margerine
2 C   vegan chocolate chips  (I can't get Barat chips in this shitty
                town, but Sunspire are plenty good.)

1/2 C maple syrup (He says you can use any other liquid sweetener, but I
                haven't tried. Brown rice syrup would be my second choice.)
2 C   toasted coarselly chopped walnuts.
22    5"x2 1/2" graham crackers

Instructions:
-------------
Bring 6C soymilk to a low boil, stirring often to prevent a skin from
forming.  Reduce to a simmer.  Disolve arrowroot in reserved soymilk and
add to the pot.  Add all remaining ingredients except nuts and crackers
and heat through until you have a well blended chocolate pudding.  Stir
in 1 1/2C walnuts.  Cover the bottom of a 13"x9"x2" baking pan w/a layer
of pudding and cover w/a layer of crackers.  Layer remaining pudding and
crackers and garnish w/remaining nuts.  Chill at least two hours before
serving. 

Note:  
-----
It's a serious bitch finding vegan graham crackers as every major brand
has sugar and most 'natural' brands have honey.  It's an even bigger
bitch finger *kosher* vegan graham crackers.  There's one brand I've got
a couple times in OR, but in this urban desert I've often come to the
verge of karate kicking down a store shelf in frustration.  Anyone got a
graham cracker recipe?

CHOCOLATE LOVER'S CHEESECAKE
============================

Ingredients:
------------
1 1/2 cups  graham cracker crumbs 
1/3 cup     sugar
1/3 cup     melted margarine or butter
2           8oz packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup     cocoa
3/4 cup     sugar
2           eggs
1 tsp       vanilla
1 cup       chocolate chips  (6 oz)
8 oz        sour cream
2 tblsp     sugar
1 tsp       vanilla

Instructions:
-------------
Preheat oven to 375F

Combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar.  Stir in melted margarine or
butter.  Press into the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 9 inch
springform pan. 

Blend cream cheese, cocoa, sugar until light and fluffy.  Beat in eggs
and vanilla until smooth.  Stir in chocolate chips.  Pour into
springform pan.  Bake at 375F for 20 minutes. 

Let cheesecake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes.  Preheat
oven to 425F. 

Blend sour cream, sugar, vanilla until smooth.  Spread on top of
chocolate portion of cake.  Bake for 10 minutes. 

Cool on wire rack.  Loosen cake from sides of pan with a knife or
spatula.  When cake is completely cool, remove sides of pan. 
Refrigerate before serving.  Store leftovers in the refrigerator. 

* I almost burned out the motor on my cheap, hand held mixer trying to
blend the cream cheese mixture.  I found that it was better for me to
use a wooden spoon on the cream cheese/cocoa/sugar and then use the
mixer with the eggs. 

** I'm quoting this from memory but we just made it 2 weekends in a row
so I am confident that the measurements are correct.  I'm pretty sure
about the oven temperatures but I will double check and repost if they
are incorrect. 

*** I know the person who made the request isn't looking for suggestions
for toppings, but this is pretty good with cherries!

CHOCOLATE MAYONNAISE CAKE
=========================

Ingredients:
------------

Sift together:
--------------
2 cups      flour
1 cup       sugar
1/2 cup     cocoa
1 1/2 tsp   baking powder
1 1/2 tsp   baking soda

Add:
----
1 cup       (+~2 tbsp) ice water
2 tsp       (+) real vanilla extract

When mixed thoroughly, fold in:

1 cup       real mayonnaise

Instructions:
-------------
If you're using a mixer, fold the mayonnaise in by hand.  Stir just til
mixed; do not overbeat.  Pour into a greased and floured (or Baker's
Joy'ed) 13x9x2 pan and bake 30 minutes at 350 F.  Cake is done when it
starts to pull away from the sides of the pan and the top starts to
crack; you can also use a toothpick test; do not overcook.  Cool five
minutes before removing from the pan. 

Frost with canned frosting or homemade butter frosting:
-------------------------------------------------------
1/2 stick   butter
1 lb        powdered sugar
(dash salt)
1/2 cup     cocoa (optional)
2 tbsp      (+) milk
1 tsp       (+) vanilla

Instructions:
-------------
Cream butter, 1/2 sugar, and salt.  Add cocoa and 1 tbsp milk.  Cream. 
Add sugar and milk til the consistency is right and then beat at mixer's
highest speed.  Frost cake immediately. 

Note:
-----
This is a traditional family recipe.  I think my grandma got it off of a
Hellman's label forty years ago.  It is very dark, very rich, and
requires *lots* of milk and/or ice cream to wash it down. 

It is a fragile cake, and so doesn't lend well to layers (it's possible,
but you must be very careful).  We usually make it in a 9x13x2 pan and
frost it in the pan so that it's easy to transport to family gatherings. 

It is also a very easy cake; you can make it in one bowl with a wooden
spoon.  Be sure to use real mayonnaise (not light) and cold water so
that the mayonnaise doesn't separate.  The mayonnaise is the shortening
and the eggs.

------------

Crust:
------
1 cup     chocolate wafer crumbs
1/4 tsp   ground cinnamon
3 tbsp    butter or margarine, melted

Filling:
--------
4 pkgs   (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup  sugar
4        eggs
1/2 cup  sour cream
1 tsp    vanilla
1 cup    semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tbsp   orange-flavored liqueur
1/2 tsp  grated orange peal

Instructions:
-------------
Heat oven to 325 F.  Mix crumbs, cinnamon, and butter.  Press onto
bottom of 9-inch springform pan.  Bake 10 minutes. 

Increase oven temperature to 350 F.  Beat cream cheese and sugar at
medium speed with electric mixer until well blended.  Add eggs, one at a
time, beating well after each addition.  Blend in sour cream and
vanilla. 

Separate batter into 2 equal parts.  Blend chocolate into one part. 
Blend liqueur and peel into remaining part.  Pour chocolate batter over
crust.  Bake 30 minutes. 

Reduce oven temperatue to 325 F. 

Spoon remaining batter over chocolate layer.  Continue baking another 30
minutes.  Turn off oven and prop open oven door; remove cheesecake when
oven has cooled.  Loosen cake from rim of pan. 

I think cheesecake in general is best when chilled over night, but it is
not necessary.  When I made this this past weekend, I garnished it with
dollops of fresh whipped cream and twisted slices of orange. 

Prep time: 25 minutes plus refrigeration.
Baking time: 1 hour.

CHOCOLATE RUM ESPRESSO CHEESECAKE
=================================

Ingredients:
------------

Crust:
------
20        amaretti macaroons or 3/4 c graham cracker crumbs
2 1/2 oz  (1/2 c) blanched, toasted almonds or hazelnuts
2 tbs     sugar
2 oz      unsalted butter, melted
4 oz      semisweet chocolate

Filling:
--------
1 lb      semi or bittersweet chocolate
1 1/2 c   cream
3 tbs     dutch process cocoa
3 tbs     instant espresso powder (optional)
1 c       sugar
1/2 c     rum (or 3/4 to 1 c Frangelico or Irish cream)
4 large   eggs, lightly beaten
2 lb      cream cheese at room temperature

Instructions:
-------------     
Adjust a rack one-third up from the bottom of the oven and preheat the
oven to 375 degrees (F). 
     
Process the macaroons in a food processor or blender until they are
about as fine as graham cracker crumbs.  Transfer the crumbs to a mixing
bowl and process the nuts and sugar together until rather fine.  Mix the
nuts with the macaroon crumbs.  Add the melted butter and stir to
moisten the crumbs evenly. 
     
Turn the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan. 
Spread the crumbs evenly over the bottom of the pan with your fingertips
and then press down firmly to form a compact crust.  Bake for 8 minutes
then set aside to cool.  When cool, set the pan in the freezer to chill
the crust. 
     
Meanwhile, cut the chocolate into small pieces and place it in the top
of a double broiler over warm water on low heat.  Stir frequently until
melted and smooth.  Pour the melted chocolate over the chilled crust and
quickly spread it with the bottom of a spoon til it covers the crust,
stopping 1/4 inch away from the edge.  Brush melted butter onto the
sides of the pan and return to the freezer. 
     
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 
     
Cut the chocolate for the filling into small pieces and place them in
the top of a double boiler over warm water on low heat.  Let cook until
almost completely melted and then stir until smooth.  Remove from the
double boiler and set aside. 
     
Scald 1/2 c of the cream over medium heat.  When a skin forms on top of
the cream, strain or sift in the cocoa and espresso powder.  Whisk until
smooth and cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly, until slightly
thickened.  Stir in the rum and the remaining cream and set aside. 
     
Beat the cream cheese til it is soft and fluffy, scraping the beaters
once during the process.  Add the sugar and beat, scraping the bowl
occasionally, until the mixture is smooth.  Add the chocolate and then
the cream mixture while beating the mixture on low speed.  Continue
beating until completely smooth, scraping the bowl occasionally.  Add
the eggs and beat just til incorporated. 
     
Remove the pan from the freezer and wrap it in two layers of aluminum
foil.  Place the pan inside a larger, shallow pan.  Pour the filling
into the pan and rotate it gently to level the filling.  Place the pan
in the oven.  Before closing the door, pour 1/2 to 1 inch of water into
the larger pan. 
     
Bake the cheesecake for one hour (the cake will not be set all the way
but will still move rather liquidly when moved).  Turn off the oven and
let the cake stand for an hour in the oven with the door open slightly. 
     
Remove the cake from the oven and remove the springform pan from the
larger pan.  Remove the foil and let the cheesecake sit until it has
cooled to room temperature.  Chill the cake, uncovered, overnight before
cutting it. 
     
The cheesecake may be glazed with seedless fruit preserves that have
been melted and then boiled to reduce slightly.  Brush the glaze over
the top and sides of the cake.  Serve topped with whipped cream. 

Notes:
------
You can use any liquer you want in this recipe, just adjust the amount
added according to how strong the flavor of the liquor is (I've even
made this with Boggs cranberry liquer).  I generally leave out the
espresso powder as the flavor of the liquer and the chocolate go well by
themselves.  You may also want to leave out the alcohol and just use
espresso powder to flavor it, if you do so, increase the amount of cream
added to compensate for the reduction in liquid. 
   
When the recipe says to beat the cream cheese til light and fluffy,
you'd better believe it means it, the longer you beat the cream cheese
mixture, the creamier the cake will be. 
    
I generally do not use a glaze or whipped cream on this as I find the
complex flavours of the ingredients stand for themselves.  You can also
leave out the chocolate that is poured on the crust though I usually do
it as it adds a nice dimension and keeps the crust more crisp. 
    
As a final warning, if properly baked, this cheesecake literally cannot
be cut the same day it is made.  It must set up in the refrigerator
overnight or it will be a sloppy mess.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE THREAT
=======================
(this is a mousse cake)

Ingredients:
------------
1/3 c.      unsalted butter
2 squares   unsweetened chocolate
1 c.        sugar
2           eggs, beaten well
2/3 c.      unbleached flour
1/2 tsp.    baking powder
1/4 tsp.    salt
1 tsp.      vanilla
Chocolate mousse filling (see below)
1 c.        heavy cream, for frosting

Instructions:
-------------
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease and flour an 8- or 9-inch square
baking pan.  Set aside.  Melt butter and chocolate over low heat or in

prepared pan. 

Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, until cake is baked but still
very moist.  Then cool. 

Remove the cake from the pan and cut into strips wide enough so they can
line most of the side of a 2-quart souffle dish or charlotte mold.  Cut
strips through center to separate into two thinner halves.  Lin the
bottom and sides of diesh with the strips.  Don't worry about piecing;
the spaces won't show. 

Spoon the mousse filling into the cake-lined dish.  Wrap the dish well,
and chill overnight in the fridge or freezer.  To serve, first defrost
the cake, if frozen.  Remove it from the pan, first loosening the sides
with a knife, then dipping the pan partly into hot water to loosen the
cake so it can be turned outonto a serving plate.  Whip the cup of heavy
cream until stiff and decorate top and parts of sides with cream.  Serve
in small slices.

1 1/2 pounds  semisweet chocolate

1/2 c.        heavy cream

boiler over hot water.  Remove from heat.  Beat the yolks until pale in
color, and stir them into chocolate.  Stir in the coffee liqueur.  Cool. 
Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry.  Whip 1/2 c.  cream until
stiff.  Fold the whites an the cream into the chocolate mixture.  Yield:
