In this article, we’ll cover everything you need to know about smoker desserts: what they are and how they’re made!
Smoked Chocolate Cake
Smoked Chocolate Cake
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I used Hershey’s Special Dark)
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, softened to room temperature (1 stick)
- 2 ounces semisweet chocolate chips or chunks (I used Ghirardelli 60% cacao)
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8×8 inch square pan with nonstick cooking spray or butter, then line the bottom with parchment paper cut to fit exactly inside your pan.
Set aside until ready for use later in this recipe’s instructions below! In a large bowl combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda & salt until well combined then set aside until needed later during preparation process below.
In another medium sized mixing bowl beat together softened butter & sugar until light yellow color forms before adding melted chocolate chips into mixture along with beaten eggs & vanilla extract until fully incorporated into batter mixture which should now look like thick cake batter rather than runny liquidy substance like earlier versions did when first mixed together only minutes ago!
Pour half of batter mixture evenly distributed throughout bottom layer only leaving enough room around edges so nothing spills over onto sides when baking process begins soon enough.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes then rotate after 10 minutes have passed by removing from oven every 5 minutes thereafter until done cooking time has ended completely which should take roughly 35 total minutes depending upon how hot your oven runs plus additional time needed for cooling down once finished cooking process has been completed successfully.
Remove from heat source once done baking process has been completed successfully.
Let cool completely before slicing into squares approximately three inches long x two inches wide x one inch deep each piece being cut horizontally across widthwise lines instead vertically through lengthwise cuts would mean less surface area exposed directly underneath crusty outer shell since we want maximum enjoyment while eating these delicious treats without getting burned by melted sugar crystals forming on top surface due its proximity directly underneath hot air currents generated within oven itself.
