Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

Looking for a special treat? One slice of this heavenly cake provides a lot of chocolatey flavor.

How to Make a Triple Layer Cake

Grease and flour 3 (9-inch) round cake pans. Line bottoms of pans with waxed paper. Prepare cake batter as directed; pour evenly into prepared pans. Bake at 350°F 20 to 23 min. or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Double frosting recipe. Fill and frost cake layers with prepared frosting.

How to Test Cake for Doneness

To prevent overbaking, check cakes or cupcakes at the minimum baking time indicated in recipe. Insert a toothpick in center of cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If it does not come out clean, return to the oven for a few additional minutes before rechecking.

This is great! The best part is the icing. It is not too overly sweet and is great on the cake. I had some left over and ate it as it was because of it not being so sweet. My guests loved it!

I baked this chocolate cake for a family gathering on July 4, 2003 and everyone loved it so much. My family went on and on about how good it tasted and how moist it was. I tasted the cake and I must say, it was delicious. Everyone wants me to bake another one. This chocolate cake truly deserves a superb rating.

This is a delicious chocolate cake!!Very tasty and moist; my family loved it. I found that the icing was a bit too sweet. Maybe I can adjust the confectioners sugar; any suggestions?
