Quick and Easy Chocolate Cake Recipes

Busy cooks, don't despair! You do have time to bake cakes for your hungry family.  Here are a couple of quick and easy chocolate cake recipes to satisfy even the most difficult cake and/or chocoholic in your family!  The Rocky Road Cake is quick and easy yet very tasty.  The Chocolate Chip Snack Cake is also an easy treat.  No frosting or decorating these cakes.

Materials:
1 box (2-layer size) dark chocolate cake mix

3 cups miniature marshmallows
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tbsp milk


Procedures:
Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions and bake in a 9 x 13-inch baking pan. When cake is done (a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean), remove from the oven and sprinkle the marshmallows evenly over the top. Return to the oven for a couple of minutes until the marshmallows are softened. Remove from oven again. Sprinkle the chopped pecans over top of cake.
In the microwave or a small saucepan, melt the chocolate chips with the milk until chips are completely melted and mixture is well blended. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the marshmallow and nuts. Cool before cutting.

Materials:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 large egg whites
1/3 cup chopped pecans (or your favorite nuts)
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Nonstick cooking spray
2 tsp powdered sugar


Procedures:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt by stirring with a whisk. Set mixture aside.
Combine brown sugar, vanilla, and egg whites in a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer at high speed for 1 minute. Add flour mixture and beat just until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and pecans.
Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Spread batter into the pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 18 minutes or until golden and crusty on top. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes then sprinkle with the powdered sugar.
Enjoy!
