Who doesn't like chocolate-flavored pastries? There are probably no such people in the world. But only culinary products with cocoa powder are often dry. In this article, you will find a selection of wet chocolate cake recipes. And preparing such recipes is very simple. No wonder the original names of the dishes are: “Cake for one, two, three” and “Crazy pie”. The latter - Crazy Cake - is also very economical, as eggs are not used in the recipe. "Crazy Pie" appeared in the United States in the 30s of the last century, during the Great Depression. When all the products were very expensive, the American housewives came up with how to make a delicious dessert literally from nothing. And modern vegans have diversified the classic recipe with variations. The name of the cake, “One, Two, Three,” speaks of the extreme simplicity of its preparation. It uses eggs, but this baking will not breach the budget. Let's now take a look at all the recipes in turn.
American Crazy Cake
Following the classic prescription, you can make a wet chocolate cake, smearing the cakes with some cream, as well as homemade muffins. Sift two cups of flour into a deep bowl. This should be done in order to break the lumps and saturate the product with oxygen. Mix the flour with a glass of sugar and half the amount of cocoa powder. We send in a bowl the contents of both bags of vanillin and a baking powder for the test. Carefully mix the dry mass. Pour into it half a glass of vegetable oil. It is better to take refined sunflower - in the opposite case, the baked goods will have a not too “dessert” smell. Stir with a spatula and begin to add water at room temperature. It may take about two glasses. It is important that the dough is like sour cream, but not too thick.

From this base, you can make muffins - small moist chocolate cakes, the top of which then, when the products have cooled, you need to decorate with glaze, coconut flakes or berries. In this case, pour the dough into silicone molds in the form of cupcakes and send it to the preheated oven 180 degrees for twenty minutes. Cake cake requires more time to bake. It should be kept in the oven at the same temperature for forty minutes. Readiness, as always, is checked with a matchstick or a toothpick. A wooden rolling pin should not bear the dough. The resulting cake is cooled and cut with a thick thread or a sharp knife into two layers. We smear these layers with cream. We also decorate the top with, for example, chocolate icing. As a cream, custard, butter, from whipped cream is suitable. If you add less sugar to the dough than indicated in the recipe, then you can make a smear based on condensed milk or honey.
Vegan Crazy Cake
To avoid having to grease the pan with margarine and cooking oil, you can use a silicone baking dish. You can also follow this vegan recipe for wet chocolate cake. Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl: one and a half glasses of wheat flour, about a hundred grams of sugar, four soup spoons of cocoa powder. Unlike the previous recipe, add a pinch of salt. Next, pour a bag of vanilla sugar in a bowl, and a teaspoon of soda. Thoroughly mix all dry ingredients. Now add a teaspoon of vinegar and refined sunflower or olive oil. It will be needed with a quarter glass. You can replace this ingredient with coconut oil - it will turn out very tasty. Lightly beat the dough with a mixer. This is done so that soda and vinegar can fluff flour. Then the cake will turn out tall and magnificent. We gradually add a glass of water.
Making a Vegan Cake
Pour the dough into the mold and send it to the oven preheated to 180-190 degrees. Moist chocolate cake cake is baked for the cake, depending on the diameter, about half an hour. If nothing sticks to the horn removed from the dough, turn off the stove. You can just sprinkle cakes with powdered sugar and serve with tea. It comes out with a delicious crisp but moist inside. You can also make a high-grade holiday treat full of high cake. The vegan cream recipe is as follows. One ripe banana will need half a teaspoon of cocoa. Knead the pureed fruit in mashed potatoes, mix with chocolate powder. Soak the cakes with the resulting cream, decorate the top of the product. Sprinkle with coconut. You can decorate the cake with crushed nuts instead. This product needs to be given time to brew.
Super Wet Chocolate Cake Recipe
We include instant coffee in the ingredients. Only half a teaspoon of this powder, and you will see how the taste of cakes is enriched. In one dish you should mix one and a half glasses of wheat flour, four large spoons of cocoa powder, a bag of vanillin, a pinch of salt and about the same amount of baking soda. In other dishes, pour refined sunflower oil. It will take a quarter cup. Pour into it two hundred grams of sugar, instant coffee, a spoonful of lemon juice. Add a glass of hot water. Beat the oil mixture until sugar crystals are completely dissolved. Pour the liquid to the dry ingredients. Again, whisk with a whisk or mixer in a lush mass. If we decide to make a festive version of a wet cake, then natural chocolate should be used instead of cocoa. But in this case, the tile needs to be melted in a water bath and added to the finished dough. Lubricate the form with margarine, sprinkle with semolina. We pour the dough and bake for about 45 minutes in the oven preheated to 180 degrees.
Kefir based cake recipe
Many chefs are surprised: how can the cake rise if not adding eggs or dairy products to the dough? It turns out you can. But if you’re used to baking with butter and dairy products, here’s a recipe for wet chocolate cake without eggs, but on kefir. The latter can be of any fat content. Mix 300 milliliters of kefir with a quarter cup of refined sunflower oil and 150 grams of granulated sugar. Beat until crystals are completely dissolved. In the second bowl, mix the bulk ingredients: 150 grams of flour, a teaspoon of cookie powder, a pinch of salt and four soup spoons “with a hill” of cocoa powder. Stir until smooth. We connect both parts of the test. The base should be a semi-fluid consistency. Pour the dough into a greased form of margarine and bake at 180 Celsius for forty minutes.
Recipe with eggs (“Cake for one, two, three”)
First, mix the dry ingredients: 250 grams of flour, one and a half teaspoons of soda, two pinch of salt, 55 g of cocoa powder, 300 g of granulated sugar, a bag of vanillin. And then we add two eggs to this bowl, 60 g of softened (but not ghee) butter, the same amount of vegetable fat (best of all olive), 280 milliliters of milk. At the end we pour a tablespoon of weak, not more than 6 percent, vinegar. Beat with a mixer for about ten minutes until a smooth and shiny dough is obtained. Wet chocolate cake can be prepared both in a conventional oven and in a slow cooker. Pour the dough into a greased, as well as slightly sprinkled with flour form and bake for about 45 minutes at 180 degrees. The resulting cake must be cooled, cut into layers and smeared with custard vanilla cream with the addition of cocoa.
Chocolate wet cake in a slow cooker
The principle of baking in the unit is not much different from cooking in the oven. But in the thicket of a multicooker it is better to put parchment paper so that its tips stick out. So it will be more convenient to take out the finished product. Turn on the “Baking” mode. For "Cake for one, two, three," set the timer for an hour. About the same amount of time is required for the Crazy Cake.
