So many people have asked me about my durable cake recipe in chocolate so I did a bit of experimenting and think I came up with just the right combination. This chocolate cake is a bit thicker but not overwhelming. It holds up so much better than a regular cake during sculpting. There is less crumbling and the taste is just right.

Durable Cake for 3D in Chocolate

Ingredients

  • 1 Duncan Hines Devils Food Chocolate Mix
    4 egg whites
    1/2 cup water
    1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    1 small package instant chocolate pudding mix
    1 cup sour cream

Instructions

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees

  2. Grease and flour pans.
  4. On low speed begin incorporating all ingredients together.
  6. Once combined, give a very good stir with a spatula making sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl. Turn mixer to medium and blend well for approximately 2 minutes.
  8. The batter will be thick but don’t worry – this is normal.
  10. Spoon equal amounts into pans and using spatula even out the batter.
  12. Bake for 25-30 minutes depending on oven. Toothpick inserted in center should come out clean and top should spring back when pressed.
  14. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes in pan before turning out onto cooling racks.
  16. Decorate as desired.
