“Box Hershey’s Chocolate Cake” typically refers to a cake made using a boxed cake mix by Hershey’s, a brand known for its chocolate products. These boxed mixes are convenient and designed to produce a rich, chocolatey cake with minimal effort.
Here’s a general method to make a boxed Hershey’s chocolate cake:
Ingredients
- 1 box of Hershey’s chocolate cake mix
- Eggs (as required by the box mix instructions)
- Water (as required by the box mix instructions)
- Vegetable oil (as required by the box mix instructions)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the cake mix box (usually around 350°F or 175°C).
- Prepare Cake Mix: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix with the eggs, water, and vegetable oil as directed on the box.
- Mix Ingredients: Use an electric mixer on medium speed or mix by hand until the batter is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Grease and Flour Pans: Grease and flour the cake pans to prevent the cake from sticking. You can use butter or a non-stick spray.
- Pour Batter into Pans: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Bake: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for the time indicated on the box, usually 25-30 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake; it should come out clean or with just a few crumbs.
- Cool: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Frost and Serve: Once the cakes are completely cool, you can frost them with your favorite frosting (chocolate, vanilla, or any other flavor you like).
