Just check it with a toothpick or cake tester. When it comes out clean, it's done). Dark chocolate is a chocolate bar. Make sure its something higher than 60% cocoa (the darker the better, I usually use a 72-90%) You Sweet as Cocohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12714249580972895760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1854251863711594123.post-30805045490666330202011-01-25T11:07:45.363-05:002011-01-25T11:07:45.363-05:00It looks like you used a quarter sheet pan- is tha...It looks like you used a quarter sheet pan- is that right? Could you tell me what the baking times for that are? Did you use one pan & cut it in half or two pans?<br /><br />Also, the dark chocolate you added to the frosting, was that cocoa powder? Or did you grate a chocolate bar?<br /><br />My sons 14th birthday is tomorrow and he requested chocolate cake with raspberry mousse filling.
