Chocolate Cake Recipe Carving
One of the most important things necessary to sculpt a novelty cake is a perfect base. A cake that can be cut and manipulated without falling apart. A cake with a soft crumb and yet taste delicious. This chocolate cake perfect for carving will prove the best sculpting cake recipe for you.
When you ask a person how they like their cake, almost everyone will say rich and moist. But carving a rich and moist cake is definitely difficult and not recommended for novelty cakes and a cake not rich and moist is definitely not desirable. So… MUST find the right balance. I think I did. This is the best sculpting cake recipe you will love.
I wish you could see how soft and moist my carving cake recipes are. I have been using this chocolate cake recipe for carving – for a long time now and carved many cakes very successfully. It’s not as dense as a pound or sponge cake but not as delicate as a simple moist, classic chocolate, or death by chocolate cake recipes.

I strongly recommended that you freeze the cake for an hour at least before you carve it. Freezing the cake helps with fewer crumbs. So while I say this is dense it’s also rich and delicious. Some of the cakes I’ve made with this chocolate as well as my vanilla cake for carving recipe have had rave reviews from my customers.
One of the most common questions I get is how much cake do I need? When it comes to novelty cake it’s difficult for me to say.
For example, I can’t say, you need two of these for a car cake. Why? because it depends on the size of your car template. However, I can say that this cake serves 15 to 20 people. But, it can be double and more, successfully.

So, if you choose to make a cake for 60 then you’d multiply the recipe times 3 and follow the same method as below. This cake serving chart guide will help you decide how much cake you need.
Using unsalted butter means you can control the amount of salt in the recipe. Having said that, you can use salted butter in most cakes and omit the salt in the recipe.
Does a dense cake have a longer shelf life? How long does this cake keep? Do I need to refrigerate this cake?

Often people think a dense cake can be kept for longer. True, it does have a longer shelf life than most other cakes. And yet, even a dense cake will stay at room temperature for only 3 to 4 days. You can keep it longer if you wrap well in plastic and keep it in the fridge.
This chocolate carving is delicious on its own, especially when it’s fresh so don’t be afraid to use it for not just sculpting. I like to use a butter-based or chocolate-based frosting for my sculpted cakes. The butter and chocolate both firm with chilled which works in favor of cutting and manipulating the cake as needed.
No, this recipe works best with eggs but I do have an eggless chocolate fudge cake that I have used for carving and is very popular with my visitors on this blog.

Simple Moist Chocolate Cake Recipe
Panettone Recipe from Scratch Easy Snickerdoodle Bars Recipe Marble Cake in Bundt Pan Recipe for Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe for Caramel Dutch Apple PieCarving, orsculpting, cakes requires a cake with a dense crumb that won't fall apart while you're working with it. Try this doctored mix for a delicious cake that won't crumble when you need it to hold-up.
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.
I tried this cake after a friend of mine said you'll get better the more you make it about the chocolate cake recipe I was using. Everyone loved it! It was easy to make and easy to carve. I'm glad I was warned about the batter being thick. I would have worried I'd done something wrong if I hadn't of known. Thanks! It's the only chocolate cake I use!
Chocolate Pound Cake With Icing (moist & Fluffy)
This cake is delicious! Thanks so much for posting! I too, was glad to be warned about the thickness. Wonderful recipe!! :)
I made this, but just converted the regular receipe that does not have the addidtional oil. It turned out awesome. I did it with the Dark Chocolate Duncan Hines with Chocolate Fudge pudding. The family I made the 3d bear for loved it. My only recommnedation is with the 3d bear, DONT use the core, cook for 2 hours and only let it sit for a few minutes before you set the bear somewhat on his butt, if you don't this batter is SOOOO heavy that the head will seperate from the shoulders.
Stasia1985: I'm guessing it will feed slightly more than the cake mix says, since the egg whites and extra ingredients puff it up a lot.

I froze it and it still wasn't too easy, but way better than any other cake I've tried to carve. I even pasted pieces together, froze that, and then carved some more... so I guess it worked out pretty well. Definitely freeze it!! Don't worry - from the time you start putting on frosting to the time you serve it, it won't be still frozen.
Do you think I can generally use this recipe with any boxed mix??I have a customer who wants cherry chip flavor cake and I thought about using vanilla pudding instead.
Not sure if i'm using this recipe wrong, tried to make a 13x9 and it only rose 1 inch :( are you supposed to replace the ingridients on the box with the ones listed?? Should i have doubled the recipe for a 13x9?? thx
The Ultimate Chocolate Cake Recipe
One question, i like to make my recipes from scratch. Does anyone know how to replace the devil food box for actual ingredients? Please!! I need to do a 3D chocolate cake and would love to use this recipe :D Thank you!
Awesome recipe. Used to make a teapot cake. It held its shape and was easy to work with. My friends loved the flavor and raved about the moistness. Thanks so much for a great recipe!!
Am just about to make this recipe for the first time after having read all the comments and compliments! Just a quick question... what does small package of chocolate pudding mix mean? how small is small? I have some sachets that I just bought... which I think are about 125g... is that right? or is that too much? too little? Many thanks for any help!
Double Chocolate Layer Cake
I baked this last night to see how it would work for sculpting. It was ok to carve but the taste.. that is what sold it to me. Sooooo good!!! I'm not a big chocolate cake fan but this cake may be my new favorite!
Well...so far so good! I have a Captains Hat to make and just tried this recipe and they turned out of the pans on my hands great without cracking. I only had a large box of Chocolate and Vanilla pudding on hand so I used all of those and whipped my egg whites adding them last. Ran out of sour cream so the last half of that was whipping cream and I added 2 tablespoons of good vanilla.
Honeybees- 3.4 oz box of pudding is what I've been using. But I think I'm too late for your January cake! Hope it went great!
Chocolate Mud Cake
Oh my Goodness!! Finally I have a chocolate cake recipe that I can trust! I don't like chocolate cake and I can't bake it for the life of me (high altitude)...but this one turned out fabulous even in 10 rounds!! Thank you :)
I use this recipe all the time, but I use 3
