It doesn't hold up much when you have to stack or cut a lot out of it. Honestly I am not sure what you could substitute for the cocoa...maybe somewhere online has a great vanilla alternative. If you look on my facebook notes I have a pumpkin alternative that is great for any dairy allergies! Box cakes are just fine, I just happen to love this chocolate recipe...MMMMMMmmmmmm!Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00244876159583940192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325473016820443137.post-71527629837646286972012-02-21T15:51:03.535-05:002012-02-21T15:51:03.535-05:00I let it cool slightly until I can touch it withou...I let it cool slightly until I can touch it without burning myself, but still warm.Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00244876159583940192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325473016820443137.post-15224587101126138452011-11-08T16:13:08.933-05:002011-11-08T16:13:08.933-05:00Okay first, thank you SO much for taking the time ...Okay first, thank you SO much for taking the time to post this! Awesome!<br /><br />Second...two thoughts:<br /><br />1. I make my box cakes (which is about all I bake thanks to Natalie's dairy allergy) moist by not allowing them to bake for the suggested baking time on back. I usually set the timer for 10 minutes less than the minimum time and then start checking it with a toothpick every 1-2 minutes like you suggested. Mine have always turned out amazingly moist!<br /><br />2. Any suggestions on substituting something for the baking cocoa in your chocolate cake recipe? I'd love to try it out, but I'd like to make it in a way that Natalie can eat it too!doddyjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15620430590308381959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325473016820443137.post-56674729306130969932011-11-08T16:08:11.505-05:002011-11-08T16:08:11.505-05:00Great post!

Okay, question -when you put your cakes in the freezer I assume you do it before decorating? Do you let them sit a while after taking them out of the freezer before frosting and decorating or do you do that right away? I'll have to try the freezer thing for Noah's cake next month -it'll be an "easy" cake, a music note since he loves music! (oh, and I often substitue applesauce just for health reasons but not so much for the moisture)Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415559875160376203noreply@blogger.com
