Father’s Day chocolate cake
Homemade chocolate cake is a winning dessert for everyone, but especially for Dad. Add cocoa powder and the finest quality dark chocolate to your frosting for an intense dance of flavours. With our special tip you will not have to worry about a dry cake. Just add both vegetable oil and butter to your batter. You will be left with a juicy and rich chocolate cake that no one can stop eating.
For coffee lovers, add an espresso twist to your cake. Bloom your cocoa powder before use. It is a fancy chef's term for pouring hot coffee over cocoa powder and letting it sit for 10 minutes. You will be amazed at the results.
Take your cake to decadent chocolate heaven by making a homemade chocolate ganache topping. Decorate with any of your dad's favourite flavours. Everything from cherries to candied oranges and buttercream frosting would work well. Or balance out the richness of the chocolate cake with a refreshing whipped cream topping.
To create a real showstopping dessert, go the extra mile with a layered cake. Choose a denser recipe to make slicing the layers easier. Then, fill with your dad's frosting of choice. It will be a dessert you will love to display right at the centre of the table.
Hoping to skip the baking step? Try Venchi's fridge cake chocolate recipe. You will not need a stove, only a fridge, to create a tasty dessert that will quickly become Dad's favourite. Beware, you will have to make this recipe repeatedly, most likely for Dad's birthday, too.
Father’s Day cupcakes
Sweeten your dad's day with Father's Day cupcakes. With an easy-to-follow recipe, you cannot fail. Doable for both beginners and experienced bakers, cupcakes are simple, last-minute gifts for your dad.
Think about his taste buds and incorporate his favourite flavours into a cupcake. Cheesecake-flavoured cupcakes, berry-topped meringues, or banana-coated mini cakes would all work wonders. For an extra decadent, cheeky twist, infuse the cupcake batter with your dad's most expensive alcohol. Rum, bourbon, and Baileys all combine deliciously with anything chocolate flavoured. Or how divine does Amaretto cream frosting sound?
You can even get the little ones involved and have them help with decorating the cupcakes. Let them get as creative as they can by giving them a choice of frostings, sprinkles, or chocolate sauce.
What is the plan for Father's Day? If it is a big family gathering, then cupcakes are perfect. You will easily be able to make enough to feed all your guests.
