not really German cake is suposed to be sour in a way so no no no no no no no no no no no no
Yes, but you might want to try and cut out some sugar in other parts of the recipe as the cake will be sweeter with the new substituion of chocolate in it.
Sure, if that is the kind of chocolate you have, use it!
I have used semi sweet but it didn't turn out as good.
Yes you can. The end product will not be quite as sweet.
Yes you can.
Often you can, yes.
Yes
It is difficult to actually change the type of chocolate it is. Instead, you can add some cream and a little sugar to lighten and sweeten the taste up.
Yes. Most packages of cocoa will list the correct amounts of cocoa powder and butter to use for a specific amount of unsweetened chocolate. For most brands of cocoa, three tablespoons cocoa powder plus one tablespoon butter = one ounce unsweetened chocolate.
No they don't, try mixing in some semen instead
Ruth Wakefield invented Chocolate Chip Cookies in 1924. Rumour has it she ran out of currants to put in the cookies and used chocolate instead. She tried to make chocolate cookies, but instead they came out in "CHIP" form. The chocolate chip cookies were named "toll house cookies" after an inn that she and her husband ran in the 1930's.
Usually, it's melted unsweetened baker's chocolate, mixed with semi-sweet chocolate wafers, and white chocolate wafers. Or with cocoa instead of unsweetened baker's chocolate. Or it's a 3 layer cake - layer per type of chocolate.
It will be down to personel taste. Try it and report back.
I prefer oatmeal cookies instead, because they are sweeter and moist. Yes. I like chocolate chip cookies, but I like chocolate chip oatmeal cookies even better!
Not generally -- because there is unsweetened (baking chocolate). The best thing to substitute is cocoa powder and butter/oil/shortening. For each ounce of baking chocolate substitute 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon of butter (or oil/shortening).
You can use unsweetened chocolate instead of semi-sweetened chocolate in a cake recipe, but you need to consider why you want to do so. If you're thinking of health benefits, the difference will be negligible. If it's just that you only have unsweetened chocolate, go ahead. Remember, when you use a recipe for the first time it's always best to follow that recipe as closely as possible. Once you've tasted the first results, you can tweak the ingredients around to suit you if you cook it again.
Yes, ounce for ounce. One square of baker's semisweet chocolate is one ounce, if you were to chop 8 of the squares up it would be the equivalent of 8oz. or 1cup of semisweet chips. Happy baking :-)
The best answer to that question is Ruth Graves Wakefield of Whitmann, Massachusetts , the same city/ location of the Toll House Chocolate Company. Ruth's had an old favorite recipe for "Butter Drop Do" cookies dating back to colonial times. A recipe variation called for baker's chocolate and Ruth found herself without the needed ingredient. She used a bar of semisweet chocolate on hand, she chopped it into pieces and stirred the chunks of chocolate into the cookie dough, assuming that the chocolate would melt and spread throughout each cookie. Instead the chocolate bits held their shape and created a sensation. She called her new creation the Toll House Crunch Cookies. The Toll House Crunch Cookies became very popular with guests at her inn, and soon her recipe was published in a Boston newspaper, as well as other papers in the New England area. Word of the cookie spread and it became popular around 1939.
