Chocolate Funnel Cake takes a new twist on an old favorite for #ChocolateWeek . Delicate batter kissed with a bit of cocoa. Free form drizzles make any shape you like. Go ahead, it’s time to play with your food!
Funnel Cakes got their name by the way they’re made. The batter was dropped into a vat of oil by filling a funnel and removing and replacing your finger over the hole to adjust the flow. You can use a measuring cup with a spout, but it gives you less control. I like to use a squeeze bottle. The bottle keeps my hands farther away from the hot oil and splashes.
Chocolate Funnel Cake is one of dozens of chocolate recipes for #ChocolateWeek from our fun loving, chocolate loving, group of bloggers links below! Thanks Jolene and Christie for hosting this deliciously fun event!
I grew up eating funnel cakes my mom made and some we bought at local fairs. Vendors barked, “Come and get it, hot, fresh funnel cakes!” Each one doused in powdered sugar. Messy but oh so good!
Making funnel cakes at home gave me the opportunity to experiment with flavors and toppings. Adding strawberries for example, I needed to adjust the amount of liquid. A bit of cocoa and adjust the sweetness produced these chocolate goodies I’m sharing with you today.
