While some men might enjoy roses made of frosting or frilly decorations, most are more concerned with the flavor of their birthday cakes. Instead of spending time creating intricate decorations that will be quickly consumed, focus on preparing delicious, chocolate-flavored cakes using the birthday boy's favorite flavors and ingredients to ensure that he loves the taste of the cake even more than its appearance. - A black forest cake is quick and easy to make using boxed cake mix and cherry pie filling. Bake prepared chocolate cake mix in two 8- or 9-inch round pans and let the cakes cool completely. Top one cake with 1 cup of the cherry pie filling, and place the second cake gently on top of the pie filling. You can frost the entire sides and top of the cake with chocolate or buttercream frosting if desired, or decorate the top of the plain cake with the remaining pie filling, whipped topping and chocolate curls.
- German chocolate cake is known for its rich pecan and coconut frosting, but you can easily up the chocolate factor by adding chocolate frosting as well. Prepare the German chocolate cake layers and sandwich them together using coconut pecan frosting. Once the cake is assembled, frost the sides with a rich chocolate frosting. Spoon additional coconut pecan frosting onto the top of the cake, and spread it to within one inch of the sides of the cake. Pipe a border around the edge of the cake with chocolate frosting for the finishing touch.
- Transform a simple one-layer cake into something special with the addition of caramel ice cream topping. Pour the ice cream topping over the cake when it is completely cool, and allow the topping to drip over the edges of the cake. Decorate with a few simple mounds of buttercream frosting and top with chocolate candies. You can substitute any flavor of ice cream topping for the caramel to suit the birthday guy's tastes.
- Make a simple yet impressive-looking ice cream cake by baking the cake in a 10-by-15-inch jelly roll pan. Once the cake is cool, spread two cups of softened ice cream over the entire cake, and then roll it up tightly into a jelly roll. Use chocolate ice cream for a double chocolate cake, or use a different flavor of ice cream to create a colorful spiral on each sliced piece of cake. Keep the chocolate ice cream cake in the freezer for at least six hours before serving to harden the ice cream.
