BOCA NEGRA (BOURBON CHOCOLATE CAKE)



Boca Negra (Bourbon Chocolate Cake) image

Lora Brody gave the cake this name (black mouth) because it describes what happens when you eat it. A chocolate lover's dream, this very rich, dense, nearly flourless cake is finished with a really luscious white chocolate cream.

Time 8h30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup whipping cream
12 ounces white chocolate, finely chopped
1/4 cup Bourbon (or more to taste)
1 1/3 cups sugar
1/2 cup Bourbon
12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 cup unsalted butter, cut into 10 pieces, at room temperature
5 eggs, at room temperature
1 1/2 tablespoons flour

Steps:

  • Heat the cream in a saucepan until small bubbles form around the edge. Meanwhile, put the white chocolate in a food processor or in a blender container. Pour the cream over the chocolate; process until completely smooth. Add the Bourbon; taste and add up to a tablespoon more if you like.
  • Pour into a container with a tight-fitting lid; refrigerate 8 hours. (The cream can be kept in the refrigerator for a week or frozen for up to a month; thaw overnight in refrigerator.).
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Lightly butter a 9-inch round cake pan; line the bottom with buttered parchment or wax paper. Put the cake pan in a shallow roasting pan; set aside.
  • For the cake, heat the sugar and Bourbon to a full boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook to a syrup, about 2 minutes.
  • Place the chocolate in a food processor; pour the syrup into the work bowl. Process until the mixture is completely blended, about 12 seconds.
  • Add the butter, in pieces, with the machine running.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time.
  • Add the flour. Process until smooth, about 15 seconds.
  • Transfer the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come about 1 inch up the sides of the cake pan.
  • Bake until the top is dry, about 30 minutes. Remove the cake pan from its water bath; wipe the cake pan dry.
  • Cover the top of the cake with a sheet of plastic wrap. Invert the cake onto a flat plate, peel off the parchment.
  • Quickly but gently invert again onto a serving platter; remove the plastic. Serve the cake warm or at room temperature with the chilled white chocolate cream.

June's Chocolate Bourbon Cake image

This is one of my husband's and son's favorites. I modified a made-from-scratch cake recipe, for this very easy, delicious cake. It presents beautifully with the white glaze and chocolate stripes.

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (16 ounce) box chocolate cake mix
1 (3 ounce) box chocolate pudding, instant
1/2 cup Bourbon
1 cup water
1/3 cup butter, unsalted, softened
1/4 cup applesauce
1 1/2 tablespoons instant coffee powder, instant
4 eggs
1 cup mini chocolate chip (optional)
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup (or Lyleâ s Golden Syrup or honey)
3 -4 tablespoons light cream (or whole milk, or half-n-half or combination)
1 ounce chocolate, semi-sweet, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat convection oven to 325° F (or 350° for regular oven). Prepare a bundt pan by buttering and flouring it. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine together cake mix, pudding mix, bourbon, water, butter, applesauce, coffee powder, and eggs. Mix gently until dry ingredients are wet. Scrape bowl & beaters. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. If using stir in mini chocolate chips by hand. Pour batter into prepared bundt pan.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes.
  • Invert onto a cake rack set over a plate large enough to fully cover the bottom of the cake. Remove bundt pan. Let cool until lukewarm.
  • For optional glaze, combine powdered sugar and corn syrup (or Lyle's golden syrup or honey) in a medium bowl. Stir together adding enough cream (1/2-n-1/2 and/or milk) to make smooth and pourable.
  • Pour glaze over cake. (Note: The idea is to fully cover the cake with white glaze so the chocolate stripes stand out. This is totally optional. If the glaze is rather thin, repeat the last step as follows: Holding by the rack, move the cake & rack over to a second plate large enough to fully cover the bottom. Pour the excess glaze that dripped onto first plate, over the cake. Repeat as necessary to achieve a glaze of desired thickness and/or coverage.) Let set about 5-10 minutes before drizzling chocolate.
  • Melt chocolate and stir until smooth. Place in the bottom corner of a disposable plastic baggie. Make a very small cut in the corner of the bag, to allow a thin line of chocolate.
  • Drizzle back and forth over top of cake. Refrigerate until chocolate is set, about 15 minutes. Alternatively leave out overnight to set the chocolate.

Categories     dessert

Time 4h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

Nonstick baking spray
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
3 large eggs
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
1/3 cup bourbon whiskey
4 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs
2 cups chopped bittersweet chocolate
2 cups heavy cream

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line two 8-inch cake pans with parchment circles and spray thoroughly with nonstick baking spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a large measuring cup, blend the eggs, sour cream and vanilla.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, blend the melted butter and oil on low speed until incorporated. Mix in the coffee and bourbon. Slowly add the flour mixture; mix until smooth. Add the egg mixture and mix until thoroughly blended.
  • Divide the batter between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack and let cool completely.
  • While cakes are in the oven, whip up the filling: Melt the baking chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth. Set aside to cool.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the salted butter and granulated sugar on high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Drizzle in the melted chocolate and vanilla and whip until combined. Adjust the mixer to medium speed and add the eggs, one at a time, mixing for 5 full minutes between each addition. Once the eggs are incorporated, chill the filling for 30 minutes to firm up.
  • For the ganache: Place the bittersweet chocolate in a metal bowl. In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the heavy cream just to a boil, then pour it over the chopped chocolate. Whisk until smooth. Let cool to room temperature.
  • To assemble the cake: Level and split the cake layers with a serrated knife. Layer the ganache and filling alternately to build an attractive layer cake. Chill the cake completely, then pour lukewarm ganache over the top, allowing plenty to drip down the sides of the cake.
  • When you can't hold back any longer, slice and enjoy!

CHOCOLATE BOURBON CAKE



Chocolate Bourbon Cake image

My friend Judy celebrated Thanksgiving with a sumptuous meal and for dessert she served an array of different pastries and one of them was this Chocolate Bourbon Cake. A wonderful time was had by all and with time I will post some of the fantastic foods from that beautiful evening. She made two and three of everything so as to be able to feed a couple other families - it was lovely!
