CHOCOLATE SOUR CREAM BUNDT CAKE (COOK'S ILLUSTRATED)



Chocolate Sour Cream Bundt Cake (Cook's Illustrated) image

This is the best chocolate bundt cake from the geniuses at America's Test Kitchen. It is very dense, moist, with a fine crumb, a rich, assertive chocolate taste from the combination of cocoa and bittersweet chocolate, and is not overly sweet. The cake can be made a day in advance; wrap the cooled cake in plastic and store it at room temperature. (In fact, I think it might be even better the next day!) Dust with confectioners' sugar just before serving. Recipe is from Cook's Illustrated Magazine (Jan. 1, 2004). This also works very well as a layer cake.

Time 1h20m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 tablespoon cocoa
3/4 cup natural cocoa (not Dutch-processed, 2 1/4 ounces)
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder (optional)
3/4 cup water (boiling)
1 cup sour cream, room temperature
1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (8 3/4 ounces)
1 teaspoon table salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature (1 1/2 sticks)
2 cups packed light brown sugar (14 ounces)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
5 large eggs, room temperature
confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • FOR THE PAN: Stir together butter and cocoa in small bowl until paste forms; using a pastry brush, coat all interior surfaces of standard 12-cup Bundt pan, see illustration below. (If mixture becomes too thick to brush on, microwave it for 10 to 20 seconds, or until warm and softened.) Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position; heat oven to 350°F.
  • FOR THE CAKE: Combine cocoa, chocolate, and espresso powder (if using) in medium heatproof bowl; pour boiling water over and whisk until smooth. Cool to room temperature; then whisk in sour cream. Whisk flour, salt, and baking soda in second bowl to combine.
  • In standing mixer fitted with flat beater, beat butter, sugar, and vanilla on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to medium and add eggs one at a time, mixing about 30 seconds after each addition and scraping down bowl with rubber spatula after first 2 additions. Reduce to medium-low speed (batter may appear separated); add about one third of flour mixture and half of chocolate/sour cream mixture and mix until just incorporated, about 20 seconds. Scrape bowl and repeat using half of remaining flour mixture and all of remaining chocolate mixture; add remaining flour mixture and beat until just incorporated, about 10 seconds. Scrape bowl and mix on medium-low until batter is thoroughly combined, about 30 seconds.
  • Pour batter into prepared Bundt pan, being careful not to pour batter on sides of pan. Bake until wooden skewer inserted into center comes out with few crumbs attached, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes, then invert cake onto parchment-lined wire rack; cool to room temperature, about 3 hours. Dust with confectioners' sugar, transfer to serving platter, and cut into wedges.

SUGAR FREE SOUR CREAM CHOCOLATE BUNDT CAKE



Sugar Free Sour Cream Chocolate Bundt Cake image

I was very happy & pleased to find that Pillsbury made a Chocolate Sugar Free Cake Mix. I wanted to be creative & add additional flavor to this boxed mix, & did just that, with a few simple INGREDIENTS. I garnished the cake with Sugar Free chocolate covered Raisins & fresh raspberries in addition to the Sugar Free frosting. I created this cake for a community Reunion in Arkansas where I was displaying a variety of desserts both regular & Sugar Free. Those that were looking for SUGAR FREE were pleasantly surprised to see that I had 3 cakes on the menu. All 3 were a big success.

CHOCOLATE SOUR CREAM BUNDT CAKE



Chocolate Sour Cream Bundt Cake image

I ordered a 15 cup Bundt pan from Williams-Sonoma and this recipe was on the back of the box. I did make a few changes like using semi-sweet chocolate baking squares and melting them in the microwave instead of chopping (saves a lot of time). The cake calls for 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips and my bag was 2 cups so I just added the whole bag (I think next time I will try milk chocolate chips - I love milk chocolate). I also substituted milk chocolate chips for semi-sweet in the ganache and also melted them in the microwave instead of chopping. I added the vanilla and cinnamon to the ganache for a little extra flavor (I love the flavor of cinnamon in a chocolate cake). This makes a lot of batter so you must use a 15 cup pan or if using a 12 cup pan use some of the batter for cupcakes. I found the ganache to be a little thin that's why I put it in the refrigerator to help it thicken up some. This may be a little more work than some chocolate cakes, but if you have a "choc-a-holic" in your family they will love you for making this cake. The original recipe states it serves 16, but they don't know my friends and family - LOL

1 cup cocoa powder, sifted, plus more for dusting pan
7 1/2 oz. semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 cup boiling water
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
20 Tbsp. (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
2 1/2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
5 eggs, lightly beaten
4 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups sour cream
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
For the ganache:
6 oz. semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Have all the ingredients at room temperature.
  • Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F. Grease the Anniversary Bundt Cake Pan and dust with cocoa powder; tap out the excess.
  • To make the cake, in a bowl, combine the 1 cup cocoa powder and the chocolate. Add the boiling water and whisk until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth and blended. Set aside.
  • Over a sheet of parchment, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the flat beater, beat the butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy, 30 to 45 seconds. Reduce the speed to low, add the brown sugar and beat until blended. Increase the speed to medium and continue beating until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 5 minutes, stopping the mixer occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the eggs a little at a time, beating until incorporated before adding more and stopping the mixer occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Beat in the vanilla until incorporated, about 1 minute.
  • Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with the sour cream and beginning and ending with the flour, beating just until blended and no lumps of flour remain. Slowly pour in the chocolate-cocoa mixture and beat until no white streaks are visible, stopping the mixer occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl.

  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading the batter so the sides are about 1 inch higher than the center. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached to it, 60 to 65 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the cake cool upright in the pan for 15 minutes. Invert the pan onto the rack and lift off the pan. Let the cake cool completely, at least 1 hour.
  • Return the cooled cake to the pan. Using a serrated knife, gently saw off any excess cake that extends over the edge of the pan. Set the wire rack on a parchment paper lines baking sheet. Invert the pan onto the rack and lift off the pan. (I skipped this step).
  • Meanwhile make the ganache: In a heatproof bowl, combine the chocolate and butter. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the cream just to a boil. Immediately pour the cream over the chocolate and butter. Whisk until the melt and the mixture is smooth.
  • Pour the ganache over the top of the cake, allowing the ganache, to drip down the sides. Let the cake stand until the ganache is set, at least 15 minutes.
  • Serves 16
