Time 2h40m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

250 g dark chocolate (70%)
250 g butter
550 g sugar
60 ml strong coffee
180 ml hot water
125 ml milk
4 medium eggs
300 g plain flour
60 g cocoa
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
10 g baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
30 ml vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • First of all, we need to make the base. Preheat the oven to 150C or 300F degrees.
  • Melt the chocolate in the hot water bath. Brake the chocolate into smaller pieces, place into heatproof ball, add butter and place bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Make sure the ball does not touch the water.
  • To the melted chocolate and butter mixture add sugar, coffee and hot water. Mix well and stir until sugar dissolves. Remove from hot water bath and let it cool down for about 15 minute.
  • Next add milk to the chocolate mixture. Milk must be cold as it should also lower the temperature of the mixture.
  • Using a hand mixer whisk in eggs one at a time.
  • Add sieved flour, cocoa, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, salt and mix well either with a wooden spoon or hand mixer until combined.
  • In the end add vegetable oil and vanilla.
  • With a small piece of butter grease 20cm loose bottom cake tin. It should be a deep one as well - approximately 10cm deep as the cake will rise twice in size.
  • Line the tin with parchment paper. Spoon the mixture into the tin and bake for 2 HOURS.
  • When base is ready remove it from the oven, let it cool down so you can handle. Carefully remove from the tin and let it cool down completely.
  • Now you can start preparing the ganache by melting the chocolate in hot water bath same way as described above just without the butter.
  • When chocolate is fully melted remove from hot water bath to cool down (approx. 10min) and add double cream. Mix well until fully combined and glossy.
  • Next step is to make mascarpone cream. Whip the double cream with icing sugar and lemon juice. Add mascarpone and mix well.
  • Cut the base into 3 equal layers and spread mascarpone cream on two of the layers. (reserve a little bit of cream for later) Stuck them on top of each other finishing up with a layer with no mascarpone cream. "plaster" the gaps with remaining mascarpone cream so it looks neat and tidy.
  • Pour the ganache on top of the cake and spread it evenly.
  • When I am covering the cakes with ganache (or any other liquid-ish glazing) I put it onto oven rack so when the glazing is dripping off the sides it goes straight through without flooding the sides and leaving cake looking untidy. Just make sure you put foil or baking tray under the oven rack to catch all the excess ganache without making too much of a mess.
  • Decorate the cake with fruits berries and/or chocolate garnishes.

SHOULD BE SINFUL Triple Chocolate Fudge Cake image

This is definitely the chocolatiest cake I have ever tasted. It is so rich and dark, it should be sinful, hence the name. A good topping might be some whipped cream, to balance it out :) Oh, and I should mention...it is incredibly easy to make!

KILLER CHOCOLATE CAKE



Killer Chocolate Cake image

Moist and rich, the true secret ingredient here is the soy sauce in the frosting. FOR REAL. It adds just a little salty note that really pulls the cake together.

Categories     Dessert     Cake     Bake     Chocolate     Dark Chocolate     Soy Sauce     Buttermilk

Yield Makes one 9-by-13-inch frosted cake

Number Of Ingredients 18

For the cake:
1 cup (2 sticks) plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 3/4 cups buttermilk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups light brown sugar
3 large eggs
8 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped, and melted (see Note)
For the frosting:
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup confectioners' sugar
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped, melted, and cooled to room temperature (see Note)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch glass or metal cake pan with the 1 tablespoon of room temperature butter.
  • Whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Combine the buttermilk and vanilla in a medium bowl or a 2-cup liquid measuring cup.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl, if using a handheld mixer), cream the 1 cup of butter and the brown sugar on low speed until creamy and well combined. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until light and airy, about 2 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to medium-low and add the eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition and scraping down the side and bottom of the bowl as needed. Once all 3 eggs are added, beat for 1 minute on medium speed to get the mixture nice and fluffy.
  • Reduce the speed to medium-low and add the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk mixture in three batches, starting with the flour. Add the melted chocolate and mix on medium speed until well incorporated, stopping the mixer to scrape down the side and bottom of the bowl as needed.
  • Use a rubber or offset spatula to scrape the batter into the prepared pan and even it out as much as possible. Bake until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and the center of the cake resists light pressure, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely, at least 2 hours, before frosting.
  • Make the frosting: Put the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or in a medium bowl, if using a handheld mixer). Beat on medium-high speed until smooth. Turn off the mixer and sift the confectioners' sugar into the bowl and combine on low speed. Add the melted chocolate, soy sauce, and vanilla and beat on low speed until combined. Increase the mixer speed to medium-low and whip until glossy, 15 to 30 seconds.
  • Use an offset spatula or butter knife to spread the frosting on top of the cooled cake. Cut into squares and serve.
  • DO AHEAD: The cake will keep, loosely covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days. Let it sit out at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

THE VERY BEST CHOCOLATE FUDGE CAKE



The Very Best Chocolate Fudge Cake image

I have made this cake for the past several years with unfailing applause. I got the recipe from Cooks Illustrated. Do not substitute semisweet chocolate chips for the chopped semisweet chocolate in the frosting-chocolate chips contain less cocoa butter than bar chocolate and will not melt as readily. For best results, don't make the frosting until the cakes are cooled, and use the frosting as soon as it is ready. If the frosting gets too cold and stiff to spread easily, wrap the mixer bowl with a towel soaked in hot water and mix on low speed until the frosting appears creamy and smooth. Refrigerated leftover cake should sit at room temperature before serving until the frosting softens. Recipe for the wonderful Frosting is on this site "The Very Best Chocolate Fudge Icing"

Time 55m

Yield 1 2 layer cake, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 tablespoons butter (1 1/2 sticks, very soft)
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (8 3/4 ounces, sifted, unbleached)
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate (coarsely chopped)
1/4 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder (3/4 ounce)
1/2 cup water (hot)
1 3/4 cups sugar (12 1/4 ounces)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 large eggs
2 large egg yolks

Steps:

  • 1. FOR THE CAKE: Adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 9-inch-round by 2-inch-high cake pans with softened butter; dust pans with flour and knock out excess. Combine chocolate, cocoa powder, and hot water in medium heatproof bowl; set bowl over saucepan containing 1 inch of simmering water and stir with rubber spatula until chocolate is melted, about 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup sugar to chocolate mixture and stir until thick and glossy, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove bowl from heat and set aside to cool.
  • 2. Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl. Combine buttermilk and vanilla in small bowl. In bowl of standing mixer fitted with whisk attachment, whisk eggs and yolks on medium-low speed until combined, about 10 seconds. Add remaining 1 1/4 cups sugar, increase speed to high, and whisk until fluffy and lightened in color, 2 to 3 minutes. Replace whisk with paddle attachment. Add cooled chocolate mixture to egg/sugar mixture and mix on medium speed until thoroughly incorporated, 30 to 45 seconds, pausing to scrape down sides of bowl with rubber spatula as needed. Add softened butter one tablespoon at a time, mixing about 10 seconds after each addition. Add about one-third of flour mixture followed by half of buttermilk mixture, mixing until incorporated after each addition (about 15 seconds). Repeat using half of remaining flour mixture and all of remaining buttermilk mixture (batter may appear separated). Scrape down sides of bowl and add remaining flour mixture; mix at medium-low speed until batter is thoroughly combined, about 15 seconds. Remove bowl from mixer and fold batter once or twice with rubber spatula to incorporate any remaining flour. Divide batter evenly between prepared cake pans; smooth batter to edges of pan with spatula.
  • 3. Bake cakes until toothpick inserted into center comes out with a few crumbs attached, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool cakes in pans 15 minutes, then invert onto wire rack. Cool cakes to room temperature before frosting, 45 to 60 minutes.

ULTIMATE CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHIP FUDGE CAKE



Ultimate Chocolate Chocolate Chip Fudge Cake image

Judge a cake by the list of ingredients. How can a cake be truly deeply rich chocolate with only a bit of cocoa? This cake has a depth of flavor that can only come when real chocolate is used in sizeable amounts. Use a higher quality chocolate to further heighten the flavor. This cake is VERY easy to make. Do NOT try to lighten up this cake...it needs the fat in the whole milk and butter to add to the moistness. I originally found this on Epicurious.com but have made a few changes for my own taste. I hope you enjoy this!
