KITTENCAL'S MOIST ONE-BOWL DARK CHOCOLATE BUNDT CAKE



Kittencal's Moist One-Bowl Dark Chocolate Bundt Cake image

This recipe goes back over 30 years and I still make today, it's the most delicious dependable never-fail moist cake that is so easy to make, just dump everything into one large bowl, there is no need to beat eggs first, if like a slight orange/chocolate flavor use orange juice or you may use half juice and water you could use all water if desired ---my family calls this the Oreo cake as it tastes similar to the chocolate wafer part of an Oreo cookie, I sometimes slice in half and spread a vanilla frosting in the middle --- please make certain to generously grease and flour your pan, I always use my recipe#78579 for this --- this is one cake you will make over and over again and it's perfect to take to a potluck! --- for glaze see my recipe#315210

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2/3 cup cocoa, sifted
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
1 1/2 cups unsweetened orange juice (or use 3/4 cup each juice and water or 1-1/2 cups water)
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/4 cups canola oil or 1 1/4 cups vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Set oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Set rack to second-lowest position.
  • Generously grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan (I use my Pan Release for this, make certain to well-grease your pan!).
  • In an extra large mixing bowl, combine all the cake ingredients; mix on medium speed of an electric mixer for about 3 minutes or until very well combined.
  • Bake for about 50-60 minutes or until the cake tests done (if using the streusal the cake will take slightly longer to bake).
  • Cool in pan for about 15-20 minutes before removing.
  • Frost or glaze if desired when completely cooled.
  • STREUSAL; this is only optional and may be sprinkled in the middle of the batter, mix together 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts with 1/4 cup shredded coconut, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon and 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder.

Time 35m

Yield 26 Cupcakes or 1 standard cake, 12-24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups sugar
1 3/4 cups flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup oil
1 cup boiling water

Steps:

  • First, sift (or push through metal strainer) the cocoa powder to get all of the lumps out.
  • Mix in sugar and flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Wisk well.
  • Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla. Mix well, the batter will be very thick.
  • Last, add the boiling water. After mixing, the batter will now be very thin.
  • Pour into 2 9 inch rounds (greased and floured), 1 9x13 (greased and floured) or about 26 standard sized cupcakes with paper liners. With this thin batter, its about 1/4 cup of batter per cup. (Or, 2 full muffin pans and another small sized something for the extra).
  • Bake at 350. 30-35 minutes for cakes and 20-25 minutes for cupcakes.
  • These don't rise to be very large and puffy. They have a flat top, perfect for frosting.

DARK CHOCOLATE CAKE



Dark Chocolate Cake image

While it takes slightly longer to prepare this recipe than a box mix, the resulting moist, delicious cake makes it VERY worth the little extra time. I consider this 'perfect' chocolate cake. This cake is excellent with both with Recipe #261024 and Recipe #208959 (the dark flavor version). (I use Recipe #95416 when I'm decorating the cake.) I love how the leftovers are still moist even a day or two later. (I store my loosely covered with plastic wrap.) My father adores this cake with Recipe #261024 on it. For his birthday, Father's Day etc. I make him cupcakes with the icing on them and individually wrap them. He keeps them in his freezer for when he wants "a piece of cake". He claims they are as good as when they are fresh. (Even though it isn't where I got the recipe from so I can't vouch for it, reviewers have said it is the recipe on the Hershey's cocoa can. I would recommend using their Special Dark Cocoa if possible.)

Time 1h

Yield 20-24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups sugar
1 3/4 cups flour
3/4 cup baking cocoa (dutch process or dark cocoa preferably)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4-1 cup boiling water (see note below)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F.
  • Grease and flour two 9 inch round baking pans or one 13x9 inch pan.
  • In large mixer bowl, stir together dry ingredients.
  • Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  • Stir in boiling water by hand (batter will be thin). NOTE: I have tried it with 1/2 cup, 2/3 cup and 3/4 cup boiling water and we prefer it with less than 1 cup water. I usually use between 2/3 & 3/4 cups. The cake is still very moist but it doesn't seem to "fall" as much as it cools. This might have to do with our high humidity or brand of flour or other factors so I don't know if it will work for everyone.
  • Pour into prepared pan.
  • Bake 30 to 35 minutes for round 9-inch pans, 35 to 40 minutes for rectangular pan or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. (Do not use 8-inch pans or the batter will overflow.).
  • Because they have a tendency to overflow if you fill them more than 2/3 full, I usually get about 27-28 cupcakes per batch. Bake for approximately 18-20 minutes.
  • Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan to wire racks.
  • Please note: baking cocoa isn't hot chocolate drink mix! Baking cocoa contains no sugar and it is found on the baking aisle. Chocolate drink mixes that you add to milk or water to drink WILL NOT work in this recipe.

Kittencal's Best Deep Dark Chocolate Layer Cake image

This will probably be the only layer cake you will ever use, it's a rich, moist chocolate cake that tastes more like chocolate fudge than a cake, you will be making again and again! --- I have also made this using room temperature Crisco butter-flavor shortening in place of butter --- to take this to yet another level add in 2-3 tablespoons of your favorite liqueur in place of the vanilla, I like Kahlua! --- also see my recipe#89207
