BUTTERMILK-CHOCOLATE CAKE RECIPE



Buttermilk-Chocolate Cake Recipe image

This is no ordinary chocolate cake. Even though it is full of rich chocolate flavor, buttermilk and cake flour make the crumb as tender and light as can be. The velvety smooth Swiss Meringue Buttercream, which has notes of almond and vanilla, is the perfect finishing touch. We've finished off our cake with Magnolia Flower Cake Toppers, but you can also create Camellia Flower Toppers or any design you like.

Time 2h

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups (9 oz.) semisweet chocolate chips
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 large eggs
2 1/4 cups bleached cake flour (such as Swans Down), plus more for pans
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole buttermilk
1 cup hot water
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Vegetable shortening, for greasing pans
Swiss Meringue Buttercream
Magnolia Flower Cake Toppers
Camellia Flower Cake Toppers

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Microwave chocolate chips in a microwavable bowl on MEDIUM (50%) power until melted, about 2 1/2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds. Stir until mixture is smooth. Cool 5 minutes.
  • Beat sugar and butter with a heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium speed until well blended, 3 to 5 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition. Add melted chocolate, beating just until blended.
  • Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Add to chocolate mixture in 3 additions, alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat on low speed just until blended after each addition. With mixer running on low speed, gradually add hot water in a slow, steady stream, beating just until blended. Add vanilla; beat on low until incorporated.
  • Grease (with shortening) and flour 3 (8-inch) round baking pans. Line bottoms with parchment paper; lightly grease. Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake in pre-heated oven until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 22 to 26 minutes. Cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks, gently remove parchment paper, and cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Place 1 cake layer on a cake stand. Top with 1 cup of the Swiss Meringue Buttercream. Spread to edges. Repeat with second cake layer and 1 cup of buttercream. Top with third cake layer. Frost top and sides of cake with remaining buttercream, using a small offset spatula to achieve a textured look. Garnish with Magnolia or Camellia Cake Toppers.

Categories     Cake

Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 17

210 grams (1 and 1/2 cups) plain flour or all purpose flour
40 grams (1/2 cup) cocoa powder, sifted
90 grams (1/2 cup) brown sugar
150 grams (3/4 cup) caster sugar or granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
170 grams (3/4 cup or 1 and 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
120 ml (1/2 cup) buttermilk
120 ml (1/2 cup) hot water
115 grams (1/2 cup or 1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
375 grams (3 cups) icing sugar or powdered sugar
100 grams (2/3 cup) dark chocolate
1-2 tablespoons full fat or whole milk
75 grams (1/2 cup) chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced. Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with baking or parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add flour, cocoa powder, sugars, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Boil the kettle and pour out 1/2 cup of hot water and set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, add butter, eggs, vanilla and buttermilk and stir briefly. Add butter mixture to dry ingredients and stir to combine. Add hot water and stir until chocolate cake batter is smooth. It will be a thin batter - that's ok.
  • Place in the oven for 45-50 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Leave on a wire rack to cool completely.
  • To make the frosting, place butter in a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until pale and creamy. Meanwhile melt the chocolate in a microwave, stirring in between 20 second bursts, until just melted and set aside.
  • Add half the sugar and one tablespoon of milk and beat until combined. Add the remaining sugar and beat until smooth.
  • Add melted chocolate, ensuring the chocolate is still smooth and melted but is not warm. Beat until the chocolate is completely mixed through. If frosting is too thick, add an extra tablespoon of milk. Generously frost the top and sides of the cake using a spatula. Sprinkle over chocolate chips.

PERFECT CHOCOLATE CAKE



Perfect Chocolate Cake image

An incredibly moist, rich, triple layer chocolate cake with whipped cream filling and chocolate buttercream frosting. This was always a favorite in our house!

Provided by BCMASON

Categories     Desserts     Cakes     Chocolate Cake Recipes

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups boiling water
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 cup butter, softened
2 ½ cups white sugar
4 eggs
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 pint heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup confectioners' sugar
⅓ cup butter
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 9 inch round cake pans. Stir together the cocoa and boiling water from the first set of ingredients. Set aside to cool. Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder, set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Add the dry ingredients alternately with the cocoa mixture. Mix only until combined. Divide evenly between the three prepared pans, and spread the batter out flat.
  • Bake for 18 to 22 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, and the cake pulls away from the sides of the pan. Cool cakes on a wire rack.
  • In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla. When the cream becomes thick, add the confectioners' sugar and continue to whip until stiff but not too grainy. Divide into three parts and spread onto two of the cooled layers. Stack the layers onto a nice plate, putting the two creamed ones on the bottom. Place the plain layer on the top. If there is a hump on the top of the cake, trim it off with a long serrated knife. Frost the sides with the chocolate buttercream frosting.
  • To make the frosting, beat the remaining ingredients, butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and cocoa until light and fluffy, about 7 to 10 minutes. Frost sides of the cake, leaving a ridge that sticks up over the top edge. Spread the remaining cream filling over the top of the cake. Garnish with sprinkles, chocolate curls or seasonal fresh fruit.
