ALL-IN-ONE CHOCOLATE CAKE



All-in-One Chocolate Cake image

This is the perfect chocolate cake: beautiful, melting, intense but not heavy. The batter comes together quickly in a food processor, and the cake bakes at 350 degrees for a while, giving the baker time to assemble the frosting, which is given a luscious sheen by a bit of corn syrup. Use the best chocolate you can find for the frosting, and gild it however you like: with a few flowers, some birthday candles or nothing at all.

Time 1h15m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Butter for greasing baking pans
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup best-quality cocoa powder
6 ounces (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla

1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted

Steps:

  • For cake: heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter sides of two 8-inch cake pans, and line bottoms with parchment paper.

  • Using a rubber spatula, divide batter between pans, and smooth tops. Bake until a cake tester inserted in center comes out clean, 25 to 35 minutes; do not overbake. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes before removing from cake pans.
  • For frosting: Combine chocolate and butter in a large heat-proof bowl, and heat until melted in a microwave oven or over a pan of simmering water. Remove from heat, and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Stir in corn syrup, sour cream, and vanilla. Whisk in confectioners' sugar until very smooth. Frosting should be thick and spreadable.

  • Cut four strips of waxed or parchment paper, and place them side by side on a cake plate, covering the surface. Place one cake layer domed-side down on plate.
  • Spoon about a third of the frosting onto center of cake, and use a knife or a spatula to spread it evenly. Place the other cake on top, domed side up.

  • Proper Measuring: Ensure accurate ingredient measurements for a perfectly balanced cake. Baking scales are recommended for precise measurements.
  • Fresh Ingredients: Employ fresh ingredients for optimal flavor, texture, and overall cake quality.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Bring butter, eggs, and cream cheese to room temperature before mixing. This aids in smooth and even batter blending.
  • Creaming Butter and Sugar: Creaming butter and sugar until light and fluffy incorporates air and helps achieve a tender and moist cake.
  • Gradual Ingredient Addition: Add dry and wet ingredients alternately to the creamed mixture. This technique prevents gluten overdevelopment, crucial for a tender crumb.
  • Do Not Overmix: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough and dense cake. Mix just until ingredients are well combined.
  • Proper Baking: Preheat your oven to the specified temperature before placing the batter inside. This ensures even baking and prevents a sunken cake.
  • Cooling Before Frosting: Allow the cake to cool completely before applying the frosting. This prevents the frosting from melting and ensures a smooth and even application.
