BLACK MAGIC CAKE



Black Magic Cake image

I came across this recipe in 1992 from Classic Baking with Hershey's. Just love this one. A chocolate dream.

Provided by Jody Gaudreault

Categories     Chocolate

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 c sugar
1 3/4 c all-purpose flour
3/4 c hershey's cocoa
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 c strong black coffee or 2 tsps powdered instant coffee plus 1 cup boiling water
1 c buttermilk or sour milk*
1/2 c vegetable oil
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour (2) 9 inch round baking pans or (1) 13x9x2 baking pan.
  • 2. In large mixer bowl, stir together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add eggs, coffee, buttermilk, oil and vanilla; beat on medium speed of electric mixer 2 minutes (batter will be thin). Pour patter into prepared pan(s).
  • 3. Bake 30 to 35 minutes for round pans, 35 to 40 minutes for rectangular pan or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks. Cool completely. Frost as desired.
  • 4. *To sour milk: Use 1 Tablespoon white vinegar plus milk to equal 1 cup. For buttermilk I use powdered buttermilk that I push through a small screened strainer adding it to the dry ingredients, following the directions to make 1 cup buttermilk.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder: The quality of the cocoa powder you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your cake. Look for a cocoa powder that is labeled "natural" or "unsweetened" and has a rich, dark color.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix the batter until it is just combined and then stop.
  • Bake the cake at a moderate temperature: Baking the cake at too high of a temperature can cause the cake to rise too quickly and then fall. Bake the cake at a moderate temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for 30-35 minutes.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly and prevent it from becoming runny.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Black magic cake is a versatile dessert that can be topped with a variety of different things. Some popular toppings include chocolate ganache, whipped cream, fresh berries, and ice cream.

Conclusion:

Black magic cake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor and moist texture, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give black magic cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
