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.

Provided by Raquel Pelzel

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.

BUTTERMILK CARAMEL SAUCE



Buttermilk Caramel Sauce image

Rich. Sweet. Buttery. Buttermilk Caramel Sauce is a caramel sauce recipe like no other. I prefer it as an ice cream topping, but many call this stuff "buttermilk syrup" and have it over waffles and pancakes for breakfast. Caramel for breakfast?! I'm totally in.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups white sugar
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 tablespoons dark corn syrup
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
2 teaspoons vanilla

Steps:

  • Mix together the sugar, buttermilk, butter, corn syrup, baking soda and salt in a medium to large saucepan (a larger saucepan is important, as the mixture will foam up).
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to simmer.
  • As soon as the mixture starts simmering, set the timer for 7 minutes.
  • Continue cooking (it'll start boiling soon), stirring frequently. The mixture will gradually become a light amber color as the sugar caramelizes.
  • When the timer goes off, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Let cool slightly, then serve over ice cream (or if you really want to go the breakfast route: Pancakes, waffles, french toast, fruit, you name it.)
  • The sauce thickens as it cools, but it should still be pourable. If it gets too thick, just set the container in some warm water or microwave for a few seconds to thin it.
