Excellent chocolate cake from scratch with a twist. The coffee adds an extra dimension to the flavor. This has been everyone's favorite for years. A great recipe when paired with a cream cheese frosting. Very moist and enjoyable. You won't go back to a boxed cake again. Also makes great cupcakes.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients for a smooth and even batter.
  • Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda together to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the cake.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and vinegar. Add this mixture to the batter and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans and bake according to the recipe's instructions.
  • Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate or semisweet chocolate in the frosting.
  • If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk.

Conclusion:

This classic Chocolate Dobash Cake is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and tender crumb, rich chocolate flavor, and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
