Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

30 oz full-fat coconut milk, 2 cans
3 cups dairy-free chocolate chunk
¼ cup coconut oil, melted
2 cups powdered sugar
3 cups whole wheat flour
1 ½ cups dark cocoa powder
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch salt
3 cups almond milk
1 cup coconut oil, melted
1 ½ cups applesauce
1 ½ cups maple syrup
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
berry, of choice, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a microwave-safe measuring cup, or in a small pot on the stove, heat the coconut milk until hot, but not boiling (about 2 minutes in the microwave).
  • Place the dairy-free chocolate in a large bowl and pour the hot coconut milk over it, allowing the milk to melt the chocolate. Mix well to combine.
  • Once the chocolate is melted, add the coconut oil and powdered sugar. Beat with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease 3 separate 8-inch (20-cm) round cake pans and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, add the whole wheat flour, dark cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine and set aside.
  • In a separate large bowl, add the almond milk, coconut oil, applesauce, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine.
  • In two batches, add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, folding with a spatula until combined. Some clumps are okay.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the 3 pre-greased cake pans and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out almost entirely clean. Cool completely.
  • Remove the frosting from the fridge and mix it up well.
  • Choose which cake will be your bottom layer and cover evenly with about 1 cup (115 G) of frosting. Top with the second layer, frosting evenly again. Add the final layer and frost the top and the sides of the cake generously, topping with berries of choice for garnish.
  • Enjoy!

THE BEST CHOCOLATE CAKE RECIPE BY TASTY



The Best Chocolate Cake Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: flour, dutch processed cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, baking powder, stout, vanilla extract, espresso powder, butter, sugar, eggs, mayonnaise, dark chocolate, butter, vanilla extract, dutch processed cocoa powder, powdered sugar, milk, fresh fruit

Provided by Scott Loitsch

Categories     Bakery Goods

Time 1h20m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 ½ cups flour
1 cup dutch processed cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 ½ cups stout
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon espresso powder
1 cup butter
1 ½ cups sugar
3 eggs
½ cup mayonnaise
4 oz dark chocolate, chopped
1 ½ cups butter, softened
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
½ cup dutch processed cocoa powder
5 cups powdered sugar
5 tablespoons milk
fresh fruit, to decorate

Steps:

  • Grease and line three 8-inch (20 cm) cake tins with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
  • In a large glass measuring cup, combine the stout, vanilla, and espresso powder. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until it is light and fluffy, about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides occasionally to ensure all the ingredients are being evenly creamed together.
  • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  • Add the mayonnaise and beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • Preheat oven to 325˚F (160˚C).
  • Alternate adding the prepared dry and wet ingredients to the batter. Starting with about ⅓ of the dry ingredients, beat until incorporated. Then add ⅓ of the liquid ingredients, mixing until the batter comes together. Continue until all the wet and dry ingredients have been incorporated.
  • Using a rubber scraper, fold the dark chocolate chunks into the batter.
  • Distribute the batter evenly between the 3 prepared cake tins.
  • Bake for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Place the cakes on a cooling rack and leave to cool for about 10-15 minutes, until the outside of the pan is cool enough to touch.
  • Once the cakes have cooled, loosen the edges using a butter knife. Then place a large plate over the tin and invert to release the cake from the pan. Remove the parchment paper from the bottom of the cake and slide the cake back onto the cooling rack to cool completely. Repeat for the remaining two layers.
  • While your cakes are cooling, prepare the buttercream.
  • In a large bowl, beat together the butter and vanilla.
  • Gradually add in the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and milk, continuously beating until all the ingredients have been incorporated and the frosting is light and fluffy.
  • Frost and decorate to your liking.
  • Slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!

  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water.
  • To make a chocolate ganache frosting, simply heat equal parts chocolate and heavy cream in a saucepan until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • For a fudgy frosting, add a little bit of corn syrup or honey to the frosting.
  • To decorate the cake, you can use chocolate chips, sprinkles, or chopped nuts.

Conclusion:

Chocolate fudge cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is rich, decadent, and sure to please everyone. With a few simple tips, you can make a chocolate fudge cake that is both delicious and beautiful.
