Categories     Afternoon tea, Treat

Time 2h45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

250g dark chocolate , broken into chunks - standard supermarket chocolate is fine
300g self-raising flour
300g light, soft brown sugar , plus 2 tbsp
50g cocoa
200ml sunflower oil , plus a little extra for greasing
284ml soured cream
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
500g white caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp liquid glucose
2 egg whites
25g icing sugar , sifted

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 4 and grease and line a deep, 20cm round cake tin. Whizz the chocolate in a food processor until crumbs. Tip the flour, sugar, cocoa, oil, 150ml soured cream, eggs, vanilla and 150ml water into the largest mixing bowl you have. Whisk with an electric whisk until smooth, then quickly stir in 150g of your whizzed-up chocolate bits. Scrape into a tin, and bake on the middle shelf for 1 hr 20-1 hr 30 mins, or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool in the tin.
  • While the cake is baking, make the icing. Combine remaining chocolate bits and soured cream with 2 tbsp soft brown sugar in a small saucepan and heat, stirring, until the chocolate is melted and you have a smooth icing. Leave to cool.
  • When the cake is cool, slice it into 3 even layers. Spread 2 layers with chocolate icing.
  • To make the angel frosting, put the sugar, vanilla and liquid glucose in a pan with 125ml water. Bring to the boil and cook just until the sugar has melted and the syrup turns clear. Take off the heat. Meanwhile, beat the egg whites until stiff, then continue beating, gradually pouring in the hot sugar syrup in a steady stream, until the mixture is fluffy and thick enough to spread - this might take a few mins as the mixture cools. Beat in the icing sugar. Work quickly and spread a tiny bit over each chocolate-covered layer. Assemble cake and swirl remaining frosting over entire cake.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h16m

Yield 12 to 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups sifted cake flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon pure almond extract
1 cup milk (whole, 2 percent fat, or 1 percent fat)
12 tablespoons butter
6 cups confectioners' sugar
6 ounces (3 squares) unsweetened chocolate, melted
1 tablespoons vanilla
1/3cup milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter and flour 2 (9-inch) round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together 3 times and set aside.
  • In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, cream the butter until smooth and fluffy. Add the sugar and mix until blended. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, mixing after each addition until blended. Add the vanilla and almond extracts and mix.
  • With the mixer running at low speed, and working in alternating batches, add the dry ingredients and the milk to the butter mixture, mixing just to combine after each addition. Mix until just smooth. Pour into 2 cake pans. Bake until risen, golden, and firm to the touch, about 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool in the pans.
  • For the frosting: In a mixer with a whip attachment, cream the butter well. Add the confectioners' sugar gradually. Add the melted chocolate, then the vanilla. Add the milk by spoonfuls until you have reached a fudgy yet spreadable consistency.
  • Once the cakes have cooled, place 1 layer on a serving platter and cover the top with frosting. Place the second layer on top of that but bottom-side up, to create a nice flat top. Press down to secure the layer. Frost the top and sides using a swirling motion. Or if you want it to look more professional, do a crumb layer of frosting, chill, then do a topcoat.

ANNE'S CHOCOLATE FUDGE FROSTING



Anne's Chocolate Fudge Frosting image

This is a good all purpose chocolate frosting. It comes from the Anne of Green Gables cookbook by Kate Mac Donald.

Provided by gingerkitten D

Categories     Dessert

Time 25m

Yield 1 cake's worth

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup vegetable shortening
3 cups icing sugar (powdered sugar)
1/3 cup milk

Steps:

  • Put 2 inches of water in the bottom of a double boiler.
  • Add the chocolate chips and vegetable shortening to the top of double boiler.
  • Allow the chocolate and shortening to melt.
  • Stir in the sugar a little at a time.
  • Add the milk.
  • Remove the top pot from the heat.
  • Beat frosting with the electric mixer until it is thick and creamy--about 5 minutes.
  • With a metal spatula or knife, spread about 1/3 of the frosting between the two layers and use the rest to cover the top and sided of the cake.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality baking chocolate for the fudge cake. This will give the cake a rich, chocolatey flavor.
  • Do not overmix the cake batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dry cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the cake.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • For the angel frosting, use a combination of butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar. This will give the frosting a light and fluffy texture.
  • Beat the frosting until it is smooth and creamy. Lumpy frosting will not spread evenly on the cake.
  • If the frosting is too thick, add a little bit of milk. If the frosting is too thin, add a little bit more powdered sugar.
  • Decorate the cake with your favorite toppings, such as chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or sprinkles.

Conclusion:

This chocolate fudge cake with angel frosting is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and chocolatey, and the frosting is light and fluffy. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
