CHOCOLATE CAKE



Chocolate Cake image

A dark chocolate cake with a rich and creamy chocolate frosting -- this is the ultimate chocolate cake for chocolate lovers.

Provided by By Jennifer Segal, frosting portion adapted from Cook's Illustrated

Categories     Desserts

Time 1h

Yield Makes one {9-inch|23-cm} 2-layer cake

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled off with knife
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder, such as Hershey's
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
½ cup vegetable oil
1 cup sour cream
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
8 ounces semi-sweet or milk chocolate, broken into small pieces (see note)
2½ sticks (20 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened but still cool
1¼ cups confectioners' sugar
½ cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder, such as Hershey's
⅛ teaspoon salt
¾ cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly butter the bottom of two 9-inch round cake pans. Line the bottoms of the pans with parchment paper, and then butter and flour the parchment and the sides of the pans. (Alternatively, replace the butter and flour with nonstick cooking spray with flour, such as Baker's Joy or Pam with Flour.)
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix on low speed for 30 seconds to combine. Add the eggs, oil, sour cream, and vanilla and mix on low speed until combined.
  • Increase the speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Then, reduce the speed to low and gradually pour in the hot water (be careful to pour very slowly so it doesn't splash). The batter will be soupy. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl; mix again until evenly combined.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting.
  • Cool the cake layers in the pans on a rack for 10 minutes. Invert the cakes onto a wire rack, remove the pans and cool completely. When the cakes have cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Using an icing spatula or butter knife, spread about ¾ cup of the frosting over the first layer. Top with the second layer, then spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides of the cake, swirling decoratively. The cake is best enjoyed fresh on the day it is made, but it will keep for 2 to 3 days stored in a cake dome at room temperature.
  • Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and cook in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until it's about three-quarters of the way melted. Stir, allowing the residual heat in the bowl to melt the remaining chocolate completely. (If necessary, place the chocolate back in microwave for a few seconds.) Set aside to cool.
  • In a food processor, process the butter, confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder and salt until smooth, about 30 seconds, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the corn syrup and vanilla and process until just combined, 5 to 10 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the lukewarm melted chocolate and pulse until smooth and creamy, 10 to 15 seconds. Do not overmix.
  • The frosting can be used immediately or held at room temperature for 3 to 4 hours. It may lose its shine as it sits-to bring the shine back, run a metal spoon under hot water, then wipe dry with a towel; stir the frosting with the hot spoon and it should shine right up.
  • Note: If making this cake for children, I recommend using milk chocolate for the frosting (Hershey or Lindt milk chocolate bars work well). Semi-sweet chocolate will lend a more intense chocolate flavor (Ghirardelli bars for baking are ideal).

CHOCOLATE LOVER'S DREAM CAKE



Chocolate Lover's Dream Cake image

My husband brought this recipe home. He had copied it out of a recipe book at work. He has never done this before so I had to make it. We have made it twice in two weeks. It is really chocolatey and rich so be prepared. I have never used the glaze recipe, I just find a chocolate frosting recipe here on 'Zaar. I would like to try it with peanut butter frosting. This is a big cake so make sure to measure your pan and make sure it will hold 12 cups.

CHOCOLATE LOVER'S ANGEL FOOD CAKE



Chocolate Lover's Angel Food Cake image

Provided by Corby Kummer

Categories     dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 14 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa (Dutch-processed)
2 teaspoons instant coffee
1/4 cup boiling water
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 cup sifted cake flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
Whites of 16 large eggs, 2 cups
2 teaspoons cream of tartar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a medium bowl combine cocoa, coffee and boiling water and whisk until smooth. Whisk in vanilla.
  • In another medium-size bowl combine 3/4 cup sugar, the flour and salt, and whisk to blend.
  • In a large bowl beat the egg whites until frothy. Add the cream of tartar, and beat until soft peaks form when beater is raised. Gradually beat in the remaining 1 cup sugar, beating until very stiff peaks form when beater is raised slowly. Remove 1 heaping cup of egg whites and place it on top of the cocoa mixture.
  • Dust flour mixture over remaining whites, 1/4 cup at a time, and fold in quickly but gently, using a large balloon wire whisk or slotted skimmer. It is not necessary to incorporate every speck until last addition.
  • Whisk together the egg white and cocoa mixture, and fold into the batter until uniform. Pour into an ungreased, 10-inch, two-piece tube pan (the batter will come to within 3/4 inch of the top), run a small metal spatula or knife through the batter to prevent air pockets, and bake for 40 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean and the cake springs back when lightly pressed. (The center will rise above the pan while baking and sink slightly when done. The surface will have deep cracks like a souffle.)
  • Invert the pan, placing the tube opening over the neck of a soda or wine bottle to suspend it well above the counter, and cool the cake completely in the pan, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Loosen the sides with a long metal spatula and remove the center core of the pan. Dislodge bottom and center core with a metal spatula or thin, sharp knife. (A wire cake tester works well around the core. To keep the sides attractive, press spatula against sides of the pan and avoid up-and-down motion.) Invert onto a serving plate. Wrap airtight.
