Yield Makes one 9-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick cooking spray
11 ounces dark chocolate, preferably 64 percent cacao
2 ounces milk chocolate
3/4 cup unsalted butter
8 large eggs, separated
1/2 cup light-brown sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch of coarse salt
1/3 cup plus 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons crushed peppermint candies, plus 8 whole for garnish
1 cup mascarpone cheese, softened
1 cup whipped cream
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9-inch springform pan with a parchment paper round; spray with nonstick cooking spray. Wrap exterior of pan with a double layer of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Set aside.
  • Melt both chocolates and butter together in a heatproof bowl set over (but not touching) simmering water; set aside to cool slightly.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg yolks, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until very thick and ribbons form; stir in vanilla, salt, and cooled chocolate.
  • In the clean bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in some of the egg yolk mixture, then fold half of the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture. Fold remaining egg whites into yolk mixture.
  • Pour into prepared springform pan and place it into a larger roasting pan. Add enough hot water to roasting pan to come 1 inch up sides of springform pan. Carefully transfer to oven and bake until top appears dry but inside is moist and mousse-like, 50 to 60 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat or waxed paper. Place whole peppermint candies about 2 inches apart on baking sheet. Transfer to oven and bake until melted, about 7 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, mix together mascarpone cheese, crushed peppermint candies, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Stir in whipped cream and add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.
  • To serve, unmold cake and dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve with peppermint mascarpone cream and candy garnish.

Categories     dessert

Time 6h35m

Yield 1 (9-inch) ice cream cake

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 stick plus 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 2/3 cups semisweet chocolate
2 (9-ounce) packages chocolate wafer cookies (about 80 cookies)
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 cup semisweet chocolate
8 cups (1.75 quarts) premium vanilla ice cream, slightly softened in refrigerator for 20 minutes
1 cup coarsely crushed red and white striped hard peppermint candies
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
Candy Brittle, recipe follows
2 1/4 cups sugar
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons light corn syrup
2 cups assorted candies (hot cinnamon candies, after dinner mints, candy cane pieces, sliced spice drops)

Steps:

  • For the crust: Cut the butter into pats and add to a medium heatproof bowl along with the chocolate chips. Place the bowl over 1 inch of simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water. Once the butter and chocolate start to melt, stir to combine and remove from the heat. Finely crush the chocolate wafers in a food processor until it becomes a fine meal. In a large bowl, combine the wafer crumbs with the melted chocolate and blend until the crumbs are moistened. Reserve a heaping 1 cup crumb mixture in a small bowl. Press the remaining crumb mixture in the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch diameter springform pan with 3-inch high sides. Freeze 1 hour.
  • For the glaze: In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring the cream and corn syrup to a boil over medium heat. Remove from the heat, add the chocolate and whisk until it melts. Set aside to cool until room temperature, about 1 hour.
  • For the filling: Quickly mix the ice cream, crushed candies and extract in a large bowl with a wooden spoon until blended. Put half the ice cream mixture onto the frozen crust and spread out. Evenly scatter the reserved cookie crumbs over the ice cream in the springform pan, pressing the crumbs down gently. Pour half of the chocolate glaze over the cookie crumbles and ice cream Freeze for about 3 hours.
  • When you about ready to repeat the layers, place the glaze back over low heat, just until pourable, but not warm. Remove the springform pan from the freezer and repeat with the remaining ice cream and glaze. Place back into the freezer for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  • Remove the cake from the freezer about 20 minutes before serving for easy removal of the springform sides. Release the pan sides and transfer the cake to a platter. Break off irregular pieces of the Candy Brittle and peel off the foil as you go. Press the brittle upright, candy side out, onto the top and sides of cake.
  • In a small, heavy bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat, cook the sugar, 3/4 cup water and corn syrup until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat and boil, without stirring, until a candy thermometer registers 300 degrees F, about 15 minutes.
  • Place a 24-inch long sheet of foil on your work surface. Be extremely careful, the syrup is extremely hot. Pour the boiling syrup in wide zigzag lines across the foil. Working quickly and using an oiled offset metal spatula, spread the syrup evenly onto the foil, leaving a 1-inch border. Immediately sprinkle with all the candies, pressing the larger pieces into the syrup to make sure they stick. Be careful not to touch the syrup. Cool completely.

CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH PEPPERMINT FROSTING



Chocolate Cake With Peppermint Frosting image

Dutch-process cocoa and a bit of espresso powder give this simple one-bowl cake deep chocolate flavor without much effort. The generous swoop of fluffy peppermint buttercream frosting makes it a festive treat. A bit of optional red food coloring gives the frosting those classic peppermint candy stripes, and you can dress the cake up even more with sprinkles and shaved chocolate for a special occasion. The oil in the cake makes it extra moist, and it keeps well on the counter for a few days - if it lasts that long.

Time 1h

Yield One 8-by-8-inch square or 9-inch round cake

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/2 cup/105 grams grapeseed or other neutral oil, plus more for pan
1 1/4 cups/250 grams granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 (8-ounce/227-gram) container sour cream
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
3/4 cup/68 grams Dutch process cocoa powder, sifted if lumpy
1 cup/128 grams all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
1/4 cup/55 grams hot water
1/2 cup/113 grams unsalted butter, softened
2 cups/200 grams sifted confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons heavy cream or milk, plus more if needed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract, plus more if desired
Pinch kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
Red gel food coloring (optional)
Shaved chocolate and sprinkles, for decorating (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Set a rack in the center of the oven and heat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease an 8-by-8-inch square or 9-inch round light-colored metal baking pan with oil.
  • In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar and eggs. Use a whisk or an electric mixer to beat the mixture until foamy and slightly lighter in texture and color, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the sour cream, 1/2 cup oil, vanilla and salt, and whisk until combined and smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Whisk in the cocoa powder until combined. Add the flour, baking powder and baking soda, and whisk until combined and no streaks of flour remain. Stir the espresso powder into the hot water, then add the mixture to the bowl. Whisk until incorporated.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and tap on the counter a few times to release any large air bubbles. Bake until puffed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan set on a rack for about 45 minutes.
  • While the cake bakes, clean the mixing bowl and make the frosting: Add the butter to the bowl and mix on medium-high with an electric mixer until smooth, stopping the mixer occasionally to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl. Turn the speed to low, and slowly add the confectioners' sugar. Mix until the sugar is moistened, then add 2 teaspoons of the cream, the vanilla extract, 3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract and salt. Turn the speed up to medium-high, and whip until smooth and fluffy, about 3 minutes, adding a bit more cream a teaspoon at a time, if necessary, to make a smooth and light frosting. Taste the frosting, and add a few more drops of peppermint extract if desired. The frosting can be kept at room temperature while the cake finishes baking and cooling.
  • Top the cooled cake with an even layer of frosting, then use the tip of a toothpick to dot the frosting with a few small dots of gel food coloring, if using. Use a spoon or offset spatula to swirl the food coloring into the frosting to create candy cane-like stripes - just a few swipes will do the trick. If you mix it in too much, the frosting will turn pink. Top the cake with sprinkles and shaved chocolate, if desired. Store leftover cake loosely covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
