Time 30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb fine-quality semisweet chocolate
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/4 cup unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Finely chop chocolate.
  • In a 1 1/2- to 2-quart saucepan bring cream, sugar, and corn syrup to a boil over moderately low heat, whisking until sugar is dissolved.
  • Remove pan from heat and add chocolate, whisking until chocolate is melted.
  • Cut butter into pieces and add to frosting, whisking until smooth.
  • Transfer frosting to a bowl and cool, stirring occasionally, until spreadable (depending on chocolate used, it may be necessary to chill frosting to spreadable consistency).
  • Spread frosting between cake layers and over top and sides.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is a good choice.
  • Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them to cream together smoothly.
  • Do not overbeat the batter. Overbeating can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before you frost it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Claim Jumper's Chocolate Motherlode Cake is a rich, decadent chocolate cake that is perfect for any occasion. If you follow the tips above, you can easily make this cake at home. Just remember to use high-quality ingredients and to take your time. The result will be a cake that is sure to impress your family and friends.
