BAKED FUDGE CAKE



Baked Fudge Cake image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound fine quality semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
10 tablespoons butter
4 eggs, room temperature
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons instant espresso or coffee powder
1 cup chilled heavy cream, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Butter a 9-inch springform pan. Line the bottom with a round of waxed or parchment and butter the paper.
  • In a 2 1/2 or 3-quart saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the chocolate and butter together, stirring until chocolate is about half melted. Remove the pan from the heat and stir until melted and the mixture is smooth. Set aside to cool for a few minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, use a hand held or stationary electric mixer to begin beating the eggs at medium-low speed until frothy, then raise the speed to high and beat the eggs until they are light in color, thick, fluffy and about tripled in volume, about 5 minutes. Beat in the flour and espresso powder. Stir about 1/4 of the egg mixture into the chocolate to lighten it, then fold the chocolate mixture into the eggs in the mixing bowl.
  • Spoon the batter into the pan. Bake for 17 minutes. Cool the pan on a rack for about 10 minutes, then refrigerate until just firm enough to cut, about 30 minutes. (At this point, the cake will be firm and fudgy about 1/3 of the way to the center, and softly set like a mousse in the center.) The dessert can also be refrigerated for up to 5 days and served chilled and firm throughout, or frozen up to 1 month. Serve at cool room temperature or slightly chilled. Shortly before serving, whip the cream to firm peaks.

Provided by Eva Merz

Categories     Desserts

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ package brownie mix
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 bars dark chocolate, broken into small pieces, we used 72%
3 egg yolks
3 egg whites, beaten
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ bar white chocolate
1 toothpick, or skewer

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • In a large bowl, combine brownie mix, egg, oil, and water until creamy.
  • Pour the brownie batter into a parchment-lined springform pan.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, until center no longer wobbles.
  • Leave the brownie base in the pan to cool completely.
  • Whip the heavy cream until it makes soft peaks. Set aside.
  • Pour water into a saucepan about half-full, and bring to a gentle simmer. Place a heat-safe bowl over the pot.
  • NOTE: The bowl should be bigger than the saucepan so that the bottom of the bowl doesn't come in contact with the simmering water.
  • Add the chocolate pieces to the bowl and stir frequently until smooth. Set aside. (Be careful - the bowl may be hot.)
  • NOTE: make sure the water isn't boiling, or you can burn the chocolate.
  • Separate the eggs and beat the egg whites until blended.
  • In a second heat-safe bowl, whisk the egg yolks until blended.
  • Just like with the chocolate, place the bowl with the egg mixture on top of the gently simmering water, whisking heavily for about 2 minutes until it has a lighter color and a creamy texture. Set aside.
  • Whisk granulated sugar into the egg mixture. Slowly stir in the melted chocolate.
  • Carefully fold in the egg whites and the whipped cream until blended.
  • Spread the chocolate mousse over the cooled brownie base in the springform pan.
  • In a glass bowl, microwave the white chocolate in 15-second increments and stir until melted.
  • Pour the white chocolate into a plastic bag. Cut off the tip of one of the bag's corners.
  • Drizzle white chocolate all over the cake.
  • Using a toothpick or skewer, swirl white chocolate into the mousse in small circular motions to make a marbled pattern.
  • Freeze overnight, or at least 6-8 hours.
  • Enjoy!

THE VERY BEST CHOCOLATE FUDGE CAKE



The Very Best Chocolate Fudge Cake image

I have made this cake for the past several years with unfailing applause. I got the recipe from Cooks Illustrated. Do not substitute semisweet chocolate chips for the chopped semisweet chocolate in the frosting-chocolate chips contain less cocoa butter than bar chocolate and will not melt as readily. For best results, don't make the frosting until the cakes are cooled, and use the frosting as soon as it is ready. If the frosting gets too cold and stiff to spread easily, wrap the mixer bowl with a towel soaked in hot water and mix on low speed until the frosting appears creamy and smooth. Refrigerated leftover cake should sit at room temperature before serving until the frosting softens. Recipe for the wonderful Frosting is on this site "The Very Best Chocolate Fudge Icing"

Provided by Miss V

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 55m

Yield 1 2 layer cake, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 tablespoons butter (1 1/2 sticks, very soft)
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (8 3/4 ounces, sifted, unbleached)
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate (coarsely chopped)
1/4 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder (3/4 ounce)
1/2 cup water (hot)
1 3/4 cups sugar (12 1/4 ounces)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 large eggs
2 large egg yolks

Steps:

  • 1. FOR THE CAKE: Adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 9-inch-round by 2-inch-high cake pans with softened butter; dust pans with flour and knock out excess. Combine chocolate, cocoa powder, and hot water in medium heatproof bowl; set bowl over saucepan containing 1 inch of simmering water and stir with rubber spatula until chocolate is melted, about 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup sugar to chocolate mixture and stir until thick and glossy, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove bowl from heat and set aside to cool.
  • 2. Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl. Combine buttermilk and vanilla in small bowl. In bowl of standing mixer fitted with whisk attachment, whisk eggs and yolks on medium-low speed until combined, about 10 seconds. Add remaining 1 1/4 cups sugar, increase speed to high, and whisk until fluffy and lightened in color, 2 to 3 minutes. Replace whisk with paddle attachment. Add cooled chocolate mixture to egg/sugar mixture and mix on medium speed until thoroughly incorporated, 30 to 45 seconds, pausing to scrape down sides of bowl with rubber spatula as needed. Add softened butter one tablespoon at a time, mixing about 10 seconds after each addition. Add about one-third of flour mixture followed by half of buttermilk mixture, mixing until incorporated after each addition (about 15 seconds). Repeat using half of remaining flour mixture and all of remaining buttermilk mixture (batter may appear separated). Scrape down sides of bowl and add remaining flour mixture; mix at medium-low speed until batter is thoroughly combined, about 15 seconds. Remove bowl from mixer and fold batter once or twice with rubber spatula to incorporate any remaining flour. Divide batter evenly between prepared cake pans; smooth batter to edges of pan with spatula.
  • 3. Bake cakes until toothpick inserted into center comes out with a few crumbs attached, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool cakes in pans 15 minutes, then invert onto wire rack. Cool cakes to room temperature before frosting, 45 to 60 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality cocoa powder to ensure the best flavor for your cake. Look for a cocoa powder that is labeled "natural" or "unsweetened" and has a dark color.
  • Be sure to use unsalted butter for this recipe. Salted butter will make the cake too salty.
  • Don't overbeat the batter. Overbeating will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a water bath to prevent the top from cracking. Place the cake pan in a larger pan filled with hot water and bake as directed.
  • Chill the cake completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • For a richer flavor, use a chocolate ganache frosting. To make a chocolate ganache frosting, simply melt equal parts chocolate and heavy cream together until smooth.
  • Garnish the cake with chocolate shavings, chopped nuts, or fresh berries for a special touch.

Conclusion:

This cold fudge cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this cold fudge cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
