Time 2h
Yield 10 to 12 servings
Number Of Ingredients 17
Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two 8-inch nonstick cake pans with parchment paper.
- Combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. In a second bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, espresso, coconut oil, vanilla and eggs. Make a well in the dry ingredients and add in the wet mixture, whisking until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Bake on the center rack until puffed, the sides pull away from the edges and an inserted cake tester comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove the cakes from the oven, immediately cover them with clean kitchen towels and press any domed portions down¿careful, it's hot! (This will help make sure that you don't have to level the cakes.) Allow the cakes to cool in their pans to room temperature. When completely cooled, invert onto plates.
- For the icing: Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the cream cheese and butter on medium speed, about 2 minutes. Turn off the mixer and scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure everything is evenly mixed. Add the peanut butter and mix on medium speed to combine. Again, turn the mixer off. Mix in the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, on LOW speed (or else you'll have powdered sugar everywhere!). Add the vanilla and mix once more.
- Transfer the icing to a piping bag. Ice the top of one cake layer, using a circular motion, starting from the outside and gradually moving to the center; do not ice the sides of the cake. Set the second cake layer on top of the first and repeat with the icing; again, do not ice the sides. Drag the back of a spoon in a side-to-side motion across the icing on top to lend a beautifully textured look to the icing.
- Sprinkle the iced cake with the chopped peanuts. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

ESPRESSO CHOCOLATE CAKE
Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour three 8-inch round cake pans, then line with parchment paper and butter the parchment. Set aside.
- Using an electric mixer, beat together the brown sugar and butter in a mixing bowl. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then beat on high speed until light and fluffy.
- In a small bowl, combine the instant espresso with just enough water to make a paste (approximately 1/4 cup); stir until the espresso has dissolved. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
- Turn the mixer to low speed and add the flour mixture in parts, alternating with the sour cream. Mix in the dissolved espresso. Stir in 1 cup boiling water until just blended. Divide the batter among the prepared pans and bake until a tester inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 15 minutes, then turn them out onto racks and allow to cool completely.
- For the vanilla buttercream: Beat the butter and shortening with an electric mixer until fluffy, then slowly add the vanilla. Add in the confectioners' sugar 1 cup at a time, then turn the mixer to medium-high speed and beat for 5 minutes more.
- To assemble: Level off the top of each cake layer with a serrated knife. Smear about 1 tablespoon buttercream on a cake plate to help secure the cake, then top with one of the cake layers. Add approximately 1 cup buttercream and spread it evenly around the top. Add a second cake layer and another cup of buttercream, again spreading all around to cover the top of the cake. Add the final cake layer. Working with small amounts of buttercream, cover the sides and top of the cake. Add interesting patterns with buttercream combs, or texture the outer part with a spatula. Serve immediately or cover to keep fresh.

CHOCOLATE ESPRESSO CAKE
I used a shot of coffee from our new coffee machine and added it to an old recipe for chocolate cake. It gave the cake more flavour and we're all coffee lovers in our family! Last night we had a small dinner party and I served it as dessert with organic chocolate ice cream. It was a success!

Steps:
- Turn on oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- Set rack to low or middle shelf position.
- Generously grease and flour a 25cm springform cake tin.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all the cake ingredients & mix on medium speed of an electric mixer for about 3 minutes or until well combined. Or if you don't have an electric mixer like me at the moment, just use a wooden spoon until all the lumps have been smoothed out.
- Bake for about 50-60 minutes or until the cake is cooked in the centre (check with a wooden skewer).
- Ice with chocolate or coffee icing if desired, when completely cooled. Kiwi fruit goes really with this cake, as does mandarine.

CHOCOLATE CAKES WITH LIQUID CENTERS
Made this recipe in a baking class years ago. It's so sinful. When you take your first bite, the liquid center oozes out and makes its own sauce. I serve this with a strawberry coulis and a dab of creme fraiche.

GOURMET CHOCOLATE CAKE
This recipe is adapted from Gourmet Magazine. I found it online. I followed the directions more or less to the letter, except I folded the flour in instead of beating it. It was a little more work, but the cake came out very light, moist, and tender. My family really liked it!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan (or three 9" round cake pans) and dust with flour.
- In a small bowl, whisk the boiling water into cocoa until smooth. Whisk in milk and vanilla.
- In a large bowl or on parchment paper, sift together flour, baking soda and salt.
- In another large bowl with an electric mixer, beat together butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. The batter should be very light and fluffy.
- Fold 1/3 of the flour mixture into the egg, butter and sugar mixture. When combined, fold in 1/3 of the chocolate mixture. Repeat these steps, alternating between the flour mixture and the chocolate mixture, until everything is folded together. By folding the flour in instead of beating it, you will develop the gluten less and have a more tender cake crumb.
- Pour batter into pan, spreading evenly. If using more than one pan, bake the pans in the upper and lower thirds of the oven, switching them mid-way between baking. If using just one pan, bake in the middle of the oven and rotate the ban mid-way through baking. Bake for 20-25 minutes if using three 9" pans, and 30-40 minutes if using a 9 x 13" pan; or until a tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Cool cake in pan on rack for 10 minutes, and then turn out onto racks to cool completely.

Tips:
- Use a quality chocolate: The type of chocolate you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your cake. Choose a high-quality chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a water bath: Baking the cake in a water bath helps to create a moist and tender cake. Place the cake pan inside a larger pan filled with hot water.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- Serve the cake at room temperature: This will allow the flavors of the cake to fully develop.
Conclusion:
This chocolate cake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is moist, tender, and full of chocolate flavor. The frosting is rich and creamy, and the chocolate ganache adds a touch of extra decadence. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
