DEVIL'S FOOD CAKE

Time 4h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

15 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 cups all-purpose unbleached flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the pans
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup nonalkalized cocoa powder (not Dutch-processed)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups water
1/4 cup milk

Steps:

  • To make the frosting: Put the chocolate in a large heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, bring the cream to a boil. Pour the cream over the chocolate, move the bowl gently to let the cream settle. Set the mixture aside until softened, about 4 minutes. Whisk until smooth. Cover the surface of the frosting with plastic wrap. Set aside and let set up at room temperature, about 2 hours.
  • To make the cake: Set a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter two 9-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with a circle of parchment or wax paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter at medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Increase the speed to medium-high and slowly add the sugar. Continue beating until light and smooth, about 4 minutes. Turn the mixer off and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the cocoa powder and vanilla and beat at medium speed for 1 minute more. (Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl again, if needed.) With the mixer running at medium-low speed, add the eggs, one at a time, beating for 1 minute between each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • Combine the water and milk in a saucepan and bring just to a boil. Remove from the heat.
  • With the mixer at low speed, add the flour mixture, about a 1/4 cup at a time. Carefully pour the hot liquid into the batter. Remove the bowl from the mixer and, using a large rubber spatula, finish combining the batter until smooth. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Lightly drop each pan onto the counter to settle the batter.
  • Set the pans on the middle rack in the oven. Bake until the cakes begin to pull away from the sides of the pans and the center springs back when touched lightly, about 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Cool the cakes, in the pans, on a rack for 10 minutes. Turn the cake layers out of the pans and cool on the rack. (If not assembling the cake right away, wrap the layers in plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to 1 day, or freeze for up to 2 months.)
  • Assemble the Devil's Food Cake. Place 1 cake layer upside-down on a cake stand or flat plate. Scoop about 1/3 of the icing onto the center of the layer. Using a large, offset spatula, spread the icing evenly over the layer to the edges. Place the other cake layer, rounded-side up, on top. Evenly spread half of the remaining icing over the top, spreading any excess icing down the sides. Spread the remaining icing around the sides of the cake. Use the tip of the offset spatula to make a swirling pattern in the icing. Serve. Store under a cake dome or loosely wrapped with plastic, at room temperature, for up to 2 days.

Provided by Debra Steward

Categories     Desserts     Cakes     Sheet Cake Recipes

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup butter
3 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
1 cup water
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup milk
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour one 9x13 inch pan or two 9 inch round pans.
  • In a small pan melt the butter or margarine with the unsweetened chocolate. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Cream together the sugar and the eggs until light in color. Add the chocolate mixture to the eggs and temper mixture by beating well (so you don't end up with scrambled eggs!) Add 1 cup boiled water (still warm) and blend well. Mixture will be very liquid.
  • Mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add this mixture to the chocolate mixture and blend well.
  • Mix together the vinegar and the milk and stir into the chocolate batter. Pour into prepared pan(s).
  • Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cake divides well for filling with mousse, or ganache, or black forest fillings. The best clue to this cake being nearly done is that you will start to smell the aroma of chocolate filling your house!

DEVIL'S FOOD CAKE

Provided by Dan Langan

Categories     dessert

Time 3h5m

Yield Three 8-inch cake layers, or 48 ounces of batter

Number Of Ingredients 14

Unsalted butter, for greasing
2 ounces semisweet baking chocolate or chocolate chips
100 grams (1 cup) cocoa (use high fat cocoa, 22 to 24 percent fat)
4 teaspoons instant coffee or espresso
8 fluid ounces boiling water
400 grams (2 cups) white sugar
220 grams (1 3/4 cups) all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon table salt
8 ounces (1 cup) buttermilk
4 fluid ounces vegetable oil
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons quality vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease three 8-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment.
  • Combine the chocolate, cocoa and instant coffee. Pour the hot water over to melt; let sit 2 to 3 minutes and then whisk until smooth.
  • Add the sugar, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt into mixer bowl and mix on low with the paddle attachment to combine.
  • Add the buttermilk to the chocolate mixture to cool it slightly more.
  • Whisk together the oil, eggs and vanilla.
  • Add the chocolate and wet ingredients to the dry. Turn the mixer on low and combine until the dry is moistened. Raise the mixer speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes, scraping halfway through.
  • Scrape into pans and bake until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs, 25 to 30 minutes. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 15 minutes, and then turn onto a rack to cool. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
  • Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them to blend together smoothly.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dry cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • For a richer flavor, use homemade caramel sauce. You can find a recipe for caramel sauce online or in a cookbook.

Conclusion:

This devil's food caramel torte is a decadent and delicious dessert that is perfect for any special occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor, gooey caramel filling, and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
