Time 1h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

¾ cup unsalted butter
2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
2 cups white sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder in a large bowl of an electric mixer. Add melted chocolate mixture, buttermilk, and eggs.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are measured and ready, and the oven is preheated to the correct temperature. This will help ensure successful baking.
  • Quality Ingredients: Use high-quality, fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Good-quality chocolate and butter will make a significant difference in the final result.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined, being careful not to overbeat.
  • Use Quality Chocolate: Select high-quality chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% for the best flavor. Using a combination of semisweet and bittersweet chocolate creates a rich, complex flavor.
  • Bloom the Chocolate: Blooming the chocolate in hot cream enhances its flavor and makes it easier to incorporate into the batter. Be sure to let the chocolate cool slightly before adding it to the other ingredients.
  • Don't Overbake: To prevent a dry cake, don't overbake it. Check the doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, the cake is ready.
  • Let the Cake Cool Completely: Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting and seeping into the cake.

Conclusion:

With careful attention to detail and the right ingredients, you can create a delicious and decadent double diablo cake that is perfect for any occasion. This chocolate lover's dream is sure to satisfy even the most discerning palate. Remember to take your time, follow the recipe carefully, and enjoy the process of baking this delightful treat.
