Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 2h40m

Yield 10 to 12 slices of cake

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the pan
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
4 large eggs plus 2 egg yolks, at room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream
3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/4 cups half-and-half
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ancho chile powder
Pinch of salt
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 10-cup Bundt pan, making sure to get in all the crevices; dust with flour and tap out the excess. Whisk the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Beat the butter, granulated sugar and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then the egg yolks. Beat in the sour cream until combined. (The batter may look curdled.) Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the milk; beat until combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top and tap the bottom of the pan against the counter a few times to release any large air bubbles. Bake until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 55 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 10 minutes in the pan; loosen the edge of the cake with a wooden skewer and invert onto the rack to cool completely.
  • Make the cinnamon sugar topping: Combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl. Working in sections, brush the cake with the melted butter. Hold the cake over the bowl and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar, pressing to adhere.
  • Make the spiced chocolate sauce: Combine the half-and-half, brown sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, chile powder and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat; cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the chocolate. Let stand 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Serve the cake with the spiced chocolate sauce.

KILLER CHOCOLATE CAKE



Killer Chocolate Cake image

Moist and rich, the true secret ingredient here is the soy sauce in the frosting. FOR REAL. It adds just a little salty note that really pulls the cake together.

Provided by Raquel Pelzel

Categories     Dessert     Cake     Bake     Chocolate     Dark Chocolate     Soy Sauce     Buttermilk

Yield Makes one 9-by-13-inch frosted cake

Number Of Ingredients 18

For the cake:
1 cup (2 sticks) plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 3/4 cups buttermilk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups light brown sugar
3 large eggs
8 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped, and melted (see Note)
For the frosting:
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup confectioners' sugar
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped, melted, and cooled to room temperature (see Note)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch glass or metal cake pan with the 1 tablespoon of room temperature butter.
  • Whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Combine the buttermilk and vanilla in a medium bowl or a 2-cup liquid measuring cup.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl, if using a handheld mixer), cream the 1 cup of butter and the brown sugar on low speed until creamy and well combined. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until light and airy, about 2 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to medium-low and add the eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition and scraping down the side and bottom of the bowl as needed. Once all 3 eggs are added, beat for 1 minute on medium speed to get the mixture nice and fluffy.
  • Reduce the speed to medium-low and add the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk mixture in three batches, starting with the flour. Add the melted chocolate and mix on medium speed until well incorporated, stopping the mixer to scrape down the side and bottom of the bowl as needed.
  • Use a rubber or offset spatula to scrape the batter into the prepared pan and even it out as much as possible. Bake until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and the center of the cake resists light pressure, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely, at least 2 hours, before frosting.
  • Make the frosting: Put the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or in a medium bowl, if using a handheld mixer). Beat on medium-high speed until smooth. Turn off the mixer and sift the confectioners' sugar into the bowl and combine on low speed. Add the melted chocolate, soy sauce, and vanilla and beat on low speed until combined. Increase the mixer speed to medium-low and whip until glossy, 15 to 30 seconds.
  • Use an offset spatula or butter knife to spread the frosting on top of the cooled cake. Cut into squares and serve.
  • DO AHEAD: The cake will keep, loosely covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days. Let it sit out at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • If your butter is not at room temperature, you can soften it quickly by placing it in a microwave-safe bowl and heating it on high for 10-15 seconds.
  • Be sure to whisk the eggs and sugar together until they are light and fluffy. This will help to create a smooth and creamy batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • If you are using a store-bought chocolate frosting, be sure to let it come to room temperature before using it. This will make it easier to spread.
  • For a richer chocolate flavor, you can add a tablespoon of instant coffee powder to the batter.
  • To make a marbled cake, simply divide the batter in half and add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to one half. Then, swirl the two batters together before baking.
  • You can also add chopped nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate chips to the batter for a more flavorful cake.

Conclusion:

Chocolate sauce cake is a delicious and easy dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a moist and flavorful cake that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a dessert that is sure to please, give this chocolate sauce cake recipe a try!
