Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

Cake
1/2 cup water
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon instant coffee powder
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups sifted cake flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup sour cream
Frosting
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
4 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • For cake:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour three 9-inch round cake pans with 1 1/2-inch-high sides. Combine water, chocolate and coffee powder in heavy small saucepan. Stir over low heat until chocolate melts and coffee powder dissolves. Remove from heat. Cool.
  • Beat sugar and butter in large bowl until well blended. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Beat in chocolate mixture. Mix flour and baking soda in medium bowl. Add to butter mixture and beat just until combined. Beat in sour cream.
  • Divide batter among prepared pans. Bake until cakes begin to pull away from sides of pans and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Transfer pans to racks and cool 10 minutes. Using small knife, cut around sides of pans to loosen cakes. Turn cakes out onto racks and cool completely. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Wrap tightly in plastic and store at room temperature.)
  • For frosting:
  • Melt butter and chocolate in small saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Transfer to large bowl; cool. Add sugar, cream and vanilla; beat until smooth. If necessary, refrigerate until firm enough to spread.
  • Place 1 cake layer on platter. Spread 1/2 cup frosting over top. Top with another cake layer. Spread 1/2 cup frosting over top. Top with remaining cake layer. Spread remaining frosting over sides and top of cake in decorative swirls. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover with cake dome and store at cool room temperature.)

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cake will be. Use real butter, not margarine. And use good-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The cake should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes. If you bake it at a higher temperature, the cake will be dry. If you bake it at a lower temperature, the cake will be undercooked.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Store the cake at room temperature: The cake will keep for up to 3 days at room temperature.

Conclusion:

This old-fashioned moist chocolate cake is a classic dessert that is always a hit. It is easy to make and can be dressed up or down to suit any occasion. Whether you are serving it for a special occasion or just for a simple dessert, this cake is sure to please everyone.
