Categories     dessert

Time 1h16m

Yield 12 to 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups sifted cake flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon pure almond extract
1 cup milk (whole, 2 percent fat, or 1 percent fat)
12 tablespoons butter
6 cups confectioners' sugar
6 ounces (3 squares) unsweetened chocolate, melted
1 tablespoons vanilla
1/3cup milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter and flour 2 (9-inch) round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together 3 times and set aside.
  • In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, cream the butter until smooth and fluffy. Add the sugar and mix until blended. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, mixing after each addition until blended. Add the vanilla and almond extracts and mix.
  • With the mixer running at low speed, and working in alternating batches, add the dry ingredients and the milk to the butter mixture, mixing just to combine after each addition. Mix until just smooth. Pour into 2 cake pans. Bake until risen, golden, and firm to the touch, about 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool in the pans.
  • For the frosting: In a mixer with a whip attachment, cream the butter well. Add the confectioners' sugar gradually. Add the melted chocolate, then the vanilla. Add the milk by spoonfuls until you have reached a fudgy yet spreadable consistency.
  • Once the cakes have cooled, place 1 layer on a serving platter and cover the top with frosting. Place the second layer on top of that but bottom-side up, to create a nice flat top. Press down to secure the layer. Frost the top and sides using a swirling motion. Or if you want it to look more professional, do a crumb layer of frosting, chill, then do a topcoat.

CHOCOLATE FUDGE CAKE WITH ANGEL FROSTING



Chocolate fudge cake with angel frosting image

The ultimate in indulgence, this chocolate fudge cake looks like a star with American-style frosting and bakes in just one tin

Provided by Sarah Cook

Categories     Afternoon tea, Treat

Time 2h45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

250g dark chocolate , broken into chunks - standard supermarket chocolate is fine
300g self-raising flour
300g light, soft brown sugar , plus 2 tbsp
50g cocoa
200ml sunflower oil , plus a little extra for greasing
284ml soured cream
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
500g white caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp liquid glucose
2 egg whites
25g icing sugar , sifted

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 4 and grease and line a deep, 20cm round cake tin. Whizz the chocolate in a food processor until crumbs. Tip the flour, sugar, cocoa, oil, 150ml soured cream, eggs, vanilla and 150ml water into the largest mixing bowl you have. Whisk with an electric whisk until smooth, then quickly stir in 150g of your whizzed-up chocolate bits. Scrape into a tin, and bake on the middle shelf for 1 hr 20-1 hr 30 mins, or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool in the tin.
  • While the cake is baking, make the icing. Combine remaining chocolate bits and soured cream with 2 tbsp soft brown sugar in a small saucepan and heat, stirring, until the chocolate is melted and you have a smooth icing. Leave to cool.
  • When the cake is cool, slice it into 3 even layers. Spread 2 layers with chocolate icing.
  • To make the angel frosting, put the sugar, vanilla and liquid glucose in a pan with 125ml water. Bring to the boil and cook just until the sugar has melted and the syrup turns clear. Take off the heat. Meanwhile, beat the egg whites until stiff, then continue beating, gradually pouring in the hot sugar syrup in a steady stream, until the mixture is fluffy and thick enough to spread - this might take a few mins as the mixture cools. Beat in the icing sugar. Work quickly and spread a tiny bit over each chocolate-covered layer. Assemble cake and swirl remaining frosting over entire cake.

GOLD CAKE WITH EASY FUDGE FROSTING



Gold Cake With Easy Fudge Frosting image

This is probably the first cake I ever made that was from scratch and not out of a box. It is still one of my favorites today, and goes perfectly with a tall glass of milk.

Provided by JackieOhNo

Categories     Dessert

Time 50m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 1/4 cups unsifted flour
1 cup milk
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
3 tablespoons butter
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar (approximately)
1/4 cup milk

Steps:

  • For cake: In a bowl, cream butter until light. Gradually beat in sugar and vanilla. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add salt and baking powder, mixing well.
  • Add unsifted flour alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour. Pour the satiny batter into a greased and floured 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 25 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. Let cake cool in pan on rack. Frost.
  • For frosting: In the upper half of a double boiler, over hot water, melt chocolate with butter. Stir in salt and vanilla. Remove from heat and blend in confectioner's sugar alternately with milk, beating smooth after each addition, until the consistency that will spread nicely. Spread over cooled cake.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, ensure all your ingredients are measured and ready. This will make the baking process smoother and more efficient.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Bring your butter, eggs, and milk to room temperature before mixing. This will help the ingredients combine more easily and create a smooth batter.
  • Proper Mixing: Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Proper Baking: Preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking. Check the cake regularly during baking to ensure it doesn't overcook. An overcooked cake will be dry and crumbly.
  • Cooling the Cake: Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. This will help prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off the cake.
  • Frosting Consistency: The fudge frosting should be thick and spreadable. If it's too thin, add more powdered sugar. If it's too thick, add a little bit of milk.

The gold cake with easy fudge frosting is an indulgent and delicious treat that is perfect for any occasion.
