GRANNY CAKE

Granny Cake image

This cake was served at my nephew's pig picking after his wedding and it was delicious. You could hear everyone asking for the recipe! It is a bit different than the others posted. The original recipe calls for milnot instead of evaporated milk, but Zaar does not recognize milnot. The person that gave me the recipe said milnot may not be available in our area and evaporated milk could be substituted. I made this cake today for my cousin, who has broken her wrist. Needless to say, she and her boyfriend were delighted and loved it. It was so easy to make. It came out moist and delicious. If you prepare this, I hope you enjoy it!

GRANNY'S CHOCOLATE CAKE

Granny's Chocolate Cake image

This cake recipe was adapted from the chef Larry Forgione, who served his grandmother's cake recipe at his restaurant An American Place. The dessert proved so popular that every time he tried to take it off of the menu, he said his customers threatened to riot. It's a perfect proportion of crumb to buttercream, ideal for birthdays or other celebrations where layer cake is required.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

Butter and flour for preparing pans
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
11 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted
Chocolate frosting (see recipe)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter 3 9-inch round cake pans, and line the bottoms with wax or parchment paper. Lightly butter the paper. Dust pans with flour, and shake out excess.
Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, combine buttermilk and vanilla.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer set at medium-high speed, cream the butter. Slowly add the sugar, and continue beating until well blended and light colored. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add dry ingredients alternately with the buttermilk mixture in 2 or 3 additions, beating well after each addition. Beat in the melted chocolate until well blended. Spoon batter into prepared pans, and smooth tops with a rubber spatula.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center of a cake layer comes out clean. Let cake layers cool in the pans on wire racks for 10 minutes, then invert onto other racks and peel off the paper. Invert again, and let cool completely on the racks. Frost with chocolate frosting.

Tips:

Use fresh, ripe bananas for the best flavor.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
Creaming the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy is essential for a tender cake.
Be sure to measure your flour correctly. Too much flour will make the cake dry.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it.
If you're using a cream cheese frosting, be sure to bring the cream cheese to room temperature before beating it.
For a richer frosting, use heavy cream instead of milk.
If you're making the cake ahead of time, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Conclusion:

Granny cake is a classic Southern dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its moist, tender crumb and sweet, creamy frosting, it's the perfect cake for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make dessert, give granny cake a try!
