GRANDMA'S CHOCOLATE CAKE



Grandma's Chocolate Cake image

This recipe has been passed down through the family for many generations. It is the only chocolate cake recipe I use anymore. The cake is nice and moist and has such a bold flavor. This cake is great for a German chocolate icing, but I have used all types of icings, which all complement the cake nicely. This cake always pleases the crowd when I make it. Hope you enjoy it as much as my family has for all these years.

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

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.

Tips:

  • Use quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cake will be. Use real butter, cocoa powder, and eggs, and avoid using substitutes.
  • Measure your ingredients accurately: This is important to ensure that the cake turns out correctly. Use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients, if possible.
  • Mix the batter thoroughly: Make sure that all of the ingredients are well combined and there are no lumps.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The temperature of the oven is important for the cake to bake properly. Make sure that the oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking the cake.
  • Do not open the oven door during baking: Opening the oven door during baking can cause the cake to fall. Avoid opening the oven door until the cake is almost done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
