Categories     dessert

Time 3h50m

Yield 12 to 15 servings

Number Of Ingredients 31

1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon instant espresso
1/3 cups vegetable oil
2 whole eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups dark chocolate
1 teaspoon powdered gelatin
1 1/2 tablespoons cold water
1 cup whole milk
5 egg yolks
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter
2 1/2 cups dark chocolate, chopped
2 3/4 cups granulated sugar
Water
1/2 cup egg whites
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup cake shortening (recommended: Crisco)
Pinch kosher salt
1 1/2 cups dark chocolate, melted
1/4 cup cocoa powder
Seedless raspberry marmalade

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • For Chocolate Cake: Mix granulated sugar, sour cream, whole milk, instant espresso, vegetable oil, whole eggs and vanilla extract in a standing mixer on low speed for approximately 2 minutes or until combined. Scrape the bowl and add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and kosher salt. Mix another 2 to 3 minutes until cake batter is smooth. Pour into sprayed and parchment lined 10-inch cake pan. Bake for 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Set aside to cool.
  • For Chocolate Mousse: Melt chocolate and set aside (keep warm). In a separate dish add powdered gelatin to cold water, set aside. Whisk together milk and egg yolks in a saucepan. Put on a medium flame and cook until 165 degrees F. Be careful not to over cook and curdle the mixture. Pour egg-milk mixture through a strainer into the melted chocolate. Melt the gelatin and water. Add to the chocolate mixture and stir until combined. Let chocolate mixture cool to room temperature. Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks and fold into the chocolate mixture.
  • For the Ganache: In a saucepot combine heavy cream, sugar and unsalted butter. Bring to a boil. Take off flame. Add chopped chocolate to boiled cream let sit for 1 minute then stir until combined. Over-mixing will cause bubbles in the ganache. Only stir until chocolate is incorporated. Set aside.
  • For Chocolate Buttercream: In a saucepan combine granulated sugar and just enough water to moisten the sugar. Bring to a boil, washing down the sides as you go with a brush dipped in water. Bring to 240 degrees F. As sugar is cooking, begin whipping the egg whites in a mixer on medium speed.. Increase speed, as sugar gets closer to a soft peak. Mix the unsalted butter, shortening and salt together. When sugar reaches temperature pour into whipping egg whites. Continue to whip on high speed until the mixing bowl is just warm to the touch. Quickly add the unsalted butter, shortening and salt. Continue to whip for 5 minutes or until buttercream comes together and is smooth. Add melted chocolate and cocoa powder. Whip until combined. Set aside.
  • For Assembly: Slice 10-inch cake horizontally into 2 even pieces. Place first layer of cake in a plastic wrap lined 10-inch cake pan. Spread a thin layer of raspberry marmalade on top of the cake. Spread a thin layer of chocolate ganache on the raspberry marmalade. Spread a 2 1/2-inch thick layer of chocolate mousse on top of the ganache. Top with the second layer of chocolate cake and refrigerate for 1 hour. Remove the cake from the refrigerator and spread a layer of chocolate butter cream on top of the cake. Spread a layer of chocolate ganache on top. Put the cake in the freezer for 1 hour or longer. Remove from the freezer and gently pull cake out of the pan by pulling on the plastic wrap. Keep refrigerated until served.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing.
  • Chill the cake balls for at least 30 minutes before coating them in chocolate.
  • Use a variety of toppings to decorate the cake balls, such as sprinkles, chopped nuts, or grated chocolate.
  • Store the cake balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
