Birthday? Anniversary? Going-away party? This super-easy, one-bowl layer cake is the perfect dessert for any gathering of chocolate buffs.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Time 1h25m

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

Softened unsalted butter, for pans
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for pans
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal)
2 large eggs, room temperature
3/4 cup low-fat buttermilk, room temperature
3/4 cup hot tap water
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
Chocolate Frosting for One-Bowl Chocolate Cake

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter two 8-by-2-inch round cake pans; dust with flour, tapping out excess. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk in eggs, buttermilk, water, vanilla, and oil.
  • Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake until tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 30 minutes. Transfer pans to a wire rack; let cool 15 minutes. Invert cakes onto rack, remove parchment, then turn top-side up (to prevent sticky tops from sticking to rack); let cool completely.
  • Spread 1 1/2 cups frosting over top of one cooled cake layer. Top with remaining layer. Spread a thin coat (about 1 cup) of frosting over top and sides of cake to create a "crumb coat." Refrigerate about 20 minutes, then frost top and sides of cake with remaining frosting. (For a more refined look, trim domed top of cake flat before layering and frosting.)

ONE BOWL CHOCOLATE BIRTHDAY CAKE



One Bowl Chocolate Birthday Cake image

This recipe calls for mixing all the ingredients together into a bowl, then dividing the batter into cake pans, then baking them. How easy is that?

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Yield Makes three 8-inch round layers, two 9-inch round layers, one 9-by-13 inch sheet or 3 to 4 dozen cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 12

Unsalted butter, for pans
1 1/2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder, plus more for pans
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups sugar
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Chocolate Frosting for One-Bowl Chocolate Cake

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter round or square cake pans, and line bottoms with parchment; butter parchment, and dust with cocoa.
  • Into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, sift cocoa, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. With the mixer on low, stir in eggs, 1 1/2 cups warm water, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla until smooth, about 3 minutes.
  • Divide batter among prepared pans. Bake, rotating once, until tester inserted in center comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes for 8-inch layers, depending on amount of batter.
  • Let cakes cool in pans on a wire rack for 20 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely, right side up on rack.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder: The quality of the cocoa powder you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your cake. Look for a cocoa powder that is labeled "unsweetened" and has a deep, rich color.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can 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 a moderate temperature (350 degrees Fahrenheit) so that it has time to rise and cook through evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use a variety of toppings: You can top your chocolate cake with a variety of things, such as chocolate ganache, whipped cream, or fresh berries.

Conclusion:

This one-bowl chocolate cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, chocolatey flavor and moist texture, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're craving a chocolate fix, give this recipe a try!
