Provided by Jane Hornby

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Time 3h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

650g unsalted butter
650g plain chocolate (70% cocoa)
100ml very strong coffee- espresso is ideal
3 tsp vanilla essence
650g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
950g light soft brown sugar
10 eggs
2 x 284ml/9.5 fl oz soured cream

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Butter, double-line and wrap the sides of the 30cm deep-round cake tin as before. Put the butter and chocolate into a medium saucepan, then stir over a low heat until melted and smooth. Stir in the coffee and vanilla.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda into the biggest bowl you have. Add the sugar, breaking down any lumps with your fingertips if necessary. Beat the eggs and soured cream together in a jug or bowl and pour into the flour mix. Pour in the melted chocolate mix as well, then stir with a wooden spoon until you have a thick, even chocolaty batter.
  • Pour into the prepared tin and bake for 2½ hrs - don't open the oven door before 2 hrs is up, as this will cause the cake to sink. Once cooked, leave in the tin to cool completely. The unfilled cake will keep for up to four days, wrapped as before, or frozen for a month.

Time 1h5m

Yield Cuts into 8-10 slices

Number Of Ingredients 9

100g butter , diced, plus extra for greasing
flour , for dusting
140g best-quality dark chocolate , with 70% cocoa solids, broken into pieces
6large eggs , separated
140g ground almond
1 tbsp kirsch or Cointreau (optional)
pinch of salt
85g caster sugar
cocoa powder and crème fraîche, to serve

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 170C/Gas 3/fan oven 150C. Grease a 23cm/9in springform cake tin and line the base with greaseproof paper or baking parchment. Dust the sides with a little flour. Put the chocolate and butter into a heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water. Heat until melted, then remove the bowl from the pan and stir until smooth. Leave for about 5 minutes to cool slightly.
  • Stir in the egg yolks, ground almonds, and the liqueur, if using. Put the egg whites into a large bowl, add a pinch of salt and whisk until soft peaks form. Continue whisking, sprinkling in the sugar a little at a time, until stiff peaks form.

Cool in the tin (don't worry if the cake sinks and cracks slightly - it will still be fine).

RICH CHOCOLATE CAKE

This dense, single-layer cake is especially easy because it's supposed to look imperfect and requires no frosting. A dozen eggs, nearly a pound of butter, and 12 ounces of bittersweet chocolate make it taste super rich and decadent.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
12 large eggs, separated and at room temperature
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon dark rum
3 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened and cut into tablespoons
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder, such as Valrhona
1/2 teaspoon salt
Powdered sugar, for dusting

  • Place egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on high speed until pale and thick, about 3 minutes. On the medium-low setting, add vanilla and rum. Switch to paddle attachment. On medium speed, gradually add the chocolate mixture and the butter, mixing them together until smooth.
  • Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Sift flour, cocoa, and salt over top of mixture, then fold in; set aside.

1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
1 1/4 cups caster sugar or 1 1/4 cups brown sugar (I use either or half of each)
185 g butter or 185 g margarine (melted and cooled)
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
2 eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Add the vinegar to the milk and set aside after stirring till the milk curdles (should not take more than 5-10 mins) Sift the flour, salt, cocoa, caster sugar (if using) and soda together into a mixing bowl.
  • If using the brown sugar, I add it to the butter while melting it and then cream till mixed.
  • Pour in the melted butter and half the soured milk into the dry mix.
  • Beat well for 2 mins.
  • Add the essence and the rest of the soured milk.
  • Add the eggs and mix for another 2 mins.
  • Pour mixture into a baking pan and bake in a preheated oven at 180C for 30-35 mins till a skewer comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool in the pan for 5 mins and then remove to cool on a rack.
  • When cool either cut the cake through and fill with cream and fruits (strawberry is lovely) (or you can use sandwich cake tins while baking) or just top with cream and fruit.
  • I moisten this cake too usually with a little sugar dissolved in a mixture of 2 tblsp of rum and 3-4 tblsp of water.
  • Drizzle this over the cake(both the parts if you have divided them). If you want it moister then drizzle some more ;).
  • Then fill.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is a good choice.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
