WORLD'S BEST CHOCOLATE CAKE



World's Best Chocolate Cake image

The recipe for this cake, adapted from "Sweet" by Yotam Ottolenghi and Helen Goh, first appeared in an article written about Ms. Goh when she ran her cafe, the Mortar & Pestle, in Melbourne, Australia. Rather intimidatingly for her, the headline for the article was "World's Best Chocolate Cake." It could actually be called lots of things: "world's easiest cake," possibly, requiring nothing more than one large bowl to make it all in. Or "most versatile cake," given that it can be served without icing and just a light dusting of cocoa powder, or dressed up to the nines, as it is here, with a thin layer of chocolate ganache and served with espresso cinnamon mascarpone cream. In the Ottolenghi shops in London, it is smaller and goes by the name Take-Home Chocolate Cake, designed to be shared by four people after a meal. This larger version is no less delicious, and keeps well for four to five days. As with any baking project, you should weigh your ingredients in grams for the best results.

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoons/250 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks plus 1 1/2 tablespoons), at room temperature and cut into 3/4-inch/2-centimeter cubes, plus extra for greasing the pan
7 ounces/200 grams dark chocolate (70 percent cocoa solids), chopped into 3/4-inch/2-centimeter pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons instant coffee granules, dissolved in 1 1/2 cups/350 milliliters boiling water
1 1/4 cups/250 grams granulated sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons/240 grams self-rising flour (see note)
1/3 cup/30 grams Dutch-processed cocoa powder, plus 1 1/2 teaspoons, for dusting
1/4 teaspoon salt
7 ounces/200 grams dark chocolate (70 percent cocoa solids), broken or chopped roughly into 3/4-inch/2-centimeter pieces
3/4 cup/180 milliliters heavy cream
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon/375 milliliters heavy cream
3/4 cup/190 grams mascarpone
Scraped seeds of 1/2 vanilla pod
2 1/2 teaspoons finely ground espresso
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 1/2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit/170 degrees Celsius. Grease a 9-inch/23-centimeter round springform pan with butter and line with parchment paper, then set aside.
  • Make the cake: Place butter, chocolate and hot coffee in a large heatproof bowl and mix well until everything is melted, combined and smooth. Whisk in sugar by hand until dissolved. Add eggs and vanilla extract and whisk again until thoroughly combined and smooth. Sift flour, cocoa powder and salt together into a bowl and then whisk this into the melted chocolate mixture. The batter here is liquid, but don't think you have missed something; this is how it should be.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour, or until the cake is cooked and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few dry crumbs attached. The top will form a crust and crack a little, but don't worry, this is expected. Leave the cake to cool for 20 minutes before removing from the pan, then set aside until completely cool.
  • Make the chocolate ganache, if desired: Place chocolate pieces in a food processor, process until fine and set aside. Combine cream and corn syrup in a small pan and place over medium-high heat. As soon as bubbles begin to appear (just before it comes to a boil), remove from the heat. Get the food processor running again, with the chocolate still inside, and pour in the hot cream in a steady stream. Process for 10 seconds, then add butter. Continue to process until mixture is shiny and smooth. (You can also make the ganache by hand; just make sure the chocolate is chopped fairly finely before adding the cream mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until almost melted, then add the butter. Stir again until the ganache is smooth.)
  • Use a rubber spatula to scrape the ganache into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, with the plastic actually touching the top of the ganache. Set aside until it has set to the consistency you want. If you want a thin layer to spread over the cake, it can be poured over while liquid so that you get an even, light and shiny coating. For a thicker ganache with a spreading consistency, leave it for about 2 hours at room temperature. (The ganache can be stored at room temperature, providing it's not too warm, for 3 days or kept in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. It can also be frozen, although it will lose a bit of its shine when defrosted.)
  • Make the espresso cinnamon mascarpone cream, if desired: Place all the ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat for 1 to 2 minutes, until soft peaks form.
  • Peel the parchment from the cake and discard. Transfer to a serving platter and spread the ganache, if using, on top of the cake. Slice into wedges, divide the cake among plates and, if using, spoon the mascarpone cream alongside. With or without icing, the cake will keep well for 4 to 5 days in an airtight container.

THE WORLD'S BEST CHOCOLATE OATMEAL CAKE



The World's Best Chocolate Oatmeal Cake image

This world's best chocolate oatmeal cake recipe is from my coworker's grandma. Made with chocolate chips, cocoa, and oatmeal, topped with fudge frosting.

Provided by Pinch of Yum, recipe from Mimi's Grandma

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 eggs, lightly beaten with fork
1 3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup quick cooking oats*
1 3/4 cups boiling water
1 12 oz bag chocolate chips, divided (go for the Ghirardelli*)
6 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2-3/4 cup chocolate chips (Ghirardelli again, please)
1/2-3/4 cup mini marshmallows*

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. With an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugars. Add the eggs and mix well.
  • Add flour, soda, salt and cocoa and mix until just incorporated. The batter will be very thick.
  • Add water to oatmeal and let stand for a few minutes. Once oats are soft, add oats/water mixture to the batter and mix well. Stir in half of the bag of chocolate chips (6 ounces).
  • Pour into a greased or buttered rectangular 9×13 cake pan. Sprinkle the top of the cake with the rest of the bag of chocolate chips (6 ounces).
  • Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes or until the surface springs back lightly when touched and your house smells amazing. Do not overbake. Let cool completely.
  • For the frosting, melt the butter, sugar, and milk in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring to a boil and boil for 30 seconds.
  • Reduce heat to low and add chocolate chips and marshmallows. Stir or whisk until frosting is smooth. Pour immediately over the cooled cake. The frosting crystallizes almost immediately as it cools so it's important to get it on the cake while it's still piping hot. Allow the frosted cake to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Or... not.

CHOCOLATE OATMEAL CAKE



Chocolate Oatmeal Cake image

Easy and Delicious!

Provided by The Southern Lady Cooks

Categories     Cake

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups boiling water
1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats (uncooked)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 1/2 sticks butter or margarine or 3/4 cup or 12 tablespoons (softened)
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons 100% pure cocoa
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup pecan halves (Could use walnuts)

Steps:

  • Place oats in a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Set aside for 10 minutes. In a mixing bowl using a mixer cream together brown sugar, white sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk together the flour, salt, cocoa, baking soda and cinnamon.
  • Add the flour to the creamed mixture along with the oats. Mix well with mixer. Fold in 1 cup of the chocolate chips and pour batter into a sprayed 9 x 13 baking dish.
  • Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top of the batter along with the nuts. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven 35-45 minutes checking for doneness as ovens vary. This cake does not need frosting. 8-10 Servings

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the cake will be. Look for organic oats, unsweetened cocoa powder, and real butter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake longer.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Be creative with your toppings. You can frost the cake with chocolate ganache, whipped cream, or even ice cream. You can also add chopped nuts, sprinkles, or fresh fruit.

Conclusion:

Chocolate oatmeal cake is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for a special occasion or a simple weeknight treat. With its rich chocolate flavor and hearty oatmeal texture, this cake is sure to be a hit.
