Yield Makes one 9-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 16

Unsalted butter, room temperature, for pans
3/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder, plus more for pans
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs, room temperature
3/4 cup buttermilk, room temperature
3 tablespoons safflower oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup warm water
12 ounces white chocolate, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
2 quarts chocolate ice cream, softened
Lightly sweetened whipped cream and milk chocolate shavings, for serving

Steps:

  • Cakes: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch round cake pan (2 inches deep); line with parchment. Butter parchment, then dust with cocoa, tapping out excess. Repeat process with a 15 1/2-by-10 1/2-inch jelly-roll pan. In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together cocoa, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt on low speed until just combined. Add eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla; beat to combine. Add water; increase speed to medium and beat until smooth, about 3 minutes.
  • Transfer 1 cup batter to prepared cake pan and remaining batter to prepared jelly-roll pan, spreading both batters evenly with an offset spatula. Bake until set and a tester inserted into centers comes out clean, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer pans to wire racks and let cool 15 minutes. Invert cakes from pans; reinvert onto racks and let cool completely.
  • White Chocolate Ganache: Place chocolate in a medium bowl. Heat cream in a small saucepan over medium; pour over chocolate. Let stand 3 minutes. Gently stir with a spatula until fully incorporated. Cover and refrigerate until set but still spreadable, about 1 hour. If ganache is too firm, let stand at room temperature or beat with a mixer until softened.
  • Trim edges of rectangular cake. Top with ganache; spread evenly to edges. Using a ruler, cut cake evenly into quarters; stack on top of one another, gently pressing down to adhere layers. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes. Using a ruler, cut cake lengthwise into 1-inch-wide strips, then cut each strip in half (they should be about 3 1/2 to 4 inches tall).
  • Transfer 9-inch cake to a 10-inch springform pan. Place cake strips around perimeter of cake, flush with edge of pan.
  • Spread ice cream over cake in pan; cover and freeze overnight. Just before serving, remove cake from freezer; unlatch pan, remove cake, and top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

This recipe was a disaster! The cake didn't rise properly and the ice cream was too icy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The cake was easy to make and turned out great! The ice cream was a little too soft for my liking, but that's just personal preference.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using a dark chocolate ganache instead of a milk chocolate ganache next time.
