Steps:
- Grease and line three 8-inch (20 cm) cake tins with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
- In a large glass measuring cup, combine the stout, vanilla, and espresso powder. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until it is light and fluffy, about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides occasionally to ensure all the ingredients are being evenly creamed together.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Add the mayonnaise and beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Preheat oven to 325˚F (160˚C).
- Alternate adding the prepared dry and wet ingredients to the batter. Starting with about ⅓ of the dry ingredients, beat until incorporated. Then add ⅓ of the liquid ingredients, mixing until the batter comes together. Continue until all the wet and dry ingredients have been incorporated.
- Using a rubber scraper, fold the dark chocolate chunks into the batter.
- Distribute the batter evenly between the 3 prepared cake tins.
- Bake for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Place the cakes on a cooling rack and leave to cool for about 10-15 minutes, until the outside of the pan is cool enough to touch.
- Once the cakes have cooled, loosen the edges using a butter knife. Then place a large plate over the tin and invert to release the cake from the pan. Remove the parchment paper from the bottom of the cake and slide the cake back onto the cooling rack to cool completely. Repeat for the remaining two layers.
- While your cakes are cooling, prepare the buttercream.
- In a large bowl, beat together the butter and vanilla.
- Gradually add in the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and milk, continuously beating until all the ingredients have been incorporated and the frosting is light and fluffy.
- Frost and decorate to your liking.
- Slice and serve.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 338°F. Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks, and place the whites in a large bowl. Let your egg whites sit in the refrigerator to keep them cold until you are ready to use them. This will ensure that the meringue is more stable. Break up the chocolate and place it in a heat-proof glass bowl. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler over hot water that is approximately at a temperature of 140°F. Once the chocolate is melted, remove from the heat, and let cool slightly. When the chocolate has cooled slightly, add the yolks, and mix with a whisk. In a large bowl, whip egg whites with an electric mixer until firm peaks form or when the egg whites are thick enough that you can turn the bowl upside down without spilling it. Add 1/3 meringue into the chocolate batter and blend well with a whisk. Then, add the rest of the meringue 1/2 at a time and mix well with a spatula. Line a 6-inch round cake pan with parchment paper and pour the batter into the pan. Drop the pan lightly on the counter a couple of times to raise the air bubbles out of the batter. Bake at 338°F for 30-40 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool until you can handle the pan. Then, remove cake from the pan and place on a wire rack to cool completely. You can brush the cake with a simple syrup or a liquor of your choice, and dust with powdered sugar to finish. Serve with whipped cream or crème fraîche, if desired. This cake can be served immediately or chilled in the refrigerator for about 2 days. This cake can be kept in the freezer for up to a week.
Tips:
- Use a large bowl. The cake batter will rise a lot, so you need a bowl that can accommodate it.
- Mix the dry ingredients together thoroughly. This will ensure that the cake is evenly flavored and has a consistent texture.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough and dense.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to prevent the cake from sinking in the middle.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
This 2-ingredient chocolate cake recipe is a quick and easy way to satisfy your chocolate cravings. The cake is moist and fluffy, with a rich chocolate flavor. It's perfect for a special occasion or a simple weeknight dessert. With just two ingredients, it's a great recipe for beginner bakers or anyone who is short on time. So next time you're looking for a chocolate cake recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed.
