Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 1/2 cups warm water ((or brewed coffee))
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups butter (softened)
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
1 1/2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
7 cups powdered sugar
about 1/4 cup milk (as needed)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly butter three 9-inch cake rounds. Dust with flour or cocoa powder and tap out the excess. Alternatively, you can lightly grease the pans and line with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a stand mixer using a low speed until combined.
  • Add eggs, buttermilk, warm water, oil, and vanilla. Beat on a low speed until smooth. This should take just a couple of minutes. Be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl so that everything gets mixed in.
  • Divide batter evenly amongst the three prepared pans, about 3 cups of batter per pan. Tap the cake pans gently on the counter to allow any bubbles to rise to the top and escape.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes in a 350 degree oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool on wire racks for 15 minutes and then remove the cakes from the pan and place on the wire rack to cool completely.
  • Frost with your favorite frosting and enjoy!
  • In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat together butter and cream cheese until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  • Add in cocoa powder and vanilla extract. Beat until just combined, about 30 seconds.
  • Beat in powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time. Add milk as necessary to make a spreadable consistency. The frosting should be very thick and will thicken even more once refrigerated.
  • Use frosting to frost and assemble cake, or transfer to a piping bag for decorating. Once frosted, this cake should be refrigerated, but can remain at room temperature for up to 4 hours.

KILLER CHOCOLATE CAKE



Killer Chocolate Cake image

Moist and rich, the true secret ingredient here is the soy sauce in the frosting. FOR REAL. It adds just a little salty note that really pulls the cake together.

Categories     Dessert     Cake     Bake     Chocolate     Dark Chocolate     Soy Sauce     Buttermilk

Yield Makes one 9-by-13-inch frosted cake

Number Of Ingredients 18

For the cake:
1 cup (2 sticks) plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 3/4 cups buttermilk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups light brown sugar
3 large eggs
8 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped, and melted (see Note)
For the frosting:
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup confectioners' sugar
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped, melted, and cooled to room temperature (see Note)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch glass or metal cake pan with the 1 tablespoon of room temperature butter.
  • Whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Combine the buttermilk and vanilla in a medium bowl or a 2-cup liquid measuring cup.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl, if using a handheld mixer), cream the 1 cup of butter and the brown sugar on low speed until creamy and well combined. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until light and airy, about 2 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to medium-low and add the eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition and scraping down the side and bottom of the bowl as needed. Once all 3 eggs are added, beat for 1 minute on medium speed to get the mixture nice and fluffy.
  • Reduce the speed to medium-low and add the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk mixture in three batches, starting with the flour. Add the melted chocolate and mix on medium speed until well incorporated, stopping the mixer to scrape down the side and bottom of the bowl as needed.
  • Use a rubber or offset spatula to scrape the batter into the prepared pan and even it out as much as possible. Bake until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and the center of the cake resists light pressure, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely, at least 2 hours, before frosting.
  • Make the frosting: Put the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or in a medium bowl, if using a handheld mixer). Beat on medium-high speed until smooth. Turn off the mixer and sift the confectioners' sugar into the bowl and combine on low speed. Add the melted chocolate, soy sauce, and vanilla and beat on low speed until combined. Increase the mixer speed to medium-low and whip until glossy, 15 to 30 seconds.
  • Use an offset spatula or butter knife to spread the frosting on top of the cooled cake. Cut into squares and serve.
  • DO AHEAD: The cake will keep, loosely covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days. Let it sit out at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

30-SECOND CHOCOLATE CAKE

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 oz chocolate (bittersweet preferably)
4 large eggs
6 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons flour
Powdered sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate. Add and thoroughly whisk together the eggs, sugar, and flour. Pass the mixture through a strainer to remove any lumps and to filter out the chalazaes (the little white strands that attach the yolk to the egg white). Transfer to whipper and pressurize. Spray mixture into a greased glass, ramekin, or whatever microwave-safe container you will cook it in, leaving at least the top third of the container empty. (A clear glass is nice to use, as you can can see the cake rise and fall as it cooks.) Microwave for 30 seconds or until the foam has set. Flip onto a plate and dust with powdered sugar. (For better-tasting results, try adding Nutella or Fluff: Spray a thin layer of cake batter, drop a spoonful of filling into the center, and then spray more cake batter on top of and around the filling.)

Tips:

  • Use good quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better your cake will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a microwave-safe mug: Make sure the mug is large enough to hold the batter without overflowing.
  • Cook the cake in short bursts: Start by cooking the cake for 20 seconds, then check it. Continue cooking in 10-second bursts until the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool for a minute before eating: This will help the cake to set.

Conclusion:

This 30-second chocolate cake is a quick and easy dessert that is perfect for chocolate lovers. It is rich, decadent, and satisfying. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a delicious chocolate cake in no time. So next time you are craving something sweet, give this recipe a try.
