AMAZING SOLAN FAMILY CHOCOLATE CAKE (AKA 3-HOLE CAKE)



Amazing Solan Family Chocolate Cake (Aka 3-Hole Cake) image

This is a Swedish cake recipe; I got it from a dear friend who made it at several parties during college and always got rave reviews. Now I'm the one who gets all the credit when I make it : ) My family loves it; I play the "guess-the-secret-ingredient" game (the vinegar) and no one ever has... though they've guessed everything from peanut butter to cheese! I love it because it's relatively "healthy" (no dairy, no eggs, low-fat), while it's still amazingly moist and chocolaty and dense. (You can make it even lower fat if you use only 1/4 C oil and sub. 1/2 C applesauce).

1/2 teaspoon decaf instant coffee (optional)

  • Add wet to dry a little at a time, stirring as you add.

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help your cake batter mix more evenly and produce a more consistent texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help prevent the cake from sinking in the middle.
  • Do not open the oven door during baking: This can cause the cake to fall.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use a serrated knife to cut the cake: This will help prevent the cake from tearing.
