CHOCOLATE CAKE



Chocolate Cake image

Provided by Anne Thornton, Host of Dessert First

Time 50m

Yield 2 (9-inch) cake layers

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 sticks unsalted butter, softened, plus more for greasing pan
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch processed)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
4 eggs, at room temperature for 30 minutes
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate, melted and cooled
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups well-shaken buttermilk (or 1 cup milk plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice)

Steps:

  • Put a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter 2 (9 by 2-inch) nonstick round cake pans. Line the bottom of each with a round of parchment paper, and then butter the paper.
  • Sift the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt together onto parchment paper. With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, 4 or 5 minutes. Add your eggs, 1 at a time, mixing until completely incorporated before adding each additional egg. Mix in the chocolate and vanilla, making sure to combine really well. Turn the mixer to low and slowly add the dry ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, in 3 batches, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Make sure to let it mix thoroughly.
  • Pour half the batter in each pan and spread it evenly with a spatula or butter knife. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, 25 minutes. Remove the pans to racks and allow the cakes to cool for 10 minutes or so. Loosen the edges of the cake from the pan with a knife, then turn them onto the racks. Remove the paper and let the cakes completely cool.

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Time 1h5m

Yield Cuts into 12

Number Of Ingredients 32

150ml rapeseed oil , plus extra for greasing
250g cooked beetroot
50g cocoa
140g plain wholewheat flour
100g plain white flour
50g ground almonds
200g xylitol , such as Total Sweet
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
50ml skimmed milk
150ml pot natural bio-yogurt
2 tbsp cocoa
100g xylitol such as Total Sweet
150ml pot double cream
150ml rapeseed oil , plus extra for greasing
250g cooked beetroot
50g cocoa
140g plain wholewheat flour
100g plain white flour
50g ground almonds
200g xylitol , such as Total Sweet
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
50ml skimmed milk
150ml pot natural bio-yogurt
2 tbsp cocoa
100g xylitol such as Total Sweet
150ml pot double cream

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 160C/140C/gas 3 and grease then line the base of two x 20cm sandwich tins with baking parchment. To start making the chocolate cream stir the yogurt with the cocoa and xylitol until completely blended then set aside while you make the cake. This helps to dissolve the xylitol granules.
  • To make the cake, first blitz the beetroot in a food processor until it resembles a thick puree. Tip in the cocoa, flours, ground almonds, xylitol, baking powder and soda and pulse briefly to mix the ingredients together.
  • Now add the eggs, the 150ml rapeseed oil, vanilla extract and milk, and blitz again to make a smooth liquid batter.
  • Divide the mixture evenly between the tins working quickly, as the baking powder activates once in contact with the liquid ingredients, then bake for 25-30 mins until a skewer poked into the middle of the cake comes out clean. Cool for few mins then remove from the tins and finish cooling on a wire rack. Once cold, carefully strip off the lining paper.
  • To finish the chocolate cream, whip the double cream until it holds its shape. Stir the cocoa mixture then fold in all but 2 tsp. Spread a third on top of one of the cold sponge cakes, top with the remaining sponge and spread with the rest of the chocolate cream to create a swirly finish. Dot over the reserved cocoa mixture and gently feather in with the end of a teaspoon. The cake will keep in the fridge for a couple of days, but return to room temperature before eating for the best taste and texture.
