BLACK COFFEE CHOCOLATE CAKE
This is the EASIEST dark chocolate cake yet. It is super-chocolaty and very moist. I've been using this recipe for 30-years. NOTE: Here's a substitute for the one cup buttermilk: 2/3 cup plain yogurt plus 1/3 cup milk.

BLACK BEAN CHOCOLATE CAKE
Healthy yet deviously delicious. I got this off of the Soma Studio website. No one believes me when I say it's flourless. I usually make it with a decadent chocolate icing, but I've made it with chocolate avocado icing and it was still scrumptious.

BLACK MAGIC CAKE (BEST CHOCOLATE CAKE EVER!)
When my mother-in-law passed away, a close family friend made us two wonderful cakes. One was the Kentucky Apple cake, which was a hit with the guys, and the other was this moist, dense chocolate cake, which was a hit with my kids and their friends and me as will.

Steps:
- Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350˚. Brush the bottoms and sides of two 9-inch round cake pans with vegetable oil and dust with flour, tapping out the excess. Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda and baking powder in a medium bowl. In a separate medium bowl, combine the chopped chocolate and instant coffee; pour in the boiling water and let stand 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Combine the sour cream, vegetable oil and vanilla in a liquid measuring cup (it will look curdled).
- Beat the eggs and sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until combined. Increase the speed to medium high and beat until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly add the coffee-chocolate mixture; beat until combined. Beat in the flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the sour cream mixture in two batches, until just incorporated. (Keep the mixer on low as you add the ingredients, then increase the speed to medium briefly between additions to beat out the lumps.) The batter should look like hot fudge.
- Divide the batter between the prepared pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes in the pans, then run a knife around the edges and remove the cakes to a rack to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, make the frosting: Whisk the eggs, 1/4 cup milk, the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch and salt in a medium bowl until smooth (the mixture will be thick). Heat the remaining 1 1/4 cups milk in a saucepan over medium heat until just steaming. Gradually whisk the hot milk into the egg mixture, then pour the entire mixture into the pan. Bring to a boil, whisking (the mixture will become thick like pudding very quickly). Continue cooking 30 to 60 more seconds to thicken further, whisking vigorously, then remove from the heat. Pour into a bowl and press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface. Refrigerate until cold, 3 to 4 hours.
- Put the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals until melted; let cool slightly. Beat the butter in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and creamy, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir the cocoa pudding mixture to loosen, then gradually beat into the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Beat in the melted chocolate. Continue beating, scraping down the sides of the bowl, until fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Trim off the domed tops of the cakes with a long serrated knife. Put one cake layer on a platter. Spread 1 cup frosting on top, then top with the other cake layer. Spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides of the cake. Refrigerate 1 hour before serving.

BLACK FOREST CHOCOLATE BUNDT CAKE
Steps:
- Grease and flour a 10 cup (2.5 L) Bundt pan; set aside. In large bowl, beat butter with brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time. Into separate bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir into butter mixture alternating with sour cream (3 additions of dry, 2 of sour cream). Stir in chocolate chips and cherries. Scrape into pan. Bake in centre of 325 F oven until cake tester comes out clean - about 1 hour. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. With plastic knife, loosen rim of cake. Place rack on pan, flip over so cake rests on rack. Let cool completely, then dust with icing sugar.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your cake. Look for a chocolate that is at least 70% cacao and has a rich, dark flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake at the right temperature: The cake should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly and prevent it from sliding off the cake.
- Use a variety of toppings: You can top your black chocolate cake with a variety of toppings, such as whipped cream, chocolate ganache, or fresh berries.
Conclusion:
Black chocolate cake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make a black chocolate cake that is sure to impress your friends and family.
