Categories     chocolate     cake     chocolate cake     fudge cake     dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 16

For The Cake
Nonstick vegetable oil cooking spray
3/4 c. butter
3 large eggs
1/2 c. sour cream
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 c. all-purpose flour
1 1/2 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. packed dark brown sugar
3/4 c. Unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. kosher salt
For The Frosting
1 1/2 c. bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips
1 c. heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° with the oven rack in the middle. Spray two 9" round cake pans with cook­ing spray and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
  • For the cake: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine butter and 1 cup water and heat until the butter is melted. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream and vanilla. In a large bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer), whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add the butter mixture and use an electric mixer on low speed to mix until just combined. On medium speed, mix in the sour cream mixture.
  • Dividing evenly, scrape the batter into the prepared pans. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. Place the pans on a wire cooling rack and let cool for 25 minutes. Run a paring knife around the edge of each cake to loosen it from the pan, then invert the cakes onto the rack, remove the parchment, and let cool completely.
  • Make the frosting: Put the chocolate chips in a medium bowl. In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the cream until hot. Pour cream over chocolate and let stand for 1 minute. Now gently whisk until creamy and smooth.
  • Scoop out 3/4 cup of the chocolate mixture into another bowl and set aside the remaining frosting for now. Let the 3/4 cup of the mixture cool, stirring occasionally, for about 1 hour, or until it's spreadable, creamy, and holds its shape.
  • Place one cake on a serving plate, bottom side up. Spread the top with frosting in an even layer all the way to the edge, then top with the other cake, bottom side up.
  • Gently reheat the remaining frosting by filling a medium saucepan with 2 inches of water and placing over medium heat. Let come to a low simmer. Place the bowl of frosting over the water (the bottom of the bowl should not touch the water). Stir until it is melted and pourable. Immediately pour the frosting over the top of the cake. With a metal spatula, quickly spread it to evenly cover the top and let the frosting drip down the sides. Once the frosting is set, slice and serve.

Chocolate Nutty Fudge Cake image

This cake is a decadent indulgence for those of you who love chocolate, peanut butter, and nuts! The soft texture is very moist, dense, and full of rich chocolate flavor. The frosting delights the palate with creamy, chocolate peanut butter and the accent of crunchy, salted cashews. I was on a chocolate binge when I created...

Categories     Cakes

Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 28

1 oz (2 sq.) semi-sweet chocolate
1/2 c hot water
1/4 c butter, softened
1 1/2 c granulated sugar
1/4 c sour cream
2 eggs, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 c buttermilk
1 1/2 c cake flour
2 Tbsp dutch processed cocoa, unsweetened
1/4 tsp espresso powder
1 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt
NUTTY FUDGE FROSTING
1 Tbsp butter
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 c nutella
1/4 c smooth peanut butter
1 1/2 c powdered sugar, approximately
2 Tbsp cocoa powder
1-2 tsp milk or water
1 c crushed cashews
CHOCOLATE GLAZE
2 Tbsp cocoa powder
5 tsp water
1 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp white corn syrup
1 c powdered sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Cake: Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Line the bottom of a 10" spring-form pan with parchment paper. Grease and dust the sides and bottom of pan with flour. Set aside. Combine the chocolate squares with the hot water; stir until melted and set aside to cool.
  • 2. Cream butter on high speed of mixer until fluffy; gradually add sugar and beat well. Add the eggs to batter one at a time; mix in vanilla. Stir in the melted chocolate and sour cream.
  • 3. Combine dry ingredients and add to batter, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Blend on low speed after each addition just enough to incorporate mixture; do not overbeat. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for approximately 35 - 45 minutes or until center of cake tests done. A few crumbs on the cake tester (or toothpick) is okay as this is a dense and moist cake. Cool before frosting.
  • 4. Nutty Fudge Frosting: Stir together all ingredients except the crushed cashews; gradually add a small amount of milk/water to thin the frosting for spreading consistency only. It is a thick frosting. Remove cake from pan and spread with frosting on sides and top of cooled cake. Top with the crushed cashews. Place in refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes or longer to cool and set icing. Prepare chocolate glaze and drizzle over cooled cake; return the cake to refrigerator for several hours before serving.
  • 5. Easy Chocolate Glaze: Place all ingredients in a sauce pan on low heat. Stir and cook ONLY until butter melts. Remove from heat and drizzle over cooled frosted cake. Note: This makes extra glaze that can be stored in refrigerator several days, reheated and poured over other "goodies". You can half the glaze recipe if you prefer.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 5h15m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled, plus more for the pan
1 cup all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note), plus more for the pan
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup packed sweetened shredded coconut
One 1/4-ounce packet unflavored gelatin
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream, at room temperature
1/4 cup unsweetened canned coconut milk
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
8 ounces dark chocolate (70 to 80 percent cacao), finely chopped
3/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter two 8-inch square cake pans, line the bottoms with parchment paper. Butter the parchment and dust with flour, tapping out excess.
  • Whisk the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl. Whisk the melted butter, buttermilk, egg, vanilla and 1/2 cup water together in another bowl until smooth. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until just combined. Divide the batter between the prepared cake pans, smoothing the tops. Bake, rotating the pans halfway through cooking, until a toothpick inserted in the center of each cake comes out clean, about 25 minutes.
  • Let the cakes cool in the pans for 15 minutes, then turn them out onto a cooling rack set over a baking sheet. Discard the parchment paper and flip the cakes right side up again. Let the cakes cool completely.
  • Make the coconut filling: Pulse the coconut in a food processor until finely chopped and transfer to a large bowl. Combine the gelatin with 2 tablespoons cold water in a small microwaveable bowl and let stand for 5 minutes to soften. Heat the gelatin in the microwave until it melts completely, about 10 seconds, stirring to dissolve. Add the gelatin mixture, cream cheese, sour cream, coconut milk, sugar, vanilla and coconut extracts and salt to a food processor and process until smooth, at least 1 minute. Scrape the mixture into the bowl containing the chopped coconut and mix until evenly combined. Let the mixture sit until it is just thick enough to spread, about 10 minutes. (Do not let the filling firm up too much.)
  • Place one cake on a cake stand and pile the coconut filling in the center, spreading it in a thick layer almost to the edge. Top with the remaining cake, aligning the layers directly on top of each other so the cake does not lean. Refrigerate the assembled cake for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, make the chocolate ganache: Bring the cream to a simmer in a small saucepan then remove from the heat. Add the chocolate, shaking the pan gently to submerge it. Allow the pan to stand, off the heat, for 3 minutes to melt the chocolate. Whisk the ganache until smooth, then refrigerate until it is just thick enough to spread (like mayonnaise), about 15 minutes. (Do not let the ganache harden too much.)
  • Stir the ganache again and scoop it on top of the cake, spreading it over the top and sides. Make a swirl pattern on the top with a spatula to resemble a coconut candy. Refrigerate the cake until the ganache is set, at least 1 hour or overnight.

  • Don't overcook the fudge, or it will become hard and crumbly.
