THE SILVER PALATE'S CHOCOLATE CAKE



The Silver Palate's Chocolate Cake image

This recipe is adapted from "The Silver Palate Cookbook," written by Sheila Lukins and Julee Rosso, who through their store in Manhattan, the Silver Palate, introduced bisteeya and poppy-seed dressing to the Upper West Side. For many, their cookbook, originally published in 1982, was a book of revelations: even if you hadn't mastered the art of French cooking, a meal of chicken Marbella and an indulgent dessert, cooked with confidence, was not beyond your grasp. Enter this decadent chocolate cake, whose title belies its incredible simplicity. The ingredients take hardly any time to whip together, and it bakes in a tube pan for under an hour. Gild it with a gooey chocolate frosting, and feed it to those you love with good cheer.

Time 1h15m

Yield 12 servings

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing pan

3 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup sour cream

MADE-IN-THE-PAN CHOCOLATE CAKE



Made-in-the-Pan Chocolate Cake image

This surprisingly tender vegan chocolate cake is made entirely in an 8-by-8-inch baking pan: Just toss in the ingredients, stir until you don't see any flour streaks, then bake. For flourish, add a small handful of chocolate chips before baking or sprinkle the finished cake with a little confectioners' sugar. Adapted from Mollie Katzen's "Honest Pretzels: And 64 Other Amazing Recipes for Kids Who Love to Cook," this recipe was developed for kids, but adults love it, too. It's an ideal snacking cake, or you could gussy it up with a simple ganache frosting.

Categories     snack, cookies and bars, dessert

Time 45m

Yield 9 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 cups/160 grams all-purpose flour
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
1/3 cup/30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup/80 milliliters canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
2 tablespoons semisweet or vegan chocolate chips (optional)
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting on top (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Add the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt to an 8-by-8-inch square glass or metal baking dish. Whisk the mixture together until uniform in color. Use your fingers to break apart any lumps.
  • Add 1 cup water along with the oil, vanilla extract and vinegar. Stir slowly with a fork or a whisk in small circles to blend. Mash, scrape and stir with a fork and spoon until the mixture becomes a smooth and uniform batter.
  • Scrape the sides of the baking dish with a rubber spatula and spread the batter in an even layer. Sprinkle with chocolate chips, if using.
  • Use a damp paper towel to wipe the edges of the baking dish clean. Carefully transfer the dish to the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the batter comes out mostly clean, 28 to 33 minutes. (Instead of looking like you dipped the toothpick in chocolate frosting, it should look like it has some chocolate cake crumbs clinging to it.)
  • Remove from the oven, let cool, then cut the cake into squares. If you're feeling fancy, this tastes good (and looks pretty) with some confectioners' sugar dusted on top.

Tips:

  • Use good quality chocolate: The chocolate you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your cake. Look for a chocolate that is at least 70% cocoa solids.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a tube pan: A tube pan allows the cake to rise evenly and prevents it from sticking to the pan.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Decorate the cake with your favorite toppings: You can use chocolate chips, sprinkles, or even fresh fruit to decorate your cake.

Conclusion:

Chocolate Tube Pan Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is moist, chocolatey, and has a delicate crumb. The cake can be decorated with your favorite toppings, making it a versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
