Number Of Ingredients 13

3 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pans
1 cup boiling water
3/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped (3/4 cup)
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
2 cups packed light-brown sugar
4 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
6 1/4 cups Chocolate Swiss Meringue Buttercream Frosting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter two 9-inch round cake pans. Line bottoms with parchment rounds; butter parchment. Stir together boiling water, cocoa, and chocolate in a bowl. Let cool 10 minutes. Whisk together flour, baking powder and soda, and salt in another bowl.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat butter with sugar on medium-high until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, scraping down sides of bowl. Beat in vanilla, then chocolate mixture. Reduce speed to low; beat in flour mixture in two additions, alternating with sour cream, until just combined.
  • Divide batter evenly between prepared pans, smoothing tops with an offset spatula. Bake until a tester inserted in centers comes out with moist crumbs attached, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Let cakes cool in pans on a wire rack 20 minutes. Turn out onto rack, top-sides up; let cool completely. With a serrated knife, trim tops of cakes so they're level.
  • Line the edges of a cake stand or plate with strips of parchment. Place one cake layer on stand, trimmed-side up, and spread 1 1/2 cups buttercream evenly over top. Top with remaining cake layer, trimmed-side down.
  • Spread a thin layer of buttercream over top and sides. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes (this ensures a crumb-free finish). Spread remaining frosting evenly over top and sides. Cake can be stored in refrigerator up to 1 day; bring to room temperature before serving.

DEVIL'S FOOD CAKE WITH MINT CHOCOLATE GANACHE



Devil's Food Cake with Mint Chocolate Ganache image

Categories     Cake     Chocolate     Side     Bake     Mint     Pastry

Yield makes one 9-inch layer cake

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 sticks (1 1/2 cups) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pans
3/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder, sifted, plus more for pans
3/4 cup hot water
3/4 cup sour cream
3 cups cake flour (not self-rising), sifted
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Mint-Chocolate Ganache (page 388)
Chocolate Mint Leaves (recipe follows)
Chocolate Mint Leaves
18 fresh mint leaves, 1/4 inch of each stem intact
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted and cooled
(makes enough for one 9-inch layer cake)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter two 9-by-2-inch round cake pans; line bottoms with parchment paper. Butter parchment; dust with cocoa powder, tapping out excess. In a medium bowl, whisk cocoa with hot water until smooth. Whisk in sour cream; let cool. Into a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating to combine after each; scrape down sides of bowl as needed. Beat in vanilla. With mixer on low speed, add flour mixture in two parts, alternating with the cocoa mixture and beginning and ending with the flour; beat until combined.
  • Divide batter between prepared pans; smooth with an offset spatula. Bake until a cake tester inserted in centers comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Transfer pans to a wire rack to cool 15 minutes. Invert cakes onto rack; peel off parchment. Reinvert cakes; let cool completely, top sides up. Transfer half of Mint-Chocolate Ganache (3 1/2 cups) to clean bowl of an electric mixer; set aside remaining. Let cool completely, stirring frequently, about 40 minutes. Attach bowl to mixer fitted with whisk attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until ganache holds soft peaks, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Using a serrated knife, trim tops of cake layers to make level. Transfer one of the layers to a cake turntable or platter, and spread top with 1 1/2 cups whipped ganache. Top with remaining layer, cut side down, and spread remaining whipped ganache in a thin layer over entire cake, covering completely. Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.
  • Transfer cake to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Pour the reserved ganache over the top, letting it run down the sides. If necessary, use a large offset spatula to spread from the center toward the edges, so that the cake is evenly and completely covered. Refrigerate until the ganache has just begun to set, about 30 minutes. Transfer cake to a serving plate, and garnish with Chocolate Mint Leaves. Serve immediately, or refrigerate, covered with a cake dome, for up to 2 days.
  • Chocolate Mint Leaves
  • Using a small pastry brush, coat underside of each leaf with a thick layer of chocolate. (If chocolate drips onto the top of the leaf, gently wipe it away with your finger.)
  • Drape the leaves, chocolate sides up, over the handle of a wooden spoon set on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until set, about 10 minutes.
  • Gently grasp the chocolate layer of each leaf with kitchen tweezers. Holding the stem, peel off mint leaf. Chocolate leaves can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Devil's Food Cake how-To
  • When pans are prepared for baking chocolate cakes, they are dusted with cocoa powder rather than flour, which may leave white streaks on the finished dark cake.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, ensure all your ingredients are measured and ready to use. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the baking process.
  • Follow the Recipe Accurately: This recipe is designed to create a moist and flavorful devils food bundt cake with a decadent mint chocolate ganache. Make sure to follow the instructions carefully to achieve the best results.
  • Creaming Butter and Sugar: Creaming butter and sugar together until light and fluffy is essential for creating a smooth and even batter. This process incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
  • Mixing Dry and Wet Ingredients: When alternating between adding dry and wet ingredients to the batter, start and end with the dry ingredients. This helps prevent over-mixing, which can lead to a tough and dense cake.
  • Baking the Cake: Bake the cake according to the specified temperature and time in the recipe. Over-baking can dry out the cake, while under-baking can leave it raw in the center. Use a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake to check for doneness.
  • Cooling the Cake: Allow the cake to cool completely in the bundt pan before attempting to remove it. This will help prevent the cake from breaking or crumbling.
  • Making the Mint Chocolate Ganache: To achieve a smooth and glossy ganache, use high-quality dark chocolate and heavy cream. Bring the cream to a simmer and then pour it over the chopped chocolate, whisking until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  • Pouring the Ganache: Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring it over the cooled cake. This will help prevent the ganache from soaking into the cake too much.
  • Chilling the Cake: After pouring the ganache, chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the ganache to set and firm up.

Conclusion:

This delectable devils food bundt cake with mint chocolate ganache is a symphony of flavors and textures. The moist and fluffy cake pairs perfectly with the rich and creamy ganache, creating a dessert that will impress any chocolate lover.
