Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
3 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2/3 cup hottest tap water
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, such as Droste Cocoa Powder
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
2/3 cup half-and-half
Mocha Frosting, recipe follows
12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, such as Lindt, 1/4-inch-chopped
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced, at room temperature
2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon Kahlua
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking pan. Line with parchment paper, then grease and flour the pan.
  • Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium speed for 4 to 5 minutes, until light and fluffy, scraping down the bowl. On medium speed, add the vanilla, then beat in the eggs, one at a time, until incorporated and the batter is smooth.
  • Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. In another bowl or a liquid measuring cup, whisk together the hot water, cocoa powder, and espresso powder until smooth. Add the half-and-half and whisk until smooth. With the mixer on low, add the flour and chocolate mixtures alternately in thirds, starting and ending with the flour. With a rubber spatula, scrape down the bowl to be sure the batter is well mixed.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 25 to 35 minutes, until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely in the pan. Turn out onto a flat platter or board and frost the top with the Mocha Frosting. Cut in squares and serve.
  • Place the chocolate, butter, and espresso powder in a bowl. Heat the cream to simmer and pour it over the chocolate mixture, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted. (If the chocolate isn't melted, microwave the mixture for 15 seconds.) Stir in the Kahlua and vanilla and stir until the mixture is smooth. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes only, until cool but not cold.
  • Scrape down the bowl and beat the frosting with a handheld mixer on high speed for 15 to 20 seconds only, until the mixture forms soft peaks. (If you overbeat it, it will curdle!) Spread on the cake immediately with a metal spatula.

Time 25m

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the frosting will taste. Use real butter, cocoa powder, and chocolate chips.
  • Don't overcook the sugar mixture: If you cook it too long, it will become grainy. Cook it just until it reaches the soft ball stage, which is 235°F (113°C) on a candy thermometer.
  • Let the frosting cool slightly before using: This will help it to set and become thicker.
  • If the frosting is too thick, add a little milk or cream: Stir in a little at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
  • If the frosting is too thin, add a little powdered sugar: Stir in a little at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
  • Store the frosting in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks: Bring it to room temperature before using.

Conclusion:

Mocha fudge frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste.
