Provided by Ashley Manila

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs + 1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup whole milk
1/2 cup melted coconut oil, canola oil, or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup freshly brewed coffee or freshly boiled water
8 ounces semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
20 Tablespoons (12 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
3 and 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°(F). Generously spray two 9-inch round baking pans with non-stick baking spray and set them aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using an electric mixer, combine both sugars, flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt on low until ingredients are thoroughly combined. Set aside.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, yolk, sour cream, milk, oil and vanilla, beating until well combined. Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and beat on low speed until just incorporated. Carefully add in hot coffee (or water) and continue beating until completely combined; about 1 minute. The batter will quite thin.
  • Divide batter evenly into prepared pans.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until wooden toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center of a cake comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Cool cakes for 10 minutes in the pan (placed on top of a cooling rack) before removing from pans and transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Place the chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl and place it over a pot of barely simmering water. Heat, stirring frequently, until the chocolate is completely melted. Remove the pan from heat, then carefully remove the bowl from the pot. Set chocolate aside to cool for a few minutes.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy. Reduce the speed to low and gradually add the confectioner's sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Once all of the sugar has been added increase the speed to medium-high and beat for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla and melted chocolate and continue beating until well combined and creamy.
  • Using a long serrated knife, level the top of each cake.
  • Transfer one layer to a large plate or cake stand. Using a long offset spatula, spread a thick layer of frosting on top, then top with the second layer. Continue frosting the top and sides of the cake. Decorate with chocolate chips, sprinkles, chocolate shavings, or leave as is!
  • Store in the refrigerator, loosely covered, for up to 2 days.

Provided by Jolina

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 cups granulated sugar
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 pieces large eggs (room temperature)
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup coffee (hot)
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter (softened)
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar (sifted)
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (sifted (for the frosting, I used Dutch processed cocoa))
1/3 cup coffee (hot)
1/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
15 ounces dark chocolate (chopped, melted and slightly cooled)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour 3 8-inch round baking pans and set aside (for good measure I also line the bottom with parchment paper but you don't have to).
  • Using the bowl of your stand mixer (or a large bowl if you're using a handheld electric mixer), sift sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla. Beat on low-medium speed until well incorporated (about 2 minutes). Add coffee and stir until combined. The batter will be thin.
  • Transfer the batter into your prepared pans and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out with minimal crumbs.
  • Cool in the pans for 10 minutes then on a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Using a handheld electric mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat unsalted butter on medium speed until light and creamy (about 5 minutes using a stand mixer), scraping the bottom and sides of your bowl as you go.
  • Switch to low speed and add confectioner's sugar, cocoa powder, coffee, sour cream, vanilla and salt until combined (about a minute). Switch to medium speed and beat for another 2 minutes.
  • Add the melted chocolate and beat until smooth (about a minute).
  • Trim the tops of your cakes if they are uneven using a serrated knife or a cake leveller.
  • Take one and place on a platter or cake turntable, smooth side down (trimmed side up). Evenly cover the top with frosting. Repeat with the 2nd and 3rd layers. For your 3rd layer, remember to place it smooth side up (trimmed side down) so that you'll have an even top.
  • Finish the cake by also covering the sides of your cake with frosting. To help even out the frosting on top and the sides, use a bench scraper and gently scrape away excess frosting.
  • Decorate as desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients mix together more easily and create a smoother batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, which will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake rise evenly and prevent it from sinking in the middle.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from sliding off the cake.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Just be sure to stir it every 30 seconds or so to prevent it from scorching.

Conclusion:

This chocolate cake is the ultimate indulgence for chocolate lovers. It's moist, rich, and flavorful, with a decadent chocolate fudge frosting. It's perfect for any special occasion, or just for a special treat. If you're looking for a chocolate cake that will wow your friends and family, this is the one for you.
