Mimi's Double Rich Chocolate Cake (From a Cake Mix) image

This is a fantastic cake starting with a cake mix and so easy to do. I bake it in a angel food pan and it comes out great.

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups cake flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups unsweetened cocoa
2 1/2 cups strong brewed coffee
1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
2 teaspoons unsalted butter (room temperature)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups superfine sugar (granulated works fine)
1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar
5 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Set oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cut parchment paper circles to fit three 9 inch cake pans, or 2 larger cake pans (depending on the size and style of cake you want to create).
  • Alternatively, this recipe will make about 3 1/2 dozen cupcakes, using muffins tins lined with cupcake papers.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Set aside.
  • Whisk the cocoa and coffee together until smooth (no lumps).
  • Set aside.
  • In a large mixer bowl, cream butter (about 1 minute), add oil, beat for one minute.
  • Add sugars, beat for 10 minutes.
  • Add eggs, beat 5 minutes.
  • Add vanilla, beat until blended.
  • Alternately add coffee and cocoa mixture and dry ingredients into butter mixture, mixing after each addition, making sure to scrape the sides of the bowl often.
  • Pour into prepared pans.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  • If making cupcakes, bake for about 20 minutes.
  • Spread frosting over layers, and frost entire cake.
  • Another delicious idea is to melt jam until it's syrup consistency (if using raspberry jam, make sure you strain it!) and brush the tops of the layers with the melted jam before frosting them.

ULTIMATE CHOCOLATE CAKE



Ultimate chocolate cake image

Indulge yourself with this ultimate chocolate cake recipe that is beautifully moist, rich and fudgy. Perfect for a celebration or an afternoon tea

Provided by Angela Nilsen

Categories     Afternoon tea, Treat

Time 2h10m

Yield Cuts into 14 slices

Number Of Ingredients 16

200g dark chocolate (about 60% cocoa solids), chopped
200g butter, cubed
1 tbsp instant coffee granules
85g self-raising flour
85g plain flour
¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda
200g light muscovado sugar
200g golden caster sugar
25g cocoa powder
3 medium eggs
75ml buttermilk
50g grated chocolate or 100g curls, to decorate
200g dark chocolate (about 60% cocoa solids), chopped
300ml double cream
2 tbsp golden caster sugar
undefined

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Butter and line a 20cm round cake tin (7.5cm deep).
  • Put 200g chopped dark chocolate in a medium pan with 200g butter.
  • Mix 1 tbsp instant coffee granules into 125ml cold water and pour into the pan.
  • Warm through over a low heat just until everything is melted - don't overheat. Or melt in the microwave for about 5 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  • Mix 85g self-raising flour, 85g plain flour, ¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda, 200g light muscovado sugar, 200g golden caster sugar and 25g cocoa powder, and squash out any lumps.
  • Beat 3 medium eggs with 75ml buttermilk.
  • Pour the melted chocolate mixture and the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir everything to a smooth, quite runny consistency.
  • Pour this into the tin and bake for 1hr 25 - 1hr 30 mins. If you push a skewer into the centre it should come out clean and the top should feel firm (don't worry if it cracks a bit).
  • Leave to cool in the tin (don't worry if it dips slightly), then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Cut the cold cake horizontally into three.
  • To make the ganache, put 200g chopped dark chocolate in a bowl. Pour 300ml double cream into a pan, add 2 tbsp golden caster sugar and heat until it is about to boil.
  • Take off the heat and pour it over the chocolate. Stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Cool until it is a little thicker but still pourable.
  • Sandwich the layers together with just a little of the ganache. Pour the rest over the cake letting it fall down the sides and smooth over any gaps with a palette knife.
  • Decorate with 50g grated chocolate or 100g chocolate curls. The cake keeps moist and gooey for 3-4 days.

  • 4. ********* when I first made this recipe I thought I had filled the pans to much because it puffed up during the first 30 minutes or so, but after taking it out of the oven the cakes flatten to the right size.

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality dark chocolate. The higher the cocoa content, the richer and more flavorful the cake will be.
  • Don't overbeat the batter. Overbeating can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. An overbaked cake will be dry.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • If you don't have sour cream, you can use plain yogurt or buttermilk instead.
  • If you don't have chocolate chips, you can use chopped dark chocolate instead.
  • To make a gluten-free cake, use a gluten-free cake mix.
  • To make a vegan cake, use a vegan cake mix and vegan sour cream or yogurt.
