SUPER MOIST CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH GANACHE FILLING AND GLAZE



SUPER MOIST CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH GANACHE FILLING AND GLAZE image

Categories     Cake     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

For Cake:
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened (I use lightly salted)
2 Cups dark brown sugar, packed
4 large eggs
3/4 cup boiling water
1 tablespoon cold drip coffee
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
For Ganache:
2 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
20 ounces fine quality bittersweet chocolate (60% cacao) finley chopped with food processor.
Hint The ratio of cream to chocolate:
Use 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream for every 4 ounces chocolate When preparing a 2 layer cake, you may need to make less.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare 3 8-inch round cake pans with nonstick cooking spray and flour. Cream together butter and sugar, then beat in eggs, one at a time. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together water, cold drip coffee, cocoa, and esspresso powder until smooth. Then whisk in sour cream, cream, and vanilla. Add flour mixture and cocoa mixture to sugar mixture in alternating batches, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Mix together until well blended. Divide batter evenly among prepared pans, gently tapping to remove air bubbles and smooth tops. Bake in the middle of the oven for 30 minutes or until tester comes out clean. Cool in pans for 30 minutes, then remove cakes onto cooling racks to cool completely. While cakes are cooling, you can begin to prepare your ganache. In a saucepan, bring cream to a simmer, then remove from heat. Whisk in chocolate until smooth. You may leave at room temperature until desired consitency is met or refrigerate to thicken more quickly. *Keep in mind that to acheive the glossy appearance of the ganache, it must have set without refrigeration. Refrigerated ganache may be heated again to achieve the desired consistency and appearance. Cake freezes well if well covered. I have made this cake, filled and glazed it with ganache, then frozen it. Upon thawing, I cover it with a light layer of fresh ganache and it was beautiful and couldn't have looked or tasted fresher. I have also decorated with shaved chocolate on top for an even more lavish appearance!

SUPER MOIST CHOCOLATE CAKE



Super Moist Chocolate Cake image

This is a simple chocolate cake recipe that is quite good and very moist. The best part...you don't dirty up a lot of dishes to make. This cake is my personal favorite in part because I don't like frosting but you can frost it with your favorite frosting or add a dollop of whipped cream to the top which is perfect for this sort...

Provided by Diana Gray-McConnell

Categories     Chocolate

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 13

CHOCOLATE CAKE INGREDIENTS
2 1/2 c all purpose flour
1 1/2 c sugar
1/2 c cocoa powder
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 c vegetable oil
2 Tbsp cider vinegar
1 Tbsp vanilla
2 c cold coffee or water
TOPPING INGREDIENTS
1/3 c sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. Stir together flour, 1 1/2 cups sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  • 2. Add to dry mixture oil, vinegar, vanilla and coffee. Water can be substituted for coffee but the coffee enhances the cocoa flavor.
  • 3. Stir until well mixed. Spread evenly in an ungreased 12x8 inch baking pan.
  • 4. Combine 1/3 cup sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle half over batter. The sugar/cinnamon mixture forms a thin crusty layer over top of cake. If you prefer to frost the cake with your favorite frosting omit the sugar/cinnamon mixture.
  • 5. Bake at 350 for 35 to 40 min. Sprinkle remaining sugar/cinnamon mixture over hot cake.
  • 6. Cool 15 to 20 minutes before cutting. Add a dollop of whipped topping to each piece before serving. Seal tightly in plastic wrap any remaining cake (can last for several days if left out or can be refrigerated if not eaten within a few days).

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the ingredients combine more evenly and create a smoother batter.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will incorporate air into the batter and make the cake lighter and more tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Sift the flour before adding it to the batter: This will help prevent lumps and ensure the cake is light and airy.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can toughen the cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help the cake rise evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This super moist chocolate cake is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be dressed up or down to suit your needs. Whether you are serving it at a birthday party or a casual gathering, this cake is sure to be a hit.
