Moist Chocolate Cake In A Jiffy! image

Had a hankering for chocolate cake, but wasn't wanting to dabble in frosting today, so I made my friend Linda's recipe. She usually only served this with fresh whipped cream. I also like the ease of this cake, a one bowl recipe...no eggs either. Enjoy, it's yummy!

ULTIMATE CHOCOLATE CAKE

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.

Super-Moist Yellow Cake With Rich Chocolate Frosting image

This easy yellow cake recipe yields a cake that's remarkably fluffy and moist.

Provided by Genevieve Yam

Time 1h45m

Yield Makes two 9"-diameter cakes

Number Of Ingredients 15

¾ cup (1½ sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into pieces, plus more for pans
3 cups (345 g) cake flour
¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt
4 large eggs, room temperature
2 large egg yolks, room temperature
1½ cups buttermilk, room temperature
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
4 cups (440 g) powdered sugar
1½ cups (126 g) unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1½ cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
¾ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt
¼ cup plus 2 Tbsp. (or more) buttermilk, room temperature

Steps:

  • Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350°. Butter two 9"-diameter cake pans and line each bottom with a parchment paper round; butter parchment. Using an electric mixer on low speed, mix 3 cups (345 g) cake flour, ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar, 1 Tbsp. baking powder, 1 tsp. baking soda, and 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a large bowl until combined, about 30 seconds.
  • With the motor running, add ¾ cup (1½ sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into pieces, then increase speed to medium and beat until butter is in small pieces and mixture looks sandy, about 3 minutes.
  • Turn off mixer and add 4 large eggs, room temperature, 2 large egg yolks, room temperature, 1½ cups buttermilk, room temperature, and 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high speed until pale yellow and fluffy, about 1 minute (be careful not to overmix batter). Divide batter between prepared pans and smooth tops with an offset spatula.
  • Bake cakes until tops are golden and spring back when gently pressed, 30-35 minutes. Transfer pans to a wire rack and let cakes cool in pans 15 minutes. Run a small knife or offset spatula around inside of pans to loosen cakes, then turn out onto rack. Remove parchment and let cakes cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • While the cakes are cooling, sift 4 cups (440 g) powdered sugar and 1½ cups (126 g) unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder into a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer with clean beaters (or paddle) on medium speed, beat 1½ cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, and ¾ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a large bowl until creamy, about 4 minutes. Add half of dry ingredients and beat on low speed until incorporated. Add remaining dry ingredients and ¼ cup plus 2 Tbsp. buttermilk, room temperature, and beat until thoroughly combined. If frosting is too stiff, thin with more buttermilk (1-2 Tbsp.) until it reaches a spreadable consistency.
  • Using a large serrated knife, slice domed tops from cakes. Place 1 layer on a large plate or cake stand and spread a thick layer of frosting on top with an offset spatula. Place second cake layer on top and generously frost top and sides of cake with remaining buttercream. Smooth sides and create decorative swoops and swirls on the top.
