Yield 1 chocolate cake, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups sugar
1 cup melted butter (2 sticks)
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup hot coffee (hot water plus instant espresso is fine)
1 cup milk
3/4 cup baking cocoa (nestle toll house works great here)
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sour cream (optional but it gives amazing moistness to the cake)
1 cup whipping cream (double cream)
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 ounces milk chocolate, melted
8 ounces milk chocolate
1/4 cup butter
3 -4 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • grease a 9 inch round pan with a thin film of butter then dust with flour, shake off any excess flour.
  • in a large bowl mix all ingredients listed above in the same order they are mentioned, use a whisk to work out any lumps do not use an electric mixer.
  • pour batter into pan, batter will seem runnier than normal cake batters but its fine.
  • cake will take 40-50 min to cook depending on ur oven, when u find that the center is set test using a toothpick inserted in the middle, it should come out a tiny bit gooey not completely dry as the cake continues cooking while cooling.
  • cool cake in tin on a wire rack then take out b4 its completely cooled, as soon as u feel u can handle it. if it stays too long in the tin it will be too sticky to take out.
  • to make frosting, with an electric mixer whip the cream with the vanilla until you reach frosting consistency,
  • using a spoon gently fold in chocolate and mix
  • frost ur cake when it has completely cooled.
  • you can discard the complicated frosting and just serve with warm chocolate sauce and icecream.
