Guessing I posted here before as I make this cake all the time. Update: went ahead and tried it anyways it was definitely enough for the naked cake look, ie just inside and on top! I liked your frosting a lot, but the chocolate didnt fully emulsify. even a day later (made it on day one, frosted it day two) it was starting to dry out. Just made this cake tonight and as I have a milk allergy I replaced the buttermilk with 1/2 cup strong coffee and 1/4 cup red wine!! Thanks! I love the buttermilk and richness from the egg yolk. (Ive mostly cut out eating sugar but this cake looks like it has little enough of it that it would be good when I want a treat!). I mean, just look at this cake!! ;). Baking this cake in NZ and looking forward to eating it tonight. Will definitely make again. I couldnt figure out what Id done, but probably using an incing mixture instead of pure icing sugar, with the 70% dk choc, meant there wasnt *quite* enough sugar to soften the edge of that very bittersweet chocolate. I adjusted to the 115 g of butter without adjusting for the extra heavy cream. How much sugar can I reduce in this cake? Normally I cook in vast quantities (no idea why, its just me and hubbymaybe I was the mother of 8 in a past life?) It was rich but not overwhelming for little mouths and got rave reviews from the grownups too. Also, for the buttermilk, I mixed 1/2 cup black tea with 1/4 cup yogurt, and that worked really well. Thanks for the update! Have a great weekend! The frosting was delicious but I didnt find using a food processor to be convenient powdered sugar clouds poofed out and it was difficult to wipe down the bowl to get everything evenly incorporated. I riffed off your frosting to make rocky road frosting by adding mini marshmallows and chopped toasted pecans. INCREDIBLE cake! while at target i found star sprinkles for a buck as part of an easter baking end cap display. SOI wondered if this method for making frosting could work for a vanilla frosting using the food processor rather than stand mixer and if so, what youd do about quantities without the liquid that comes from melted chocolate here. Thanks for such a beautiful site Deb. Do you have Smitten Kitchen Every Day? I want to triple this to make a 9 inch 2 layer cake and a dozen cupcakes for a birthday party, but Id like to split up the work. The batter was so good I didnt want to bake it, and the resulting cake is very rich but still so fluffy and light. liz I have no idea! This is happening tonight. My family enjoyed every bite. It turned grainy or separated or something. Its wonderful. which i should buy just to havebut in the meantime. anyway I came here looking for the fudgy chocolate cake recipe, that I used for cupcakes a couple months ago. thank you! So, here is the promised Oh My God, Is That Chocolate Cake? Im not much of a baker. THanks! I put about a teaspoon of cloves into the dry ingredients sometimes. ( thanks to the hereditary sweet tooth). There is a need for certain things (I went through an egg phase, hamburger phase, chocolate cake phase) that can only be described as a deep aching soul hungerI havent ever been truly starving before, thank goodness, but I imagine pregnant cravings are similarthanks for letting those of us who are past that stage in life live vicariously through you and your delicious soul satisfying recipes! Are you saying this is not normal? I love your best birthday cake with the chocolate sour cream frosting, but tonight I wanted chocolate cake, so I thought this was the appropriate recipe to try. -frosted with a ginger spiced dairy free buttercream, The result was amazing-ness! Cupcakes Usually bake for 17 to 20 minutes. I suspect the culprit was too much flour, not enough moisture I used whole milk mixed with buttermilk powder, and my cocoa is old too. Jane M Ugh, I give up. I did have to make the substitution of sour cream thinned with milk for the buttermilk, but it was still a fantastic cake! Love your blog! What say you, Guru of the Kitchen? Just made this with two 6-inch rounds (following Debs recent advice!) And, you know, now. I found you last year, bought the book, and have since made at least a dozen cakes and more. So the question of saving it for later doesnt even arise! Thanks. INSTRUCTIONS. Several typos in my comment, whoops! -cut down the sugar in the frosting to 1 cup, which was more than enough frosting for the people I fed it to, and it tasted very buttery, which is my preference. I live at 5000ft, so I added an extra 2Tbs of buttermilk, cut the baking powder down by 1/8tsp (to 3/8 tsp), and baked about 10 degrees higher for more like 30 minutes. Not sure if you still think this would be worthwhile, but if you were to do it, I would -totally- use it. Your name for the cake reminded me of our favorite chocolate cake recipe -That Chocolate Cake. But as youve proven multiple times a person can have several favorites; especially brownies and chocolate cake. -baking time was approximately 35 minutes Despite not having quite the right ingredients (had to use salted butter, 2% milk, and messed up the eggs and did all whole instead of one yolk and one whole) it turned out perfect. Thanks for sharing! Do I need to double the recipe and how long should I bake them for? I used a full fat cream-on-top plain yogurt from Trader Joes in lieu of buttermilk. Free shipping for many products! My husband promised my kids dessert last night, and it was up to me to fulfill this promise. I found your blog through Bloglovin and drew immediately from the Chocolate Cake. Was there a brown butter-sugar glaze on it too? Turned out great Thank you! Im fairly new to gluten-free cooking, but learned a good trick to get rid of the sometimes gritty taste the baked goods can have: let the batter rest for 30 min before baking. Delicious!! I have made the recipe three times now. Your one-bowl chocolate cake is PERFECTION. I want real cake made with real butter and real sugar and good chocolate, I just try to limit portion size. Thank you Deb for another amazing recipe! The color was beautiful and the taste was rich and chocolately in the best possible way. Oh Deb, as I am now a little over 4 months pregnant, I cannot tell you how thrilled I am that our cravings are in sync. What shall I do? 1 / 4 teaspoon fine sea salt or table salt. Is it the same as far as acidity as regular buttermilk? TMI? Does it take longer to eat as little squares or should I just do my usual with your cakes and pies and scoff the lot at a sitting. My daughters licked the frosting bowl clean! I used a hand-held mixer, and made the frosting the same way, so not only did I not have to clean the food processor, I had the beater blades to clean. Would it be possible to switch the frosting to vanilla? Made this cake last night. Smitten Kitchen's cake, which is baked in a single layer in a square pan, met a similar fate. This cake is delicious and a great size if someone does not want to make large cake. Its what I have always wanted my homemade chocolate frosting to taste like. Definitely only two ounces chocolate, right? You can also bake it as a lovely loaf. Could it be made in a sheet pan? Mission accomplished. Thank you for being an inspiration to get me started. Much tastier and more fun than the box mix I was about to do instead. Would this be enough frosting for three layers? You never disappoint. Thank you! I was generous with the icing, which brings this cake together. I am allergic to dairy what substitute do you recommend for the buttermilk? No one will know that there are a few pieces missing, right? I only got ten cupcakes. He tested covid +Ve and he is completely asymptomatic. I love your recipes! More cocoa, brown sugar, that extra egg yolk for richness, etc, etc. I will definitely make it again. Thanks for the fantastic recipe. This is kind of like a cross between a brownie and chocolate cake, but not like a cakey brownie, if that makes sense. Also, Deb, keep doing what youre doing! I hope I can get to the bottom of it. Its weirdly labourous but worth the time. Thank you for the laughs and the chocolate as I wrap up my hell week! And, you my dear, are apparently my enabler! I made it today for a cast party for a community theatre again, accolades from the crowd. Anyway, DELICIOUS and for sure my new go-to one bowl, easy-as-can-be, need it now chocolate cake. Can you explain how you choose a pan when doubling a recipe? Thank you for this quick and delicious recipe! This is a great cake! Not related to this awesome looking cake, but since you are the queen of all things brown butter- have you tried making Brown butter scones? So, tomorrow is my birthday, and Im already planning to make David Lebovitzs salted butterscotch pudding, BUT we are also getting a decent snowstorm, so I think the weekend might require this chocolate cake as well! Beautiful Deb! And its beginning to be like my cure-all for days Im in a sour mood. Thanks, Deb!!!!!! Im thinking if I work with it while frozen all will be fine.any thoughts? Thanks! Scrape down bowl then process for another 1 to 2 minutes (updated based on feedback) just until smooth and somewhat fluffed. I need to stop reading this blog while pregnant First the cornbread muffins, now the chocolate cake. Reasons for this: the pickled onion recipe should be on my fridge, the sweet tart recipe I use with everything, etc. However, the frosting saves the day here! However, just a small critique, the instructions re: eggs is very confusing and actually ended up leaving me short. Many a night comes were I want chocolate cake, bake one, eat a piece and wonder what the heck am I gonna do with the rest? This snack cake is the perfect size. Thats the tradeoff for me, at least. Because I need an excuse to make chocolate cake. a simple three layered birthday cake? My husband is back in NY right now (he speaks german) and im lost with a 2 year old and google translate on my phone at the grocery store (getting ingredients for this cake as a surprise)! I have some red wine to use and i would try making this cake with it. I did add something tho, two tablespoons of Riversdale organic farm orange and cinnamon marmalade to the cake mixture instead of vanilla, but frosting was your recipe. I might even sub some w.w.pastry flour to please the husband. Every bit as wonderful as I imagined. I sooo remember that feeling of if I dont have whatever it is Im craving right now, I will die feeling from my pregnancies. Bake on the center rack in oven for 65-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the loaf comes out clean. Thank you! Oh, this is a great cake. im 9 years old! Any ideas why? Worked fine. And so many thanks for including metric measurements. Do it.) Weeeee! Its perfect. This looks wonderful! I love the rich chocolate flavor. I may be making it (again) for our Faculty heads birthday next week, as a quick have cake! morning tea Im thinking about using little DINOSAUR sprinkles as well as Stars (my usual go-to sprinkle) because they would just be too CUTE. This is the MOST delicious and eye-pealing chocolate cake I have ever seen. Joining the gym after New Years so this is the week for this cake again. Must make! Going to make this this weekend for my nephews birthday. I made the cake the other day for my sons birthday. :). The frosting was a bit too sweet for my guys (their tastebuds, not mine) so we might go with a ganache next time. 3/4 cup banana + 1/4 cup buttermilk. Everyone raved about it. Thanks. I had to test the recipe and it is incredible! Your cake defies all logic, physics, and natural laws of consumption. This looks so delicious, and I cant wait to try this recipe out. I made these a cupcakes tonight. Seriously, we love it so much!! They agreed that the cake is more like a brownie in the best possible way. Its expensive and I wouldnt encourage anyone to seek it out (I tend to price it out online, buy it in bulk and split it with baker friends) unless theyve tried it and, like me, found it impossible to buy anything else after that. The cupcakes stayed moist and were flipping delicious. This cake looks like it fits the bill. My almost perfect holiday baking seasonThis cake is lovely & easy to make & bake & eat. Am i right? I mean, its definitely on the sweet side, like all powdered sugar buttercreams. Emily If my notes are correct from the last time I converted it, youll get 12 standard. There is a Pin icon at the bottom of each recipe, where it says DO MORE: It will allow you to Pin just that post/recipe. one note: We only have glass 88 baking dishes, and it required quite a bit more time to bake the cake to done. I am going to purchase a metal 88 as soon as possible!
