    I'm finally sharing my perfect chocolate cake recipe - This is always a favorite of my clients, family and friends.
    This cake plays a "staring" roll over at Working with Lemons Matilda The Musical - Revolting Children music video • Matilda The Musical - ...
    PERFECT CHOCOLATE CAKE RECIPE
    8 oz unsweetened chocolate
    4 C sugar (3 3/4 C for high altitude)
    3 C flour (3 1/4 C for high altitude)
    1 1/2 tsp baking soda (1 1/4 tsp for high altitude)
    1 tsp salt
    2 C HOT water with 10 tsp coco powder dissolved in it (2 1/4 C water for high altitude)
    1 C sour cream OR greek yogurt
    1 C vegetable oil
    4 Lrg eggs lightly beaten
    Preheat the oven to 345
    Prepare three 8 or 9 inch round cake pans (if doing 8 inch pans I suggest 3 inches tall pans, or four of the 2 inch tall 8 inch pans) I use parchment paper circles on the bottom and a non stick spray on the sides
    Melt the baking chocolate in double broiler (or in a bowl over a simmering pot of water) then let it cool.
    In a large bowl, or bowl of a mixer add the sugar, flour, soda and salt and whisk together.
    In a separate bowl (or a large glass measuring cup) mix the hot water and cocoa
    Then add the sour cream and oil and whisk.
    Add the wet mixture in a stream to the dry ingredients and mix until blended.
    Add the lightly beaten eggs and beat.
    Add the cooled melted chocolate and mix until uniform in color.
    Bake at 345 40-45 mins (raise the heat by 25 degrees and lower the time by 5 mins for high altitude)
    CHOCOLATE GANACHE BUTTERCREAM
    20 oz chocolate chopped
    1 1/2 C cream
    2 tbsp corn syrup (stabilizing)
    2 C butter - slightly softened
    1-2 C powdered sugar
    Place the chocolate into a large bowl
    in a saucepan heat the cream and corn syrup - until just about to simmer
    Pour it over the chocolate and let it sit for 5 mins - then stir
    Let the ganache cool to room temp
    Beat butter and add 1 C powdered sugar
    add more if needed to achieve a thick buttercream
    pour the ganache into the buttercream and beat.
    Chill for 5-19 mins n the fridge, beat again, chill, beat, chill, beat - until your happy with the thickness

    Great recipe. I would add a teaspoon of coffee along with the cocoa powder into the hot water. Bitterness is very important in making chocolate more “chocolatey”. Also, I would add a teaspoon or 2 of pure vanilla extract. This will elevate the flavour of the whole cake.

    • @Ashleemariecakes
      @Ashleemariecakes  7 ปีที่แล้ว +49

      I personally hate coffee, the smell alone makes me queasy so I don't - but as I mention in the video it's totally a great option to add as a ton of people like it. And yes vanilla is a flavor enhancer so go for it, I have been making this cake for so many years I don't remember why when I started making it I opted not to use vanilla.... now you have me wanting to give it a try again!

  • @julia4God

    Thank you so much, for the recipe. I've tried this twice now, for friends and family during Christmas and it's turned out fantastic. I did not use 8 inch pans though, I distributed them into two 9 inch pans. (so, this was a 2 tier cake) Added a bit of baking powder as well in the batter, with the soda that is already mentioned. The cake was unbelievably rich in the chocolately flavour, dense and moist. It also came out huge, as a 3 tier cake would. It reminded me of the Chocolate fudge cake, I usually love picking up from Big Chill Cafeteria! It was so good. The first time, I used Olive oil as Ashlee mentioned. The second time, I used Rice Bran oil (ran out of olive oil), both the times - the cake turned out unbelievably tasty. I used "Dukes" dark cooking chocolate for the cake and icing. It's imo the best chocolate brand for baking. I'm going to bake this for the 3rd time, for my colleagues at office, as a Christmas treat along with plum cake. I just love, how this recipe calls for no coffee, the chocolate flavour is incredible. I think one can play around with the icing. The second time, I kept the batter the same and tweaked the icing a bit, by adding some cream cheese in the icing. It complimented the cake fantastically again. Honestly, I've tried about a dozen chocolate cake recipes from youtube. Red velvet cakes come out fine, but chocolate cakes are always tricky! Some look great, but taste useless. Couldn't find the x factor in them. I personally love this cake, because of the rich chocolate flavour and the moisture..i think the yogurt also elevates this to the next level. Thanks Ashlee! Excellent recipe. This is the end of my chocolate cake recipe experimentation. I'm gonna settle for this recipe as the final and one stop, chocolate cake recipe as the one I'd like to bake going forward for everyone.

      Julia Rajendran did you put 10 table spoons of coco in the hot water? Because in video it doesn't look like 10 table spoons.

    • @julia4God
      @julia4God 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Being pretty honest, I actually went by my gut instinct in terms of putting cocoa in the mixture. I agree, the instructions in the video & the recipe are not clear as to - how many tablespoons of regular cocoa and how many of dark cocoa. I honestly just experimented with the cocoa bit. I added around 5-6 table spoons of regular cocoa and 4 tablespoons of dark cocoa. You could increase or decrease the amount of dark cocoa depending on your taste. With the Cocoa bit - I don't think there is much risk involved. Incase you end up adding more cocoa, the flavour of the cake just gets richer (cause the sugar and other ingredients balance it well).

    • @easternmo197
      @easternmo197 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Best Cake Ever! Made this yesterday, keeping all chocolate as dark as possible. I even buttered my cake pans and dusted with dark cocoa. It was sooooo rich and chocolatey! Loved the mix of ganache and buttercream, it gave the perfect balance of sweet and bitter from the chocolate. I did add 1/2 tsp of almond extract to the frosting and that just added another element and almost put it over the top. Thanks so much for the recipe!!

    I completely agree that American buttercream is too sweet! I hate how so many frosting recipes just overwhelm your cake. I usually use an ermine frosting (flour frosting), which starts with a type of roux and then gets beaten into butter. Easy to find on google if you haven't heard of it, super simple to make, I usually make with very little sugar and it's just... thick velvety not too sweetness 😍

    • @Ashleemariecakes
      @Ashleemariecakes  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I've made and used ermine frosting before - I play with frostings a lot - I don't stick with just one frosting for a cake - like even this one - I use about 15 different frostings or more with this chocolate cake depending on what I'm going for - this is just a pretty classic way to go.

      Omg thank you, I was searching for a good frosting, cuz I don't like the idea of meringues(too eggy/time consuming) or buttercreams(too buttery/sweet).
      Yet I want a frosting that tastes delicious and hopefully pipes as well!
      I will try out this ermine frosting and let you know if it's yay or nay 😁

    • @orlybabe
      @orlybabe 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I also hate overly sweet buttercream, I used to make ermine frosting but it took rather long. Recently I discovered a simple, fluffy not too sweet frosting that takes minutes to make - just melt butter and chocolate chips, dump it in the fridge and when it’s hard whip it up in the mixer. It even stands up to the humidity and heat here! Ive had so many complements about the balance of richness and sweetness of the cake and frosting.

  • @hadeeln.7096
    @hadeeln.7096 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I made this cake two time this weak. And I can say IT WAS AMAZING.
    The difference I did was ( mix a shot of coffee with the two cup of water ) and (first time it took 35-40 min and it was juicy the second time it took about 50 min and it was a PERFECT )
    And yes the butter cream take A LONG TIME ( 2 hours to reach the thickness i want )
    And last thing is ( let the cake rest in the fridge for 3-4 hour and put the first face of buttercream and put it in fridge for 1h. Then put the second )
    If it the first time you bake a cake
    I RECOMMEND THIS RECIPE 💯% 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

    I'm sorry but there is no way that olive oil in a chocolate cake tastes good. Olive oil has a distinctive flavor which is why it's so often used as the base for savory sauces and cooking vegetables. I have tried olive oil with brownies in a pinch when I thought "maybe one will sub for the other" and girl, that was a mistake.

      I agree, Ashlee... I never use vegetable oil (soybean oil) or canola for anything... it's gross and super unhealthy for hearts. I use extra virgin cold pressed coconut oil in everything that calls for vegetable oil. It's amazing.

    • @BetterMe981
