Ingredients
Cake
2 ½ cup (375 g) all-purpose flour
1 cup (120 g) regular cocoa powder
2 ¼ (12 g) tsp baking soda
1 ½ (8 g) tsp salt
1 tsp (3 g) baking powder
1 ¼ (250 g) cup sugar
¾ cup (150 g) dark brown sugar, packed
1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 ¼ cup (560 ml) buttermilk, room temperature
2 large large eggs, room temperature
1 ½ (8 ml) tsp vanilla extract
6 oz (170 g) bittersweet chocolate, chopped, melted and cooled
Frosting
3 cup (775 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup (250 ml) cream cheese, room temperature
24 oz (680 g) bittersweet chocolate, chopped, melted and cooled
4 tsp (20 ml) vanilla extract
½ (3 g) tsp salt
4 cup (520 g) icing sugar, sifted
⅔ (80 g) cup cocoa powder, sifted
Directions
Cake
1. Preheat oven to 350F (175 C). Grease and line with parchment 3 8-inch round cake pans.
2. Sift flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt and baking powder into a large bowl (or into the bowl of a standup mixer fitted with the paddle attachment). Add sugars and butter and blend until a crumbly texture.
3. In a small bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs and vanilla together and add to larger bowl while mixing on low speed. Once incorporated, increase speed to medium-high and blend until smooth, about 3 minutes.
4. Slowly pour in melted chocolate until evenly blended, then scrape batter equally between prepared cake pans, tapping pans gently to remove any large bubbles.
5. Bake cakes for 40 to 50 minutes, until a tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool cakes for 30 minutes in the pan, then carefully turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
Frosting
1. For frosting, beat butter and cream cheese on high speed, scraping sides frequently, until light and fluffy. Reduce speed and add melted chocolate. Add vanilla, salt, icing sugar and cocoa and beat until smooth.
2. To frost the cake, slice each cooled cake layer across in half. Top one layer with icing and spread. Place second cake layer on top, and repeat with remaining layers. Ice the top of the cake and finish with the sides. Chill cake to set, but it is best stored at room temperature.

Can the recipe's be in grams?
Can't it possibly done to steam ?. Coz I don't have oven ..
How can I know the 1 cup of butter in grams
Oh Yum with Anna Olson hi there! Please do give the recipe in grams, thank you! 😊
@@ahmedbelshalat2641 it's 226 grams
Idk but this is giving me the early 2000s vibe. Edit: thanks for the 1k likes 🥰
i know!!!!!!!!
Sims 2 vibes
The handmixer! I actually thought this was the 80’s.. lol
I even looked at the date I think these is a video of the 80's.

Fabulous presentation!!! No rambling preamble, no putting us all to sleep with dull, uninspired dialogue. Easy-to-follow instructions & measurements. Can’t wait to make this!!
This video is so inspiring. To see how Chef has come a long way. From when she didn't have a fancy kitchen, or flour and sugar drawers, or kitchen aid, or even piping bags to having it all. That's true success. I want that and more.
Yes that's so right.
*What is the Gospel?*
The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Romans 10:9
9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
JESUS CHRIST can come anytime!
REPENT OF YOUR SINS Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS
This video is so inspiring to see how chef has come a long way From when she didnt have a fancy kitchen or flour and sugar to drawers or that's true success I want that and more

She is my favourite Baker to watch, so confident and a warm person.
I baked this, and it was simply divine. The entire cake lasted maybe 3 days (there are only only 4 of us).
Her hand writing on a cake was more beautiful than mine on a paper 😅
She works out 4-5 times per week
@@9929kingfish do you like chocolate cake? 🍰
Secia Gutierrez I do. I make a really good one.
@@9929kingfish well sounds like your adorable 😊
did u read my comment
I believe I have converted all the dry ingredients to metric, using conversion tables on the internet: The one thing I noticed is the typed recipe says 1 cup cream cheese, but in the video Anna says 8 ounces, which is by weight a standard 'brick' as it is sold in North America. It's not actually equal to a dry measure one-cup, which I see is supposed to equal only four ounces.
Cake
2 ½ cup [320g] all-purpose flour
[called plain flour in many countries]
1 cup [125g] regular cocoa powder
[non-Dutch processed as Anna says in the video, it's a redder brown, Dutch processed is deep brown and almost black]
2 ¼ tsp [6.8g] baking soda
1 ½ [7g] tsp salt
1 tsp [7g] baking powder
1 ¼ cup [250g, white granulated/castor] sugar
¾ cup [150g] dark brown sugar, packed
1 cup [225g, or two sticks in US standard size] unsalted butter, room temperature
2 ¼ cup [532ml] buttermilk, room temperature
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
6 oz [170g] bittersweet chocolate, chopped, melted and cooled
Frosting
3 cup [675g, six sticks in US standard size] unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup* [8 oz, or 226g] cream cheese, room temperature
[I think 1 cup is a typo, should be 8 oz in weight judging by the appearance in the video]
24 oz [680g] bittersweet chocolate, chopped, melted and cooled
4 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp [3g] salt
4 cup [440g] icing sugar, sifted
⅔ cup [83g] cocoa powder, sifted
By the way I also wanted to do this to convert the recipe to reduce down to a modest 6” round cake for a smaller gathering. Turns out I just need to halve the recipe.
But cream cheese isn't a dry ingredient.
1 cup of cream cheese is 227g / 8 oz.
Just like butter, where the standard packaging is 1 lb / 454 g which is equal to 2 cups (and you get this conversion correct in your listing).
Really though, given the international reach of TH-cam Oh Yum really should be providing these recipes in both volume and weight measures.
don't even bother with American recipes, too much sugar, cups and ounces, mind you the fat content of butter in the states is less than europe. so many other recipes to look at. my to go frosting is ganache, easier and less fatty and less sugary... I watch these as a pastime or just to get some ideas...
cee kay she's Canadian eh🇨🇦! Just saying🙂. My wife has some of her books which also have metric. Her chocolate chip cookie recipe is the best we have ever found!!

@@WhatWeDoChannel please publish it for us
omg all my memories is coming back. i used to watch baking with anna olson every morning before school. IM LOSING MY MIND
Made this for Eid and this is by far the best chocolate cake I've ever baked!!!
Hi Anna , I just wanted to say how much I love your recipes and the way you make them look so easy , I made this cake twice for my family and even though it's a lot of ingredients it's the BEST CAKE EVER tasted!!! All my family love it, it has the most amazing flavour and 100% better than ANY shop bought !!! YOU JUST can't compare !! I have also tried your shortcrust pastry recipe , again brilliant !!! My utube saved recipe folder is full of your recipes only !!! God bless you and Thank you again !!
I had to chk the date to see if this was back from thr 90's.
It's definitely the now! :)
Me too
Same. She looks younger... :-)
Oh Yum with Anna Olson hi Anna can I substitute the buttermilk with sour cream if so how much of sour cream would I need?
same.. 😂😂😂
I love the way she says "a pound and a half" with that naughty smirk in her face.
😂
you dirty dog
Lol
implies too much butter
I am repeating this review that this cake was the most amazing dessert I have ever made. It is so over the top incredible. It induces a chocolate coma. Anna's Devil's Food cake recipe is also omnipotent. I froze a portion of the black-out rendition and re-purposed it into a trifle (with a chocolate pudding, whipped cream, and -- raspberries, of course) a few weeks later.
This cake and its ingredients is the best chocolate cake I have ever sean. It is absolutely wonderful and I congratulate you and it deserves 6 stars.❤
I have watched you for years do the most beautiful and delicious baking imaginable BUT this "TAKES THE CAKE" I am not a crazy chocolate lover like most, a little goes a long way with me BUT I still like it and I love to cook and bake. I learned from my family in France where I lived 13 years and they own a bakery 'Boulanger' but you have outdone yourself on this one in my opinion. GREAT STUFF CHEF
Wow. I love how you explain things thoroughly and so calm. And how you made a piping bag as well, truly inspiring for an aspiring chef like myself. Amazing!
I followed this recipe and this cake is THE BOMB! My official go-to chocolate cake! Thank you so much for this!
My search has ended here.,Anna Olson... You are the ultimate U- tube baker . You explain every little thing so deeply that amateurs like me bake good cakes. Thanks for your recipes and demonstration. Love ya💟💗💖💕✌️
I have watched and followed thousands of cooking and baking videos. I have to put you up there with the best on the Internet. No fluff or bullshit, just a straight forward recipe to a great cake. ( I followed your recipe and it came out so delicious)
Pleasant voice, easy understandable direction. I am happy to follow your page
This is the best chocolate cake ever, made it last eid and now making it again for eid tomorrow. Thanks Anna x
OMG !!!!! Where’s the plates ... Cut me a piece,, I’ll be right there ... Absolutely Beautiful... perfection at it’s finest....
i made this cake today , just way you showed us. it came out fantastic !!!! thank you very much.
If you like to bake... I strongly suggest following this blog. Ms Anna knows what she is doing. She teaches extremely well.
I just made the cake yesterday. Huge and I think it will easily be 4KG. Tasted real good and so chocolaty. If you're making this go then use only bittersweet chocolate. Everyone at home loved the cake. With creamy ice cold milk the cake is a delish. Thanks Anna for the recipe 😊
You know she’s a good cook because she puts her ingredients in fancy glass jars
You know she's a good cook because she's made a very successful living off of her cooking skills for a very long time.
@@maggiemoran7747 by why don't you give the quanties of ingredients
You forgot the oven.
@@maggiemoran7747 How are you doing?
Look at that beautiful moist cake interior! Now let's hide it with frosting! 😂💜 cracked me up!

the only thing left now is to save up some money to get the right tools for baking. otherwise i am happy and confident to call myself a good baker from now
I love that Anna is using just a regular hand held electric mixer…no fancy dancy mixer ♥️
It's Ramadan and I'm fasting... Probably not a good idea to watch this but I love chocolate 😩

Hi Anna i tried this chocolate cake recipe and it was absolutely delicious, tasty,soft and I had it without frosting and it was so good thank you for this recipe
Anna looked so good in this video. Her hair was short and she lost weight!!
Well done !
Hello! I cannot find the recipe or the description. Also, I made the chocolate chip cookies and they are amazing!!! Thank you! It was my first time ever cooking a cookie and I was so stressed but you made it really easy to make.
Magnificent! I just LOVE watching your Channel and the way you explain extra details. I always learn something new. Your style in teaching is simply the best!
licking the spatula with the chocolate mixture is divine
I baked with this recepie it was THE BEST CHOCOLATE cake i have ever eaten. So chocolatey
I love your recipes! I just wish we could see the finished product for a little longer. It cuts off at the end of some of your videos. We don’t get the satisfaction of seeing it completed or what it looks like on the inside. Thank you!
I love how accurately she measures the butter xD
Tabea Kanndirdochegalsein c
Perfect recipe. No fancy bullshit. Just what everybody wants to know in 8 minutes. Well done.
Thank you Anna, I love all your shows. I have been stuck in the house with Covid and if it had not been for your shows I think I would have gone CRAZY! I was wondering i with this cake can you make the layers ahead of time and freeze them? Please keep up your shows. You have taught me so much. Thank you
Omg I just fallen love with this Owen too not just a person and the cake lol. 😁 Thank you
- How much sugar do you use in the recipe?
- Yes
sweet ting in life..put aloottt
And butter...
One shot of vodka
That should be called Chocoabetes Cake
What do u think is In a chocolate cake!
4:47 made me smile massively and my eyes go wide with joy and amazement 😂
Same
I was making this method of choc cake in 1973. The chocolate in the frosting can be substituted for white choc, if you making a lemon or white sponge cake. It’s all yum.
It turned out a delicious and amazing soft cake . My kids loved it. Thanks chef Anna
Wow, looks decadent and delicious! Love your videos!
That looks like such an amazing cake! Thanks for sharing the recipe. I do have a question, though. What is the silver round tool you're using to move the cake layers around?
Best recipes, good chef and most elegant person in Canada's TV.
A video recommended by utube , and i m starting the day watching u . U r amazing
I ate this now I have diabetes
Thanks Anna 😊
Type 2
I got diabetes just by watching Anna bake this
Pleasure 😍😍😍🌹
I have to try this method, it looks yummy!
Hello joy, how are you!
... finally a chocolate cake recipe with unsalted butter, omg I can taste it already mmmn 😊... Anna love your baking skills and recipes 🤗
Can’t wait to try this one.
I thought everyone adds the dry ingredients first? That’s the way I’ve always done it.
And will it make a difference if I melt the butter before I add it to the dry ingredients?
If the butter is too hot it might scramble your eggs.
sal sue oh ok thanks so much!
"Yes. A POUND and a half of chocolate"
Her writing on the cake is amazing..
Even though I am not very interested in chocolate cakes, I enjoyed watching the preparation of this cacke!
This is what a chocolate cake should taste like. In my opinion the only recipe. Thank you so much. My cake came out perfect and moist
OMG! this is THE ONE I NEED!! Thank you!
Hello how are you doing.

Thank you somuch... My family literally couldn't get their tastebud in control with ur amazing recipe... We all wakeup to morning goodness slices of cakes and tea. Courtesy of you honey
As a Brit I feel like I speak for all the UK when I say, WHAT THE HELL IS A CUP AND WHY CAN'T YOU USE NORMAL MEASUREMENTS
Adam Machin I’m English, and you certainly don’t speak for me. Using cup measurements is preferable to me.
@@SilverCharmbracelet answer the question then fool
Adam Machin 1 Cup = 8 ounces, which is roughly 227 grams
She's Canadian and their measurements are customized for Americans. 🤷♂️ Baking conversion helps
Great recipe and thank you for giving measurements in grams too it helped a lot. 😍
Anna knows how to make my kind of cake... I like a little cake with my frosting!!
Wow! Amazing recipe!! 👍
It's the most exciting beautiful recipe I ever saw! Congratulations!!!
Wow omg the best cholate cake recipe I have seen I love cholate cake would most definitely try making it 😋
I blacked out with how delicious it looked
I am looking for words...the Ultimate! The presentation is sooo light, playful, feels like going to the kitchen and... making this divine creation for tonight. Thank you. 11 out of 10!
Hello Mari, how are you?
Wow, absolutely fantastic Anna thank you god bless you❤😘🥰😋
"Look at that beautiful moist interior .... SO LETS HIDE IT WITH SOME FROSTING"
Alma Reyes I mean...frosting is usually a pretty important component in a cake, but go off 🤷🏼♀️
@@supreme_aset777 tff I repeated what she said gtfo
@@supreme_aset777 no shit it is🙄🙄🙄🙄
Alma Reyes I was going to come back to correct myself because I literally watched this on low volume and missed it, but you seem genuinely annoying, sooooo, nah.
@@supreme_aset777 AHAHA 😋 Its funny that your butthurt over not watching the video and listening to it and coming over to MY comment just to be a bitch over something you didnt even know about. Maybe next time you can be smart and ACTUALLY listen and watch the video instead of assuming shit and coming off as an asshole. I responded the way I did and you can find it annoying but you brought attitude to me so dont be mad that someone just told you off you can either fuck off or fuck off😁🙂🙂😉
Just made this cake. Eating it tomorrow for Father's Day.....
Hi! I tried some of your recipes and the results are amazing, thanks for share.
It came out fantastic, thank you
Clear concise brilliant.
Dhould i give you a tip you should make syrup for your cake it will make sponge very soft and tasty
Very much delicious😋😋😋
That frosting is the most decadent frosting ever! 3 pounds of butter AND 8 Oz's of cream cheese?!?! Wow!
They don't called it a Blackout Cake for nothing! :)
I MADE IT! Finally made a cake that turned out. Only, made it without the block chocolate….’cause I didn’t have any….and that’s why I’m a (Picasso baker), never perfect. Anyway, it’s amazing without it. Yum yum pigs bum! Greetings from regional Australia. (That means do not live near stores. Live in the country). Thanks for teaching me.
Anna wasn't playing with this recipe lol
As much as I love watching cake videos and making them , it makes me confused when you measure with cups and ounces ... I'd love it if you'd mention them in grams as well
The recipe in the description has the metric weight conversions!
You are just amazing at explaining it all and making it look so easy and delicious.
I will be using this recipie for a car birthday cake. I was wondering whether I could use fondant over this icing?
thnak you so much, made this for the fam and they loved it.
Watching this video made me make a very painful but crucial & important decision: Sod the diet and have a piece! Although it'll take me a whole day to make this ( and not 8.40 minutes), but there are certain things in life that are worth the sacrifice.
Absolutely brilliant, thank you.
Superb recipe Anna. Our anniversary is on Monday, so will make this tomorrow to surprise my husband.
God Almighty i want that cake! I'll try making it and see I've only made two layers so let's see,your so thin n a pretty lady thank you!!!
It's a must do nice and simple....thanks for the recipe
Hello I must say that chocolate cake is my all time favorite and yr teaching style is so natural. it's like you are holding my hand and making sure I bake the cake myself and it's going to turn out super tasty like in this video. could you make chocolate cup cake with decorative birthday wishes using colourful fondant and multicoloured sugar paste with some edible gold or silver in it.
Like it so nice
Watching from South Africa 🇿🇦
chocolate cakes are awesome. I tried something similar
Hi. The cake looks amazing! Can I cover this frosting again with some colored buttercream for decorating purposes?
Madam good evening..I have seen lot of chocolate cake recipes...but your methods are special from others ..great . presentation also fascinating 💕
