Cake - Chocolate Thank you America's Test Kitchen. The most straightforward everyday cake, so I can say, "sure I'll bring a cake"! However, now I have a sourdough chocolate recipe also! Bake at "bake 350*":
- two 10 inch layers 40-45 min - two 9x13 rectangles 35-45 min - two 9x9 square pans AND (small nordicware bundt pan, which stuck in the pan and was ruined) SO use the 8 inch pan instead. **two 9x9 pans (10 cup capacity each) can take the place of one 9x13 pan (15 cup capacity) ~Find the cake whips: they are superb! They are white plastic. Measure out 24 1/2 oz (3 1/2 c) pure cane sugar.
Set out 3 sticks unsalted butter until very soft. In 6 c small saucepan on very low heat combine: 8 oz water - heat until almost boiling then add: 8 oz unsweetened chocolate (broken a bit) 1 1/2 oz Dutch-processed cocoa powder Stir with silicone scraper until melted. Add and stir until thick and glossy: 1 cup of the sugar Set aside to cool. In red silicone weigh and whisk together: 17 1/2 oz (3 1/2 c) all-purpose white flour 1 T baking soda 2 t salt In silicone measuring pitcher stir together: 4 oz whole milk yogurt 14 oz whole milk 30 g vanilla (note the grams, not ounces) In bosch mixer with cake whips or wire whips whisk: 8 eggs AND 4 egg yolks about 10 sec until combined. Add the remaining sugar (2 1/2 c) and whisk on speed #2 2-3 min until fluffy and lightened in color. Add the chocolate and mix on #2 until thoroughly mixed about 30 sec, stopping to scrape bowl as needed. Add the softened butter 1 stick at a time mixing on speed #1 15 sec each time. Add about 1/3 the flour mixture followed by half the milk mixture, mixing on speed #1 until incorporated after each addition, just 5-10 seconds each time. Repeat using half the remaining flour mixture and all the buttermilk (batter may appear separated - that's OK). Scrape sides and add remaining flour. Mix on speed #2 just about 5-10 seconds until thoroughly combined. Remove bowl and fold batter a few times to incorporate any hidden flour or liquid sugar-egg mixture from the bottom.
