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

My husband hates CHOCOLATE CAKE but LOVED this one!
RECIPE:
SHOP:
If you’re looking for a rich, fudgy chocolate cake to satisfy your sweet cravings, then this cake IS IT! Paired with an indulgent chocolate fudge frosting, this is by far the best chocolate cake I’ve ever had.
INGREDIENTS:
Chocolate Cake
- 1½ cups (190 g) flour - regular all purpose
- ½ cup (50 g) cocoa powder - unsweetened
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¾ cup (170 g) unsalted butter
- 1¼ cups (200 g) dark chocolate (50%)
- ⅓ cup (80 g) milk - room temperature
- 1½ cups (300 g) white sugar
- 1½ tbsp instant coffee powder
- ¼ cup (55 g) unflavoured vegetable oil - I use canola oil
- 1 tsp vanilla essence/extract
- 2 large eggs - room temperature
- ½ cup (110 g) hot water
Bake at 160 °C (320°F) with the fan on. If your oven doesn't have a fan option, then you will need to increase the baking temperature to 175°C (347°F). Remember to grease the bottom and sides of two 8 inch cake tins (mine are 3 inch deep), and also line the bottom of the tin with baking/parchment paper.
IMPORTANT: Do not open the oven door too early to check the cake otherwise this can cause the cake to sink in the middle. Enjoy :)
Chocolate Fudge Frosting
- 1 cup (226 g) cream
- 4 tsp cocoa powder - unsweetened
- 2½ cups (400 g) dark chocolate (50%)
- 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (170 g) icing sugar - also known as powdered sugar/confectioners sugar
- ½ tsp instant coffee powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tsp vanilla essence/extract

Aunt Eileen’s Sour Cream Cake - This recipe is ridiculously easy and SO GOOD!
This is one of those quick cake recipes that lives on the side of our fridge... it's an easy cake to make after supper or for a pot luck / bake sale. Julie's aunt wrote out the sour cream spice cake recipe for Julie years ago and it was a regular bake in our kitchen. Some people call this an easy chocolate chip cake recipe or easy cinnamon coffee cake, cinnamon sour cream cake. Doesn't really matter what you call it, the cake is eaten before you can decide.

5 mL (1 tsp) cinnamon
250 mL (1 cup) sour cream
250 mL (1 cup) chocolate chips

Pre-heat oven to 180º C (350ºF)
Grease a 9x13 cake dish

Chocolate Pound Cake with Sour Cream - Easy Chocolate Cake Recipe - A Chocolate Lover's Dream
#chocolatepoundcake #chocolatecake #chocolatelovers
This chocolate pound cake made with sour cream screams indulgence! Every time I make it, I feel like I’m transporting myself back to my favorite little bakery located in the Schwarzwald - Black Forest.
This cake is super simple to make and can be served with just a little dusting of powdered sugar. But I included my favorite chocolate ganache frosting in this recipe, which tastes like chocolate truffles. This frosting brings the cake to the next level and could even be called marry me cake in my opinion!
