How To make Sourdough Chocolate Cake
1/2 c Sourdough starter
1 1/2 c All purpose flour
2 c Sugar
3/4 c Powdered cocoa (not instant)
2 ts Baking powder
2 ts Baking soda
1 c Milk
1/2 c Vegetable oil
3/4 c Cold coffee
1 ts Vanilla
Few people bake cakes from scratch anymore unless they can produce something that's not possible with a mix. This sourdough chocolate cake falls in that category. It's got a fudge-like quality you can't get any way except with sourdough and since it's all mixed in one bowl, it's almost as easy as a boxed cake. Put the starter in a large bowl, cover loosely and allow to stand at room temperature until active and bubbling -- at least one hour. Then add the rest of the ingredients, in the order given, beating well after each addition. It is not necessary to sift or premix any of the ingredients as long as you are careful to get the baking powder and soda evenly mixed. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans, pour in the batter, which will be thin, and bake in a preheated 350?. oven for about 30 minutes, or until the layers test done when poked with a toothpick. The cake will have pulled away from the sides of the pan. Allow to cool about 10 minutes before removing from pans, then finish cooling the layers on wire racks. Do not frost until the cake is completely cold. A mild chocolate butter cream frosting is nice with this cake. From: Pitzer, Sara _Baking with Sourdough_ Garden Way Publishing, 1980.

Dairy Free Sourdough Chocolate Cake - Yummy!
When you think of sourdough, you normally think of bread -- but chocolate cake? Here is a modification of a recipe from the King Arthur Baking website to make a dairy free chocolate cake. This lucious cake has a rich chocolate flavor that shows no overt evidence of its sourdough origin. Along with the demonstration of making the cake, the video includes a discussion of several of the ingredients. The original recipe for this great cake is on the King Arthur Baking site at
The Sourdough Simpleton is designed for the newcomer to the world of Sourdough baking. I am a novice, myself, and am writing this from a perspective that I found hard to find as I navigated the straits of sourdough, encountering terms and techniques along the way that defied a simple explanation. The videos on YouTube are supported by a website, sourdoughsimpleton.com, a Facebook Group, and @sourdoughsimpleton on Instagram.
Sourdough Chocolate Cake
Have sourdough, want cake? This easy chocolate cake recipe lets you mix up your baking a little bit, but lets you keep up with the sourdough trends. Recipe below.
Note that I put many measurements in metrics, but some, notably the spices, I leave as teaspoons. The reason is that measuring such small amounts by weight can be troublesome on kitchen scales and the exact amount isn't as important as the ratios. If you don't have measuring spoons, just use a spoon from your silverware drawer and eyeball it. It'll all turn out alright.
Salt should be measured by weight because the form it takes can vary so much that measuring by volume can be quite tricky.
Recipe (adapted from Sourdough Jack's Cookery):
Creaming
* 113g Butter
* 200g Sugar
* 2 Eggs
Wet
* 250g Thick Sourdough
* 227g Evaporated Milk
* 1tsp Vanilla Extract
85g Dark Chocolate
Dry
* 250g Plain Flour
* 1 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
* 1tsp Cinnamon
* 3g Salt
Sift the Dry ingredients. Measure and combine the Wet ingredients. Melt the Chocolate.
Cream the butter and sugar until lighter and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Add the Wet ingredients and continue to mix until well combined. Mix in the melted chocolate.
Add the sifted Dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in small batches and mix until just combined.
Grease and flour a cake pan that is at least 20x20cm. 25x25cm would probably be better (although I haven't tried). Pour in the batter and even out the batter in the pan.
Bake at 175C for 40-50 minutes. Test doneness using a toothpick by sticking it into the center. If it comes out clean the cake is done.
When the cake is done, remove it from the oven and set to cool for 10 minutes. Then turn out onto a wire rack to continue cooling for at least another 10 minutes before dusting with confectioners sugar.
