Celebrate anytime with this decadent and moist Best Chocolate Cake online recipe topped with my favorite fudge frosting and vibrant homemade sprinkles.
Hi Bold Bakers!
Everyone needs a master cake recipe that will never fail you and everyone will love. I have shared with you my master recipes for Vanilla Cake & Carrot Cake, but I haven’t revealed my Best Ever Chocolate Cake recipe or Chocolate Fudge Frosting until now.
This is the best chocolate cake recipe that I’ve found and it’s made by the great Ina Garten. I am a big fan of her books and style, and I dream of living in her barn in the Hamptons.
How to make the Best Chocolate Cake
What I love about this chocolate cake recipe is that it does not need a mixer and is very fast to whip up all in one bowl. Her recipe is also incredibly moist and rich because she uses buttermilk and oil, making it my favorite kind of cake ! The buttermilk tenderizes the cake online and the oil makes it rich and fudge-like. This chocolate cake order online is known as Devils Food Cake, Black Magic Cake, and Death by Chocolate. Once you make it, you’ll see why its earned its namesake.
What if I don’t have buttermilk?
Buttermilk is one of the secret ingredients in this cake. As I mentioned, this makes the cakes crumb tender. It’s the acid in the buttermilk that does this and this is why it’s best not to replace the buttermilk with milk or another liquid. If you do not have buttermilk or you can not find it, I suggest you give my Homemade Buttermilk recipe a try!
Do I have to use eggs?
If you do not want to use eggs in this cake you’re in luck! The eggs can be replaced with a flax egg. The cake delivery might not be quite as rich but will still be lovely and have great texture.
What kind of cocoa powder do I use?
Since this cake is really all about the chocolate, it’s super important to use good quality unsweetened cocoa powder. You can even use dutch processed cocoa powder for even more chocolate flavor and that deep rich color.
Why do you make this cake with coffee?
Besides the buttermilk, the use of coffee is the other real secret to the flavor of this cakes to India online. The cake order online does not taste of coffee, the coffee simply acts as a compliment to the cocoa powder really making the flavor of the chocolate have even more depth and dimension. If you don’t have freshly brewed coffee I suggest you use an instant coffee or espresso powder in its place, but you do not want to use plain water here as it will not have the same effect.
How to Make Fudgy, Chocolate Frosting
This Chocolate Cake recipe goes above and beyond Big and Bold with the addition of my best fudge frosting. My chocolate frosting yields you a rich, fudgy and soft icing. Like my buttercream, this frosting recipe is not complicated. I know, however, that getting buttercream light and fluffy can be a struggle so I covered a lot of those points in the video. With my tips and tricks, you will always be successful with frosting.
How to Make Sprinkles
While the icing on this homemade chocolate cake is incredible, my homemade sprinkles are the real icing on the cake. You might be wondering how to make your own sprinkles, but don’t worry. Making sprinkles is actually quite easy! All you need is fondant.
I colored leftover scraps from my Marshmallow Fondant and then cut circles out of them using the tip of a piping nozzle. Voila! My sprinkle recipe transformed my dessert from a regular cake to a cake that cheers for celebration!
How to store my Best Ever Chocolate Cake
This cake will keep fresh for 3-4 days as long as you cover it tightly with cling wrap and store it at room temperature. If you want to make this cake ahead you can cover and freeze the un-frosted cake for up to 3 weeks. To thaw the cake delivery from frozen just allow it to sit out at room temperature until it is fully defrosted and soft. From there you can frost and decorate your cake as directed, making for easy last minute cake making!
