Finally ,
Here's my favorite chocolate layer cake recipe with a super fudgy texture , try it and it will be your favorite too !
Ingredients :
The cake :
4 eggs1 and half cup sugar
1 cup oil
1 cup milk
3 cups flour
10 gr baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate buttercream :
110 gr chocolate150 gr butter
120 gr powdered sugar
5g cacao powder
2 teaspoons coffee
Steps :
Preheat oven to 180°CMake the buttercream :
Whisk the butter 3 to 4 minutes , add the powdered sugar and whisk again .
Add the coffee and cacao .
Make sure your chocolate is still melted but is no longer hot .Add it to the preparation and mix without insisting .
Make the cake :
Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment mix the oil, eggs, milk and vanilla together on medium-high speed until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix .
Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean .
Remove the cakes from the oven and set on a wire rack .
Refrigerate cake for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This helps the cake hold its shape when cutting.
Assemble and frost:
Place 1 cake layer on your cake stand or serving plate. Evenly cover the top with frosting. Top with 2nd layer and spread remaining frosting all over the top and sides. I always use an icing spatula and bench scraper for the frosting. Garnish with chopped almonds .
