  • The Most Amazing Chocolate Cake is here. I call this my Matilda Cake because I swear it’s just as good as the cake that Bruce Bogtrotter ate in Matilda. Moist, chocolaty perfection. This is the chocolate cake you’ve been dreaming of!

    PRINTABLE RECIPE: 🖨️thestayathomechef.com/the-most... 🖨️
    BUTTERMILK SUBSTITUTE: thestayathomechef.com/buttermi...
    🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴
    ✅Ingredients
    • butter and flour for coating and dusting the cake pan
    • 3 cups all-purpose flour
    • 3 cups granulated sugar
    • 1½ cups unsweetened cocoa powder
    • 1 tablespoon baking soda
    • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
    • 1½ teaspoons salt
    • 4 large eggs
    • 1½ cups buttermilk
    • 1½ cups warm water
    • ½ cup vegetable oil
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    ✅Instructions
    1️⃣ 00:00:17 - Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter three 9-inch cake rounds. Dust with flour and tap out the excess.
    2️⃣ 00:01:19 - Mix together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a stand mixer using a low speed until combined.
    3️⃣ 00:01:44 - Add eggs, buttermilk, warm water, oil, and vanilla. Beat on a medium speed until smooth. This should take just a couple of minutes.
    4️⃣ 00:02:31 - Divide batter among the three pans. I found that it took just over 3 cups of the batter to divide it evenly.
    5️⃣ 00:02:47 - Bake for 30-35 minutes until the cake meets the toothpick test (stick a toothpick in and it comes out clean).
    6️⃣ 00:03:06 - Cool on wire racks for 15 minutes and then turn out the cakes onto the racks and allow to cool completely.
    7️⃣ Frost with your favorite frosting and enjoy!
    Notes
    The better quality cocoa powder you use the better the cake will taste.
    00:03:30 - CHOCOLATE CREAM CHEESE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
    ✅Ingredients
    • 1½ cups butter, softened
    • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
    • 1½ cups unsweetened cocoa powder
    • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 7-8 cups powdered sugar
    • about ¼ cup milk (as needed)
    ✅Instructions
    1️⃣ 00:03:38 - In a large bowl, beat together butter and cream cheese until fluffy. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer for best results
    2️⃣ 00:03:57 - Add in cocoa powder and vanilla extract. Beat until combined.
    3️⃣ 00:04:23 - Beat in powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time. Add milk as necessary to make a spreadable consistency. The frosting should be very thick and will thicken even more if refrigerated.
    Notes
    In the photos above, an extra dark cocoa powder was used in the frosting. Extra dark cocoa will result in a much darker, almost black frosting.
    METRIC MEASUREMENTS
    ✅Ingredients
    • butter and flour for coating and dusting the cake pan

    • 350 ml buttermilk
    • 350 ml warm water
    • 115 ml vegetable oil
    • 10 ml vanilla extract
    ✅Instructions
    1️⃣ Preheat oven to 176 degrees Celsius. Butter three 23 centimeter cake rounds. Dust with flour and tap out the excess.
    2️⃣ Mix together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a stand mixer using a low speed until combined.
    3️⃣ Add eggs, buttermilk, warm water, oil, and vanilla. Beat on a medium speed until smooth. This should take just a couple of minutes.
    4️⃣ Divide batter among the three pans.

    I just changed two details:
    I used 1 teaspoon of coffe with the warm water and instead of the buttermilk,I used the regular milk!This cake is perfect❤If you do it,you aren't going to regret😂🥰🥰
    ☆Although this cake doesn't need,you can moisten each layer(before the chocolate icing) with some milk and sugar!
    I guarantee,it became even more delicious🥰

    I am Asian and I am used to having a dessert that is not too sweet. So my taste will be different from a typical American. I spent 7.25 hours making this cake in one day with 3/5 of the amount of sugar suggested in the recipe. Half of the sugar would be a little extreme. I made only 1 layer instead of 3 layers so everything was divided exactly by 3, even the frosting. Even when I already reduced the sugar, the frosting was a little bit too sweet for me and I added 8g of cocoa. Besides, 1 layer was enough for me. At first, I thought with so little amount of ingredients the cake would not be big enough. However, after baking it, adding the frosting and the decoration, the result was a pretty huge and beautiful cake.
    Everyone LOVES it. My dad said the cake was really delicious and he rated it a 10 out of 10, even though he does not like cakes at all. He even ate a second piece and told me that he would be eager to eat the pieces left in the fridge. When being asked to comment about the level of sweetness of the cake, he said: “The sweetness is just right, not too sweet or less sweet. The sweetness of this cake is similar to a cake of a 5-star restaurant, no joke”.
    My cousin who is picky said it was tasty too. 10/10 again. She also wanted another piece for her daughter and said she would drop by my house other times to eat the cake haha. I had for myself a second piece too.
    I have watched around 6 videos making chocolate cake. Then I think the reason why this video has so many views is because of the success rate of the cake. The recipe she suggests ensures that you 99.9% get a tasty cake. Just follow this ultimate recipe, make changes to your preferences and you will succeed in making this cake!

    Pro tip for those of you that didn’t already know: you can easily divide this recipe into thirds for one layer or two thirds for two layers (1 cup of flour for one layer, etc.) for the eggs if your making one layer just do one large egg but if your doing two just use three eggs
    Also instead of just warm water I mixed in a little bit of coffee powder just to make the chocolate flavor pop ( not a fan of coffee but you don’t end up tasting coffee flavor so all’s good, but better)
    I also made this a two layer and it was super delicious and moist, for the frosting I just used my own vanilla cream cheese frosting recipie :)
    Edit: for all of you wondering here is the adjusted recipe for only two layers that I used [pan size 9x9 in.] :
    2 cups flour
    1 1/4 cup sugar (the real recipient divided is 2 cups sugar but I find that way too sweet)
    1 cup coca powder
    2 tsp baking soda
    1 tsp baking powder
    1 tsp salt
    3 eggs
    1 cup buttermilk
    1 cup warm water (with about a teaspoon of coffee powder mixed in optionally)
    3/16 cup oil (fill a 1/4 cup measurement with about 3/4 filled)
    1 tsp of vanilla
    Enjoy :)

    I add in a tablespoon of instant coffee just before I add in the hot water. Major flavor boost. And I use the Wilton bake even cake pan wraps to keep edges from browning and help even layers. And Swan cake flour. LOVED this recipe!! It's a keeper. TY!!

The cake itself is really moist, fluffy and delicate- it is SO SOFT and FUDGY and instead of using the icing stated in her recipe, I filled the cake layers with a whipped chocolate cream, and iced the sides with a rich chocolate buttercream, and covering the top with chocolate ganache. It really does taste INCREDIBLE!!!!

    Substituting strong coffee for the hot water, and melted butter (or if you want to get fancy, clarified butter) for the oil won't change the consistency of the end result but it will greatly enhance the richness of the cake.

    • @null0byte
      @null0byte Před 7 lety +3

      The Stay At Home Chef
      Ok. Your recipe is very close to a recipe I had gotten a couple decades ago from (of all places) the American Heart Association Cookbook called Black Devils Food Cake. The only difference between them is the other one used hot strong black coffee to enhance the flavor, the baked texture is identical in appearance to this one, just darker due to the coffee, and extremely moist as well.
      If you say using butter changes the moisture I'll take your word for it, I've just been going through my old recipes and replacing oil with clarified butter and (at least for me) the results haven't really changed. But, I will admit I was basing it off how very close the two recipes were.
      One thing I like to do with mine, since it appears to make about half the amount this one does, is turn it into the second layer of an overload cake. Bottom layer flourless chocolate cake, top layer the black devils food, and then a white chocolate whipped frosting.

      That's not true, the oil gives the cake a moist texture, butter doesn't...

    • @null0byte
      @null0byte Před 7 lety +1

      Luc Van kasteel The poster of the video already addressed that, and I misspoke because I generally use clarified butter, mainly for the flavor (just like I substitute strong black coffee for the water). *for me* clarified butter does not dramatically alter the moisture of the cake enough for me to notice.
      The removal of the milk solids from the butter will get it closer to oil, but yes oil will work far better than butter of any kind (clarified or no) if you're going for the full moisture. If that's your goal, just stick to something like the strong black coffee or a darker cocoa powder (if you can find it) to enhance the flavor.
