Ingredients
Cake
2 ½ cup (375 g) all-purpose flour
1 cup (120 g) regular cocoa powder
2 ¼ (12 g) tsp baking soda
1 ½ (8 g) tsp salt
1 tsp (3 g) baking powder
1 ¼ (250 g) cup sugar
¾ cup (150 g) dark brown sugar, packed
1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 ¼ cup (560 ml) buttermilk, room temperature
2 large large eggs, room temperature
1 ½ (8 ml) tsp vanilla extract
6 oz (170 g) bittersweet chocolate, chopped, melted and cooled
Frosting
3 cup (775 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup (250 ml) cream cheese, room temperature
24 oz (680 g) bittersweet chocolate, chopped, melted and cooled
4 tsp (20 ml) vanilla extract
½ (3 g) tsp salt
4 cup (520 g) icing sugar, sifted
⅔ (80 g) cup cocoa powder, sifted
Directions
Cake
1. Preheat oven to 350F (175 C). Grease and line with parchment 3 8-inch round cake pans.
2. Sift flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt and baking powder into a large bowl (or into the bowl of a standup mixer fitted with the paddle attachment). Add sugars and butter and blend until a crumbly texture.
3. In a small bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs and vanilla together and add to larger bowl while mixing on low speed. Once incorporated, increase speed to medium-high and blend until smooth, about 3 minutes.
4. Slowly pour in melted chocolate until evenly blended, then scrape batter equally between prepared cake pans, tapping pans gently to remove any large bubbles.
5. Bake cakes for 40 to 50 minutes, until a tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool cakes for 30 minutes in the pan, then carefully turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
Frosting
1. For frosting, beat butter and cream cheese on high speed, scraping sides frequently, until light and fluffy. Reduce speed and add melted chocolate. Add vanilla, salt, icing sugar and cocoa and beat until smooth.
2. To frost the cake, slice each cooled cake layer across in half. Top one layer with icing and spread. Place second cake layer on top, and repeat with remaining layers. Ice the top of the cake and finish with the sides. Chill cake to set, but it is best stored at room temperature.

Don't forget to read the recipe in the description and let us know in the comments how your Blackout Chocolate Cake turned out!
Can the recipe's be in grams?
Can't it possibly done to steam ?. Coz I don't have oven ..
How can I know the 1 cup of butter in grams
Oh Yum with Anna Olson hi there! Please do give the recipe in grams, thank you! 😊
@@ahmedbelshalat2641 it's 226 grams
I had to chk the date to see if this was back from thr 90's.
It's definitely the now! :)
Me too
Same. She looks younger... :-)
Oh Yum with Anna Olson hi Anna can I substitute the buttermilk with sour cream if so how much of sour cream would I need?
same.. 😂😂😂
Idk but this is giving me the early 2000s vibe. Edit: thanks for the 1k likes 🥰
i know!!!!!!!!
Sims 2 vibes
The handmixer! I actually thought this was the 80’s.. lol
I even looked at the date I think these is a video of the 80's.
Samee
No industrial grade stand mixer? No measurements by weight? You're my kind of baker. Thank you for not making cake baking more difficult than it has to be. It looks so scrumptious!
I found this cake recipe besides 3 others all claiming to be the "most amazing chocoate cake ever". I made 4 cakes in 4 days (without frosting/icing) and this one won the title of "most amazing" by everyone in my house. We had fun doing "blindfold tests" and could tell Anna's cake from the others. While the others weren't bad at all, including the chocolate cake made famous by Ina Garten, this one was a level higher in terms of richness, texture, and chocolate-y flavor. Thank you Anna. I have become a fan of yours not only because of your great receipes but also because of your down-to-earth style, helpful hints, and easy-to-follow instructions.
While my waistline can't afford to make many of your Oh Yum goodies, it's really fun, enteraining, and informative to just watch you work wonders in the kitchen.
I know, right how is she so slim?😜 I've made this cake for my husband's birthday and I too previously made Ina Garten's. In my opinion this cake is far more moist and my kids preferred it.
RE Ina Garten's recipe, the difference seems to be adding coffee and oil VS adding melted chocolate to the cake.
It's good, but too salty for my taste. Maybe because I have don't like too much salt in chocolate.
She’s a natural teacher. Calm, confident, and smart.
I've had great teachers that were wild, insecure and smart. so, yeah, stfu
@@mirrortoyourweakness9769 But no one asked you lol. Get a life
3/4 dark brown sugar, 1 cup unsalted butter (cut pieces), 2 eggs, 2 1/4 cup buttermilk, 1.5 tsp vanilla,
She reminds me of Martha Stewart
everyone is so toxic in this comment thread... contrary to her community-
Her hand writing on a cake was more beautiful than mine on a paper 😅
She works out 4-5 times per week
@@9929kingfish do you like chocolate cake? 🍰
Secia Gutierrez I do. I make a really good one.
@@9929kingfish well sounds like your adorable 😊
did u read my comment
Fabulous presentation!!! No rambling preamble, no putting us all to sleep with dull, uninspired dialogue. Easy-to-follow instructions & measurements. Can’t wait to make this!!
This video is so inspiring. To see how Chef has come a long way. From when she didn't have a fancy kitchen, or flour and sugar drawers, or kitchen aid, or even piping bags to having it all. That's true success. I want that and more.
Yes that's so right.
*What is the Gospel?*
The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Romans 10:9
9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
JESUS CHRIST can come anytime!
REPENT OF YOUR SINS Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS

I don’t know why I’m subjecting myself to this while I’m fasting...
Getting ideas for what to eat when the fast ends?
Same 😩
me too
If you don't eat protein, you crave sugar.
Y’all muslims?
No matter how many baking channels come along, I always come back to Anna for everything! I love how she is so practical. Any home Baker can make this beautiful, tasty cake. Thanks, Anna. Xo
I made the cake following your recipe exactly. The cake turned out to be amazing. Almost like brownie. I was so skeptical before starting to bake but it turned out to be so good. Words can't describe my feelings..
Did you actually spend the same amount of time mixing the batter?

Hello 👋 how are you doing today
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
I believe I have converted all the dry ingredients to metric, using conversion tables on the internet: The one thing I noticed is the typed recipe says 1 cup cream cheese, but in the video Anna says 8 ounces, which is by weight a standard 'brick' as it is sold in North America. It's not actually equal to a dry measure one-cup, which I see is supposed to equal only four ounces.
Cake
2 ½ cup [320g] all-purpose flour
[called plain flour in many countries]
1 cup [125g] regular cocoa powder
[non-Dutch processed as Anna says in the video, it's a redder brown, Dutch processed is deep brown and almost black]
2 ¼ tsp [6.8g] baking soda
1 ½ [7g] tsp salt
1 tsp [7g] baking powder
1 ¼ cup [250g, white granulated/castor] sugar
¾ cup [150g] dark brown sugar, packed
1 cup [225g, or two sticks in US standard size] unsalted butter, room temperature
2 ¼ cup [532ml] buttermilk, room temperature
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
6 oz [170g] bittersweet chocolate, chopped, melted and cooled
Frosting
3 cup [675g, six sticks in US standard size] unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup* [8 oz, or 226g] cream cheese, room temperature
[I think 1 cup is a typo, should be 8 oz in weight judging by the appearance in the video]
24 oz [680g] bittersweet chocolate, chopped, melted and cooled
4 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp [3g] salt
4 cup [440g] icing sugar, sifted
⅔ cup [83g] cocoa powder, sifted
By the way I also wanted to do this to convert the recipe to reduce down to a modest 6” round cake for a smaller gathering. Turns out I just need to halve the recipe.
But cream cheese isn't a dry ingredient.
1 cup of cream cheese is 227g / 8 oz.
Just like butter, where the standard packaging is 1 lb / 454 g which is equal to 2 cups (and you get this conversion correct in your listing).
Really though, given the international reach of CZcams Oh Yum really should be providing these recipes in both volume and weight measures.
don't even bother with American recipes, too much sugar, cups and ounces, mind you the fat content of butter in the states is less than europe. so many other recipes to look at. my to go frosting is ganache, easier and less fatty and less sugary... I watch these as a pastime or just to get some ideas...
cee kay she's Canadian eh🇨🇦! Just saying🙂. My wife has some of her books which also have metric. Her chocolate chip cookie recipe is the best we have ever found!!

@@WhatWeDoChannel please publish it for us
This totally reminds of the chocolate cake in the movie Matilda!
I’m not much of a chocolate lover BUT this cake looks so scrumptious, I need to make it!
same : )
I find all her demonstrations of cooking food extremely relaxing....I watch it at night before bed
I baked this cake yesterday, it is a beautifully massive cake. When I cut a piece, and began to eat, I felt like I was going to be arrested.. This cake should be illegal!! UNBELIEVABLY DELICIOUS 😍
Hii!!! I’m planning on making it! Is the frosting a very sweet one or does it balance out with the coco powder and cake? I’ve been looking for a good chocolate frosting but I’m always worried about it being too sweet or bland. Also was the cake fudgy or spongey?
@@medhanair7115 The best way to describe the frosting in very chocolate, it is sweet, but not over sweet,, very chocolate. The cake is very fluffy. This is without a doubt the best chocolate cake I ever made. It disappeared so fast could not stop eating it. MAke IT You won’t be disappointed
@@medhanair7115 24 oz of chocolate need I say more??? Also use high quality bittersweet chocolate, cheap stuff will be too sweet.
@@timsullivan9135 haha thanks so much!
@@timsullivan9135 ka
I got so happy when she added the chocolate to the frosting!
Isn't chocolate just divine?
@@ohyum Yes, yes it is. yummmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I baked this, and it was simply divine. The entire cake lasted maybe 3 days (there are only only 4 of us).
She is my favourite Baker to watch, so confident and a warm person.
Well, Is it just me feels the same thing tho, it feels 90's/2000 era
Me too 💕
Your devil cake i made it several times. Now i doing a small business with the help of your receipes . thank you.sooooo much. Iam a kerala malayalee.
Hai there..The devil cake..is it too sweet or just fine?

Wowwwwww how is devil cake in taste do follow exct recipe
computech publishers hey can u pls tell me where your shop is... coz I'm also from kerala.....
computech publishers Haha kachara!😆
Tried this yesterday, my first chocolate cake ever and it turned out just awesome! Light and delicious! Thank you!
Chocolate cake is such a simple concept and dish and it's one of my absolute favorites.
Not a bunch of flavors fighting. No different consistencies ruining the bite like whipped cream with strawberry and it's seeds with the sugar cake base.
It's just a plain cake and it's the simplicity that makes it such a great all purpose desert for any occasion.
I love the way she says "a pound and a half" with that naughty smirk in her face.
😂
you dirty dog
Lol
implies too much butter
omg all my memories is coming back. i used to watch baking with anna olson every morning before school. IM LOSING MY MIND
Wow. I love how you explain things thoroughly and so calm. And how you made a piping bag as well, truly inspiring for an aspiring chef like myself. Amazing!
This is my first video I’m watching, and I’m loving it. I’m a home baker and cook so it’s always fun to see how people do things differently. I will be trying this method at home.
You know she’s a good cook because she puts her ingredients in fancy glass jars
You know she's a good cook because she's made a very successful living off of her cooking skills for a very long time.
@@maggiemoran7747 by why don't you give the quanties of ingredients
You forgot the oven.
@@maggiemoran7747 How are you doing?
OMG...! WOW...! This is the best chocolate cake recipe in the history of baking! I´m still flipping over this! You can actually smell and taste the chocolate oozing out of the screen! Hands down, insane chocolatery! Anna's just hit a World Series Game 7 injured (Kirk Gibson style) inside-the-park grandslam. DOBLE WOW...!
Hi Anna , I just wanted to say how much I love your recipes and the way you make them look so easy , I made this cake twice for my family and even though it's a lot of ingredients it's the BEST CAKE EVER tasted!!! All my family love it, it has the most amazing flavour and 100% better than ANY shop bought !!! YOU JUST can't compare !! I have also tried your shortcrust pastry recipe , again brilliant !!! My utube saved recipe folder is full of your recipes only !!! God bless you and Thank you again !!
I made this cake today. Result was excellent yummy very moist. Thanks dear you made my day😘
I'd put that cake up beside any cake you can buy in a bakery.... That's a masterpiece! Anna's a master at her craft....Love your videos!
I started watching this and it reminded me that i used to watch Anna with my mum. She loved Anna and her baking. It also reminds me that nothing is as good as mums cooking and now shes gone and i will never experience that again.
I miss her golden oat biscuits so much that no words have the power to describe how i feel . . . . . . Itsvlike that memory of the first time you tasted chocolate or heard the most wonderful music . . . . .no matter what, you will never experience that feeling again . . . . . . warm biscuits and love . . . . . . .
Bless her soul!
Beautiful write up!😌
This cake and its ingredients is the best chocolate cake I have ever sean. It is absolutely wonderful and I congratulate you and it deserves 6 stars.❤
I didn't have buttermilk so instead i used warm water, same amount and everything and man, it was amazing. My parents said it was the best cake ever they ever tasted and it sure was! Thank you for this amazing recipe, will try again with buttermilk too!:)
Aww... this just shows how succesful she became n how much she improved...:))
dunno why, but her baking/cooking always calms me down💖
Made this for Eid and this is by far the best chocolate cake I've ever baked!!!
Well, she has added more butter and chocolate than I eat in a complete year! 😀😀
Wow did you planning on eating that whole cake yourself?
I made this recipe today for my birthday. So good!!! Thank you Anna for posting this. 😊
That's very delicious chocolate cake very nice,I'm definitely going to give it a try thanks for sharing.
Please let us know how it turned out!
I am repeating this review that this cake was the most amazing dessert I have ever made. It is so over the top incredible. It induces a chocolate coma. Anna's Devil's Food cake recipe is also omnipotent. I froze a portion of the black-out rendition and re-purposed it into a trifle (with a chocolate pudding, whipped cream, and -- raspberries, of course) a few weeks later.
I love her personality, she is so charismatic! I’ll definitely make this 💖 looks amazing
I have watched and followed thousands of cooking and baking videos. I have to put you up there with the best on the Internet. No fluff or bullshit, just a straight forward recipe to a great cake. ( I followed your recipe and it came out so delicious)
Pleasant voice, easy understandable direction. I am happy to follow your page
Wow.. That looks perfect!! I'm gonna make this for my dad on his bday!
I tried the recipe today and it is so good.
Thanks for sharing
Finally I found a recipe that has extremely amazing instructions. Thank you 🥰
I am a South African citizen and I love all your baking and cooking when I see you in the kitchen you do everything with love and Jesus in you.❤😊
I’ve been obsessed with Anna since “Sugar” first aired years ago. She and Ina Garten are my recipe, go-to gurus for everything baking and savoury dishes too! Love you, Anna!! ❤️
i made this cake today , just way you showed us. it came out fantastic !!!! thank you very much.
Magnificent! I just LOVE watching your Channel and the way you explain extra details. I always learn something new. Your style in teaching is simply the best!

OMG! I'm making this for my next cake order! I love your baking!
This recipe is so yummy .Everytime I bake I use this recipe my family's favorite.Thank you for sharing this recipe.
I have watched you for years do the most beautiful and delicious baking imaginable BUT this "TAKES THE CAKE" I am not a crazy chocolate lover like most, a little goes a long way with me BUT I still like it and I love to cook and bake. I learned from my family in France where I lived 13 years and they own a bakery 'Boulanger' but you have outdone yourself on this one in my opinion. GREAT STUFF CHEF
I love how you explain from ingredients until the way to make..
I'm so excited to make this 😊
Thanks anna.. greetings from indonesia 😊
Wow everytime i bake chocolate cake I always used your recipe my family love it. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS RECIPE. GOD BLESS YOU.

Perfect recipe. No fancy bullshit. Just what everybody wants to know in 8 minutes. Well done.
Looks absolutely divine. Can't wait to try it.
Look at that beautiful moist cake interior! Now let's hide it with frosting! 😂💜 cracked me up!
I really love and appreciate that you use the spatula to remove (clean out) everything in the bowls it givea me OCD. WHEN I SEE OTHER PEOPLE LEAVE chocolate or other food in the bowl instead of using an spatula to wipe out everything inside.
Omg I just fallen love with this Owen too not just a person and the cake lol. 😁 Thank you
You're amazing. You make it look so easy, and you stay so clean!
Yummy for sure 😋😋😋😋 thanks for sharing. More power😍👏👍❤️
It's Ramadan and I'm fasting... Probably not a good idea to watch this but I love chocolate 😩
may Allah swt protect you from devil choc ck
is that a good duaah ?i have not aamiin
She is wicked❤. She read my mind. The only reason I eat cake is for the frosting 😅
Love the bowl wrap to hold the bowl! Also showing on low butter into dry...cool and so easy!

Oh the cake smells sooooo good. Baked 4 layers so far, few more today and the frosting...hope to make a two tier cake :) can't wait to cut into it. 🍫🍫🍫🍫
I’m a fan if this “reverse creaming “method and often use it in place of the traditional approach. That said this cake is wonderful and I also like to make a soaking syrup for all my cakes and alternated between the chocolate filling and a fresh raspberry filling I make for my husbands 🎂It was a hit. TFS
It's a must do nice and simple....thanks for the recipe
Can’t wait to try this one.
How decadent! I love chocolate cakes! ♥️
She's amazing. Simply amazing!
Thank you!
Make it today my family is happy...tnx for sharing
This is the best chocolate cake ever .. super easy super goood , thanx Anna
Anna wasn't playing with this recipe lol
Reverse creaming method makes your cake sooooo moist...
reverse creaming sounds dirty
It came out fantastic, thank you
