Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating until smooth after each addition. Line with parchment paper, then butter and flour the pans.
Steps to make Chocolate Cake:
- Heat oven to 150c and grease 2 x 23cm cake tins
- In a large bowl break the chocolate into chunks and cut the butter into 2cm cubes. Pour over the hot coffee and stir until melted
- Add the sugar and whisk until dissolved.
- Add eggs and vanilla and whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt and whisk until combined.
- Pour the cake batter into the cake tins. Bake in oven for 35 minutes (check cooked by inserting a skewer and it comes out clean)
- To make the buttercream- melt the chocolate over some boiling water. Leave to cool to room temp. Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, add the vanilla and chocolate and beat until well combined.
- Once the sponges have reached room temperature (atleast 1 hour) spread 1 third of the buttercream over one sponge, sandwich with the second sponge and cover with the remaining buttercream. 😋
Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder. Also, if you've ever wondered why some chocolate cake recipes (like this one) call for boiling water, it's because it helps bloom the cocoa powder, giving the cake a deeper chocolate flavor. For a softer cake, you can substitute cake flour for the all-purpose flour. This is a deep, dark chocolate cake, but it was almost TOO moist,TOO dense. Don't know what really accounts for the difference since the recipes are so similar, and maybe it's just a matter of personal preference, but while this was a very good cake, I'll stick with the other.
