CHOCOLATE COFFEE CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C. Line the bottom and the sides of two 8" (20cm) baking pans with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Cake: In a medium bowl combine flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder and stir to combine. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer fitted with a whisk or paddle attachment, beat oil, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla just until combined. Stir in dry ingredients to combine. Slowly mix in hot coffee until combined. The batter will be very thin. Divide the batter into the two prepared baking pans equally. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for about 20 minutes. Then remove from pan and transfer to a cooling rack. Let cool to room temperature.
• Frosting: In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat mascarpone on medium-high speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Sift in powdered sugar and mix until combined and smooth, about 1 minute. Add chilled coffee and mix until incorporated and smooth, about 1 minute. Add heavy cream and mix until creamy, about 1 minute.
• Assemble the cake: Cut a thin layer off the tops of your cakes to create a flat surface. Then cut each cake in half horizontally. Place one cake layer on a cake stand. Spread 1/4 of the frosting over the cake. Repeat two more times. Place last cake layer on top and lightly frost the outside and the sides of the cake with the remaining frosting. Chill at least 4 hours in the fridge or overnight.
• Ganache: Place chopped chocolate in a large heatproof bowl. Place heavy cream and corn syrup in another heatproof bowl and microwave until very hot, almost boiling for about 1-2 minutes. Pour over chocolate and let stand 1-2 minutes. Whisk until smooth, and the chocolate is completely melted. Let stand for about 10-15 minutes. Test the consistency of the glaze down the side of the bowl. It should drip. The longer it stands, the thicker it gets. If it is too firm, reheat it for a few seconds in the microwave. Once it has the desired consistency, it's ready to spoon on top of the cake.
• Remove cake from the fridge and spoon the glaze little by little around the edges and let it drip down the sided. Do this with a small spoon and do one drip at a time. Then spoon or pour the rest of the glaze on top of the cake (maybe you don't need all of it) and level with an offset spatula. Place cake in the fridge for 15 minutes so that the ganache sets. Then serve. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

CHOCOLATE COFFEE CAKE RECIPE WITH CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• To begin making the Chocolate Coffee Cake Recipe, first get all the ingredients together and keep them aside. Next preheat your oven to 160C and butter andgrease two 8-inch round cake pans and keep them aside.
• In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk all the dry ingredients till they are until they are combined uniformly. Gradually add in the eggs (flax meal egg replacer), buttermilk, brewed coffee, oil, vanilla essense. Beat well until all the ingredients are combined and look smooth and silky.
• Spoon the cake batter into the prepared cake pan
• Divide the spoon the chocolate coffee cake batter into the two lined and greased cake pans. Place the pans in the middle rack of the oven and bake for about 40 minutes until the when the tester when inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Once the cake is baked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely. If you dont plan to use the frosting, then you can cut the Chocolate Coffee Cakeand serve immediately.
• If you plan to use the frosting, then you must allow the cake to cool for atleast 5 to 6 hours. I personally like to do the frosting the next day, as no crumbs will stick to the frosting and the cake will come out clean and beautiful.
• You can proceed to make the frosting the same day you bake the cake. Wrap the cake well in foil and place it in the refrigerator and refrigerate your frosting as well. And the next day, apply the chilled frosting to your cake and the cake will be ready for serving.
• Dissolve the coffee powder in warm water and allow it to cool completely and keep aside.
• Place the chopped chocolate in a sauce pan and place it over another bowl of set simmering water. This is the double boiler method of melting chocolate, so the chocolate does not get over heated and melts evenly. Keep stirring the melted chocolate until the chocolate is smooth and creamy. Once melted take it out of the double boiler and allow it to cool compeltely.
• In the bowl of an the stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, add in the butter and start whisking the butter until light and fluffy.
• Next add in the vanilla and the dissolved coffee and gradually keep adding the icing sugar. Continue to whisk on medium speed, scraping the sides of the bowl as and when necessary. Finally once the butter is creamy, gradually add in the cooled and melted chocolate sauce and whisk until well combined. Dont over beat.
• Get your serving tray in which you want to serve your cake. Place one of the cakes with its flat side (bottom side) facing up. With a knife or offset spatula spread the butter cream frosting on the top of the flat side of the cake.
• Next place the second cake on top with its flat side down (bottom side) and rounded side facing up. Give it a gentle press and then apply the frosting on the top and all sides of the cake evenly.
• Dont worry if your frosting is not looking neatly finished. A great way to make a frosting look good is to give it a few spikes with the knife and you will be surprised that it will look completely professional.
• Serve Chocolate Coffee Cake Recipe with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting for birthday parties or even as a tea time snack.

CHOCOLATE COFFEE CAKE WITH DARK CHOCOLATE GANACHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Butter three 8 inch round cake pans, line them with parchment paper, and butter the parchment, Dust the parchment with flour and knock out excess flour.
• In medium bowl, mix the cocoa powder and sour cream with 1 1/4 cups hot water and set aside to cool.
• In a large bowl, sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together and set aside.
• Using a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and shortening together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes - the mixture will appear to string or ribbon throughout the bowl. Add the sugars and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 more minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing about 10 to 15 seconds after each addittion until the egg is incorporated into the mixture. Then turn the mixer to low, add the vanilla, and beat until incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix again for 30 seconds.
• Beginning with the dry ingredients, add the dry mixture and the cocoa mixture to the mixer bowl in three alternating parts, ending with the dry. Divide the batter amond the prepared pans. Use an offset spatula to level the batter. Bake the cakes for 35-40 minutes, rorating the pans halfway through the baking time, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Transfer the pans to a wire rack and cool for 30 to 45 minutes. Turn the cakes out onto the rack and let them cool completely. Remove the parchment.
• Make the coffee buttercream: In a medium, heavy bottomed saucepan, whisk the sugar and flour together. Add the milk and cream and cook over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until the mixture comes to a boil and has thickened, about 10 to 15 minutes.
• Transfer the mixture to the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on high speed until cool (this takes about 7-9 minutes; however, you can speed up the process by pressing bags of frozen berries or frozen corn around the sides and bottom of the mixing bowl). Reduce the speed to low and add the butter; mix until thoroughly incorporated. Increase the speed to medium high and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy, about another 1-2 minutes.
• Add the vanilla and coffee extracts and continue mixing until combined. If the frosting is too soft, put the bowl in the refrigerator to chill slightly, then beat again until it is the proper consistency. If the frosting is too firm, set the bowl over a pot of simmering water and beat with a wooden spoon until it is the proper consistency.
• To assemble the cake: Place one cake layer on a serving platter. Trim the top to create a flat surface, and evenly spread about 1 1/4 cups frosting on top. Add the next layer, trim and frost it, then add the third layer. Spread a very thin layer of frosting over the sides and top of the cake and put it in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to firm up. (This is known as the crumb coating and will help you keep loose cake crumbs under control when you frost the outside of the cake.) Spread the sides and top of the cake with the remaining frosting. Refrigerate it for 15 minutes to firm it up.
• Make the chocolate glaze: Place the butter, chocolate, and corn syrup in the top of a double boiler. Using a rubber spatula, stir the mixture until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth.
• Remove the pan from the heat and stir the glaze to release excess heat. Drizzle glaze over the cake. Refrigerate the cake about 15 minutes to set the glaze before serving.
• Glaze the cake: Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place your cake on a wire rack over the baking sheet. Slowly pour about 3/4 of a cup of the glaze over the cake. Use a small offset spatula to smooth it out to the edges. Place the cake in the refrigerator for 5 minutes to set the glaze. Remove from the refrigerator and slowly pour the rest of the glaze over the cake. It should run down the sides in thick streams. You should be able to control the size and length of the streams by the pour. Feel free to experiment, and have no fear n plaing around. This is the fun part, and there is no right or wrong way. Garnish with chocolate covered espresso beans. Chill the entire cake for approximately 20 minutes, or until glaze is set, then transfer to a cake plate. Serve at room temperature.

HOW TO MAKE COFFEE ICING

Steps:

• Prepare the strong-brewed coffee and set it aside. You can make some using a coffee maker or one part instant coffee and one part hot water. You can also use a shot of espresso.
• Pour the powdered sugar through a sieve into a bowl. This will break up any clumps that might be in the sugar, resulting in a smoother texture when you finish.
• Mix in the strongly-brewed coffee. Pour the coffee into the sugar while mixing the sugar briskly with a fork or a small whisk. You will get a thick, syrup-like consistency.
• Pour the glaze over your cake, cupcake, or pastry. Work quickly, as this glaze will harden up.
