Sour Cream Fudge Cake Food

SOUR CREAM FUDGE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter and flour two 9" round cake pans.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, coffee, sour cream, and vanilla. It will make a gorgeous shiny fudge.
• In a large bowl beat the butter until smooth and shiny. Add the sugars and continue beating until fluffy, and then beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing between each addition.
• In another bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Add it to the butter in thirds, alternating with the fudge mixture, scraping down the bowl several times as you go.
• Divide the batter between the two prepared cake pans and bake for 25 - 30 mins. A pick inserted into the center will come out clean.
• Let the cakes cool before turning them out on a wire rack to cool completely.
• To make the chocolate buttercream, beat the butter until smooth. Whisk together the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Add it a cup at a time to the butter, mixing well in between each addition. When the mixture is too dry to add any more of the powdered sugar, add the vanilla and milk, and sprinkle in the salt. Add the remaining powdered sugar/cocoa and beat the frosting on high until fluffy and smooth. If it seems too thick you can add just a little more milk.
• Stack and frost the cooled cakes, slice and serve.

SOUR CREAM TOFFEE FUDGE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Grease 3 (10-inch) cake pans with the 2 teaspoons of the butter. Line each with parchment paper and butter with 1/2 teaspoon butter. Set aside.
• Place the cocoa in a bowl and slowly add the hot coffee, whisking until smooth. Set aside and cool.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream and vanilla. Whisk in the cooled coffee mixture.
• Sift the flour, baking soda, and baking powder together onto a sheet of waxed paper or into a bowl.
• In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, cream the remaining pound butter and the sugar. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. On low speed, add the flour mixture alternately with the coffee-sour cream mixture. Beat until glossy.
• Divide the batter among the 3 prepared pans. Bake a cake tester comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely in the pans on a wire rack.
• Remove the cakes from the pans and peel off the parchment paper. Using a long serrated knife, trim off the rounded top from each to make a flat surface. Place the first cake layer on a cake plate or stand. Spread about 1 1/2 cups of the chocolate icing across the top, out to the edge of the cake, and sprinkle with about 3/4 cup crushed butter toffee. Repeat with the second layer and another 1 1/2 cups icing and 3/4 cup crushed toffee. Place the third layer upside-down on top. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining icing, and press the remaining crushed toffee onto the sides and top of the cake. Serve.
• Combine the cream, butter, cocoa, and corn syrup in a large saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Remove from the heat.
• Put the chopped chocolate in a large bowl. Add the hot cream mixture and let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Add the vanilla and almond extracts and whisk to blend. Cover and refrigerate until needed. (The icing will keep refrigerated for up to 3 days.)
• Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
• Combine the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cream in a medium heavy saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. Continue to cook until the mixture reaches 300 degrees F, or the hard-crack stage (a drop of boiling syrup immersed in cold water crackles).
• Remove from the heat, add the vanilla, and stir. Pour onto the prepared sheet and let cool completely.
• Crack the toffee into large shards with a rolling pin. Place the pieces in a large deep pot and break into smaller pieces with the end of the rolling pin. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.

CHOCOLATE FUDGE CAKE

Steps:

• For the fudge icing:
• 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, minimum 70 percent cocoa solids
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 1 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• For the cake:
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and line the bottom of 2 (8-inch) cake pans.
• In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugars, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl or wide-necked measuring cup whisk together the eggs, sour cream and vanilla until blended. Using a standing or handheld electric mixer, beat together the melted butter and corn oil until just blended (you'll need another large bowl for this is using the hand mixer; the standing mixer comes with its own bowl), then beat in the water. Add the dry ingredients all at once and mix together on a slow speed. Add the egg mixture, and mix again until everything is blended and then pour into the prepared tins. And actually, you could easily do this manually; I just like my toys and find the stand mixer a comforting presence in itself.
• Bake the cakes for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a cake-tester comes out clean. Cool the cakes in their pans on a wire rack for 15 minutes, and then turn the cakes out on the rack to cool completely.
• For the icing:
• Melt the chocolate in the microwave - 2 to 3 minutes on medium should do it - or in a bowl sitting over a pan of simmering water, and let cool slightly.
• In another bowl beat the butter until it's soft and creamy (again, I use the stand mixer here) and then add the sifted confectioners' sugar and beat again until everything's light and fluffy. I know sifting is a pain, the 1 job in the kitchen I really hate, but you have to do it or the icing will be unsoothingly lumpy. Then gently add the vanilla and chocolate and mix together until everything is glossy and smooth.
• Sandwich the middle of the cake with about a quarter of the icing, and then ice the top and sides, too, spreading and smoothing with a rubber spatula.
