[@EmorettaRobinson]

Coffee in a chocolate cake is such an incredibly good addition. I did that with the last chocolate cake that I made. It smelled good in the oven as well

[@BrookiBakeHouse]

it truly amplifies the chocolate flavour so much by blooming the cocoa powder! Essential imo!

[@EmorettaRobinson]

@@BrookiBakeHouse I like the process of blooming the cocoa powder. I think it makes a huge difference.

[@alenajafri4506]

I made the cake and it's amazing! Moist, and rich in flavor. I wasn't sure about the coffee but followed the recipe (I made the cake for my sister who hates coffee and she said the cake is perfect!). Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe. ❤❤❤❤

[@alexandrad1990]

Made this today, very rich and moist indeed. But I like the taste a lot, it's exactly how I think a chocolate cake should be. Thanks for sharing the recipe

[@LA009Lab]

Is it heavy or light?

[@alexandrad1990]

@LA009Lab I think it's light, but also intense in chocolate taste and rich. I like it, other people liked it. Xx to me, it's exactly how a chocolate cake should be

[@LeahPost-n4j]

[@BrookiBakeHouse]

Thank you so much and so lovely to see you guys in the comments!

[@kovvi-]

Made this today and definitely lived up to the hype for me. I was most impressed with the cake as it was very moist and almost fudgy, in the best way possible. The frosting was extremely creamy and delicious. Also was a very easy cake and frosting to make! Couple substitutions i made were baking in 9×13 as i dont have 8 inch pans. Cold brew coffee, as that is what i had on hand. And 60% chocolate in the frosting. Would highly recommend other to try, will definitely be making again

[@bhawnaklair3681]

I’m so Glad you shared your recipe!! Can you make a sequel? My husband lovel the Res Velvet Cake, and i try to make it at every birthday of him. I have experimented with many recipes, but everytime my sponge turns too hard or too soggy and oily, also the cream cheese is too thik o liquid or aery If You share your recipe, or just some tips to avoid those flops, i will really remember you and thank you every single time i will be making that cake!!

[@PeachesandPardon]

Just made this and it’s so good!!! I used Bournville for the icing and it was scrummy! Not too sweet either. But I did also halve the cocoa powder both times because I was running out and ran out of vanilla!! I’ll make it properly next time, but even as is it was amazing, perfect for Bruce Bogtrotter!

[@BrookiBakeHouse]

yum i'm so glad you enjoyed!!! I love this recipe because it isn't too sweet, the chocolate really shines through esp with the addition of coffee to bloom the cocoa powder!

[@FoodHow]

I think you might be right, This seems to be the nicest chocolate cake I have ever seen, and I can't wait to give it a try, thank you.

[@JillianJoy-f4m]

I searched a recipe from your book and found this!! I’m going to make this cake and if it’s as delicious as it looks and moist and rich then I’m preordering your book before my first piece is eaten. I’m currently on the way home with fresh cream cheese to try your red velvet cookies 🍪 from your book adds!! ❤😂❤ …it’s not too much to make the cookies tonight, and make this cake tomorrow, right😂❤

[@hayleewilliamson7761]

Does she have a yellow cake recipe or vanilla cake recipe posted or in her new book?

[@JillianJoy-f4m]

Red velvet cookie 🍪 wasn’t great. Came out perfectly made but just wasn’t the best taste cookie. Made twice and exactly the same not great. First time ever my husband dandy finish a batch of cookies , me either. They actually went stale before we ate them. First time EVER we don’t finish off a single batch of cookies I mean it was only 8 or so cookies I even measured out each cookie so the weight was exact. I have a new oven and it took a few minutes longer to cook til not raw and just cooked. The chocolate cake was horrible. Made it exactly to the mg of each ingredient and it came out extremely oily. Had good flavour for 3 bites then again first time we never finished a cake and a majorly chocolate cake too. I’m a chocolatier so I have the best quality chocolate available from Belgium and the cake wasn’t good. Too oily like I said. Amazing at first your thinking finally a rich dark almost black wet cake. So oily it was like it was wet. And the icing wow that was horrible. The most embarrassing recipe instructions ever. I was so confused reading the recipe for the icing it made no sense to make a beautiful buttercream then not mix in a fully made ganache icing then mix it in?? That would work BUT NOPE you mix in warm cream then warm melted dark chocolate DIRECTLY into your PERFECT FLUFFY BUTTERCREAM!! Anyone new to baking or confectionery I suppose won’t understand what happened next but it’s very simple to predict if you’ve ever made buttercream even once you know how light and fluffy the icing is after 10-15minuts of a mixer whipping it. But WHY would you EVER POUR WARM HEAVY CREAM directly onto it and try to mix in?? Well it completely destroys the perfect buttercream you spent 20 mins making. I recommend if making the icing to make the buttercream & make the ganache icing & then mix the 2 icings together!!! That way you get deep rich icing!! Not a melted liquify mess of separated slop. Yummy slop but certainly not gorgeous icing. Bottom line both these recipes were a flop. Like I said in a professional chocolatier, I also own a business for past 3 years in one of the business most famous areas of Vancouver Canada so I’m fairly sure the recipes were made 100/% to the exact instructions. I’ll wait for a yellow cake recipe and try one more time or maybe a brownie. If they turn out then I’ll buy the book because currently the book is a HARD PASS based on the experience mentioned

[@deliber8cre8tor]

@@JillianJoy-f4m the best chocolate cake I've ever eaten from a recipe off of KZbin... Search this title CHOCOLATE CAKE better than Bruce's mom's! | Practical Peculiarities

[@KaelaMoss]

So I made this cake last night. This is probably the best chocolate cake I’ve ever made and eaten. Even the cafés that I’ve had chocolate cake at do not come close to this. Chocolate cake is one of those cakes that can be dry if not made correctly. This was next level good. This is 100% going in the family recipe book. Using a scale is definitely a must and is probably why the cake came out as well as it did. We are a family of four. The cake is almost finished. It was that good 😅😜

[@deborahrivera9371]

Did you use the same type of chocolate bar she did?

[@KaelaMoss]

No I didn’t. I honestly think you could use any chocolate as long as it’s good quality. I’ve made this cake a couple times now and I leave the chocolate out of the icing completely. Just use the cream cocoa etc but no melted chocolate as I prefer the taste

[@larisakrasniuk6290]

Omg so excited to try this... THANK YOU!! If I wanted to make them into cupcakes, would I just divide the bake time in half??

[@BrookiBakeHouse]

I haven't actually tried making this recipe into cupcakes so can't say! For cupcakes I usually opt for a different fat base (butter and sour cream) instead of oil. But let me know if you try!

I live in NYC...Leons Bagels are the best! From milkbar i like the vanilla funfetti cake and the lemon strawberry cake. Levain has a new black and white cookie that is delicious! The levain rocky road cookie was better last year with chunky cashews. This year its sliced almonds and not that great. Next time your in NYC you should try Funny Face Bakery... good chocolate chip, sugar confetti and smore cookies...levain and funny face both have good oatmeal raisin cookies. Levain does dark chocolate cookies the best - peanut butter chip, dark chocolate chip and peppermint chip at holiday time. Also in Bryant Park... coffee place that makes a great corn cookie and chocolate chip cookies. The 3 are considered the top 3 in cookies in nyc...

‼️‼️ VITAL TIP BROOKI ‼️‼️ Those of us who use hearing devices struggle against music that content creators add. Harder still is the choice here at the beginning where the music included vocals while you're talking; sadly that the I'm Out moment for me. Please consider using instrumental and only during spots when you're not talking. Also be mindful of the volume because it hurts like hell when a video goes from talking to BLASTING music directly into our ears. Most folks leave without a word but I prefer to share why which gives you a chance to consider slight changes that will include the hearing impaired community. Thank you Brooki 🍪👀😋
