Chocolate Blackout Cake is Out of This World!

I like how you make mistakes and you automatically rectify them and shows that in life you can be mistakes and use them as the setbacks of success

[@eirintowne]

One of the best lessons I learned in hotel school was to always read the entire recipe first and make sure you understand every step and can visualize yourself doing it. Then do the "mise en place", which is to bring out and measure up every single ingredient and tool you will need and get rid of everything else. Now you have a good idea what you will be doing and what you will be doing it with, and all is within easy reach (including the cloth on which to wipe your hands, of course!), and any cooking project becomes soooo much easier :D

[@rsoubiea]

Yes exactly read thru the recipe, measure out everything, get your ducks in a row. It makes the process so much easier.

[@rsoubiea]

And this is why I hate to bake . . .

[@chilangochongo6487]

Lol you had to go to school to learn that?

[@eirintowne]

@@chilangochongo6487 I learned to read and write this second of my three fluent languages before being taught in school, so when I wrote "one of the best lessons", it was clear to everyone but you that I learned plenty of things at plenty of stages. Sadly, the one skill that still evades me is suffering fools gladly...

Getting matilda vibes from that cake. The chocolatey richness is too real. Amazing job as always👏🏼

[@fightinirish73kk]

tip always grease pans first and when folding in egg whites fold in a little egg white first then rest that way egg whites get folded in properly.

[@sunshinegurl3632]

@10:43 to save this you add white chocolate to the mix. White chocolate is the fat that has been removed from the chocolate making process. The issue is the the chocolate molecules have separated due to the heat, white chocolate will enable the chocolate to adhere and realign the molecules. Rule of thumb, when purchasing chocolate, verify the chocolate have a high cacao content and always purchase white chocolate, preferably from the same manufacture of the chocolate.

OMG this cake looks so good! 😍 I just love how relatable your cooking is haha

Thanks Elle!!🙌🏼🙌🏼

Been looking for this recipe for awhile. It came from a bakery in Brooklyn where I grew up!

[@ogscumperrr9358]

Ebinger's Bakery. This was, and still is my favorite cake.

[@PuentesRE]

I'm many years in the future.. stir and spill... that is my life and Jaimie's apparently. Like if my kitchen isn't a mess when I make anything it's like what is even happening, it's an Elden Ring Life. Love seeing the process of how he improves to be honest. The potential was always there. Period. Mistakes and all, he owns them like a boss. Truly dominates every recipe as he goes along. I think we can all see the influences but at the same time he has made his channel and vids his own. And he should be proud.

[@carolynjanegillis6591]

A baker who uses a stand mixer should have a pouring shield attached to the mixing bowl to make adding ingredients safer and easier to do. Better yet, get two, one for dry ingredients and one for wet. You also need a cake lifter so you can do that plate switching trick cooler!

This was a best selling cake in the Ebinger bakery, iconic & much missed chain in metro NYC. I’ve made this recipe & it’s always a hit with chocolate lovers.

[@mrtodd3620]

Like water for chocolate...watch the movie about how water and chocolate are enemies. Just kidding, that isn't what the movie is about. But still, water and chocolate are enemies.

[@thebadger9302]

So right! I don't know why water was called for instead of cream.

[@kerriemorgan1101]

Cadbury flake is made with seized chocolate which is why it doesn’t melt - fun fact 😁

[@juliefearnside3104]

If it seizes then add a teaspoon of boiling water at a time until it comes together again.. love all you content 😁

[@angelas3950]

“Like water for chocolate” is actually a phrase that refers to the fact that water for making hot chocolate must be brought to the boiling point several times before you make the hot chocolate. In the movie, it refers to how passionate the love is between the two characters before they reach the point where they can be together (and I won’t spoil the ending!)

[@jaimecanovas3929]

[@richardphillips1971]

Hi Jamie a little tip, weigh flour on a piece of greaseproof paper, then when you add it you can bend the paper to form a little chute and you dont get flower everywhere. I see you used CoOp chocolate there so Im assuming you are in UK?

[@GiftWrapped]

Hi! ThankYou Jamie you always create a really great video ! you always make my day : )

[@Clarice-rp7mh]

Every oven is different. The cooking time is a guideline but not hard and fast. Check your cake initially after 1/3 of the time has past then every 5-10 minute thereafter.

[@ninino86]

Every time something doesnt want to mix, try adding some egg yolk. if its already ruined trust me. Its worth a try. Egg yolk is an emulcifier and can bind things together when split, which is what that looks like. I loooove my egg yolks...

[@ZalthorAndNoggin]

Think you did really well with the second lot of frosting, it turned out really well. Looked like a very special chocolate cake. Well done.

this is a good traditional chocolate cake (I agree we are used to metric so have to be more attentive ) the one thing that stood out for me was the recipe calling for adding boiling water to chocolate...that is a bakers no no for sure...I would not do that filling, it is overkill for me but a good frosting (maybe use it for filling or cream (a la black forest) and then a simple ganache on top is my fav. THANKS....Jamie I am a baker but now you(so much fun) have made me bored watching other cooks...lol(p.s.: my eggs were so small so I increased to 5 eggs which was good move)

[@Nalanzazu]

you really need to learn the parchment paper strip method of keeping your cake plate clean so you dont have to keep transferring your cake so precariously

[@StanWatt.]

Adding boiling water to melted chocolate should be done a tablespoon or so at a time otherwise it won't be accepted by the chocolate. HOWEVER, melting chocolate and adding boiling water makes a fine sauce too plus you can add booze if you like but not cups of it. :) ....and well done!

[@KikiYushima]

OOf I would've been way too scared to try that chocolate frosting. I probably would've just made a chocolate buttercream instead.

Hi! Made a blackout cake today. My cake layers were so moist tender and delicious until I was forced to cut horizontally through each cake layer. Ruined again!!! Is there a way to just bake 4 cake pans instead of two so I don't have to cut through any layers? I'm wondering if there is a solution to this problem? I HATE cutting through cake layers! But how could I have baked three 9 inch cake pans and apply pudding to each cake layer? A tall blackout cake could slosh it's way off the table. Any thoughts? Hopeless in upstate, New York.

This looks awesome! I love chocolate. Unfortunately, I developed a GI thing as a part of my physical disability and I'm intolerant to certain things. I can't tolerate *actual* chocolate well except for a very small amount of dark chocolate. Also, I don't do well with dairy. Workarounds have been cocoa powder instead of chocolate (don't ask me why it's okay with that) and vegetable-based butter rather than dairy. Do you think the recipe can be rigged to suit my situation? I'd love to make something for the family for Thanksgiving. :)
