CHOCOLATE CAKE better than Bruce's mom's! | Practical Peculiarities

[@velocitygirl8551]

I made this today... ohhhh my it's the most beautiful chocolate cake i've ever made and i've made tons of cakes!! I truly didn't think it would come out ... in tact because it's just sooo liquid-y lol!! And i almost made my own frosting because that was just sooo much cornstarch lol. I'm so glad I listened! I will pre-order your book for this lol ... i'm a baker and i've never had a baking experience quite as rewarding as this! Chef's kiss!

[@nikkalcaraz]

Incredible! I am glad the risk was worth the reward. It’s kinda like magic the way it goes from liquid to a beautiful cake. Thanks for trying it and for your support. 🖤

[@thaistabem]

@velocitygirl8551 I am so curious to know how the frosting taste and feels in the mouth! I got a bit scared about the cornstarch quantity as well! How it tasted?

[@nikkalcaraz]

@@thaistabem it’s like canned frosting but with great flavor and not as sweet. A bit pudding like too. The cornstarch doesn’t affect taste or texture. It looks like a lot of cornstarch, but it’s only because it makes a lot of frosting. It’s a huge cake and it needs enough frosting to go between 4 layers and cover the surrounding. My advice is to trust the process. You won’t be disappointed. Think of it as a recipe that has been scaled up.

[@thaistabem]

@@nikkalcaraz definitely will try! Specially because the frost recipe doesn’t require fresh cream milk, which is rare where I live!

[@nikkalcaraz]

@@thaistabem exactly! I wanted one that would be safe to leave out on the counter for a few days. This one is able to do just that.

Just a helpful tip for the buttermilk, use room temp milk. Cold milk doesnt always work, also if you have no vinegar a teaspoon of lemon juice works just as well. I use it to make Irish Bread regularly. Also i absolutely love watching your creations ❤

Sorry if this is a dumb question but your comment said buttermilk, but the recipe calls for whole milk…did you try buttermilk instead of whole milk?

So delicious it makes my pants fall down. Cake and frosting are moist, even after in frig over night. Although fudgy, the cake is tender, and I found it neither unctuous nor cloying. The only changes I made to the recipe are: Three 9 inch x 2 inch pans, plus 6 standard cupcakes, baked for 30 minutes I used the reverse creaming method for batter ½ cup oil plus ½ cup melted butter instead of 1 cup oil 1 cup of rum, plus 2 cups water in frosting, instead of 3 cups water

Entered my baking arc recently and made this cake two days ago! 🧑‍🍳🍰🍫 Got to taste it yesterday because I finished it around 10 PM hahah 😅 too late for cake at that time! It still needed to cool a bit more too, so to the fridge it went after assembly! After tasting it, I must say it is very yummy!!! Not too sweet not too bitter! Just the perfect balance of chocolate flavor! I did struggle a bit following the recipe 🤔 I was going off audio + the instructions in the description, didn't know how long to leave the milk and vinegar mixture go for, As well as missing the text on the video of keeping it medium heat on the frosting making. Was confused on how long the frosting would take at what heat setting. Got some burned bits at the bottom of the pot from raising the temperature 🫣 Did see it in time and it turned out well! Was like magic when the hot chocolate consistency turned to frosting. Was a little scared of clumps due to having bad luck when working with cornstarch but it turned out perfect!! I accidentally ended up overbaking the cake a bit and it releases crumbs upon cutting despite following the heat and timing instructions ( I set it for 75 mins, timer had 22 mins left to go, good thing I checked with a toothpick before they got too dry. Will keep a better eye next time) However, the milk moat method quenches its thirst and makes it soooo gooooood 🤤 ough divine. Saving this recipe for sure! Shared a cut with the neighbors since it's too much cake for 3 people 🤭 hope they like it!! Ended with leftover frosting too, but I like how it keeps its shape and how rich it is! Will use it to practice piping 👌👀

well... that's because it's not a buttercream frosting. If you don't make a buttercream frosting, you won't need the butter (or cream cheese... which is kind of an emulsification copout trick anyway, plus the cake has to then be refrigerated or the cream cheese sours at room temperature and the buttercream clumps and tastes rancid).

Glad I discovered your channel; looking forward to exploring more content. Great video Now that I’m proofreading my comment I sound old as shit even though I’m far from old you’re odd I love it

واو لم أرى من قبل كعكة شوكولا بهذا الجمال، شكراً على الوصفه 🍫🍫

I don't know why I'm so skeptical about this... everyone is saying the cake is so good.. not a single comment complained about it... I'm definitely definitely going to make this next weekend, and if it don't turn out good, then I won't be lyin about. Gosh... I'm too curious.

[@christa4172]

I was skeptical too. but today I tried it and…. Omg…it’s literally perfect. Jsut stay safe on the cutting the cake part cuz I made a mess. It was so moist, idk. I never had a cake this moist. It’s not a bad thing at all. It just means I’m not used to handling moist cakes (but eating them is heavenly). The only ‘downside’ (honestly, idk if I can call it so), is that the icing had perfect flavour, but all the stickiness makes it hard to put on top of the cake. And since the cake is fudgy and moist, it might crumble if you’re not careful. Ehhhh jsut try it. Even the bad parts are good. The taste is top notch. 😊

There is a third way. Serve with Baily’s Irish Cream

Reporting back to say thank you for giving this recipe away. I made this and it turned out amazingly. So moist, not too sweet, super fudgy and extremely morish. Amazing recipe and amazing work by yourself. I handed it out to many people all of which said it was the best cake they have ever eaten. Only adjustments I made was to add a bit more salt since I love salty chocolate, and also cooked for around 55 mins due to my oven.

Omg I just made it for my sister’s birthday it’s so chocolaty and decadent it tastes amazing ! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe

[@Bakerygo]

this cake seems massive just by looking at the amount of each ingredient

[@nikkalcaraz]

It’s a 9inch cake. It’s pretty big but not as big as the one in the film.

[@ghufranbakier9922]

What I like about this recipe is that it does not need butter, sour cream or cake flour .. just beautiful simple ingredients 💙

My Birthday is at the end of the month, my husband died on the 1st of October and i haven't celebrated my birthday really in almost 16 years, because of my grief. Well you changed that for me, i watched this video and all i can think about is making your cake, im going to the store tomorrow and getting the ingredients and I'm making the cake next Friday. Please wish me luck i can't wait to taste it. And maybe I'll share it with my kids and grandkids and maybe i won't !! It's all for me 😂 . Thank You so very much for posting your recipe your video was awesome it lured me in and made me watch. Can't wait ❤🥮🥛🍴🍷

[@SariTempet]

Bless you. I usually hate chocolate but a moist cake like this is irresistible.

[@meghanstockham7258]

Leaving another comment to say I finally made this cake for my birthday party! It was a MAJOR hit, everyone loved it! I tend to be picky with cake icing, but it was absolutely my favorite part of this cake! Not too heavy, not too sweet, with a perfect pudding-like consistency. Thank you for this recipe!

[@CacTuss-cs6ky]

So I made it today and here's the review; Remember, it's a MOIST cake. Meaning a LOT of oil. The cake is super delicate, it can break way too easily. It may seem a bit mousse like here, but in reality it's just oil. Also, it's a bit too rich for my taste. Sorry it seems like I am just complaining. The thing is, if you are not going for those specific characteristics, you should stick to a more "regular" chocolate cake recipe.

So an unfertilised chicken egg is basically a chicken period and not an unborn chicken since it only contains the hen's dna. Calling an egg an unborn chicken is like calling a period an abortion.

[@hiobi1172]

Oooo.... I love the "Bruce Bog Trotter" method of eating this chocolate cake 🤣🤣🤣. Not even halfway through this video, I've already clicked on "thumbs up" 👍🏼, "Like"🥰 and "subscribe"! 👌🏼 I love your presentation - the best so far! 🤩

The frosting is the same as my recipe for hot fudge sundae sauce. I just make mine a little thinner (less cornstarch)

[@kokilavanigopal903]

I have been craving this since I watched Matilda back in my childhood days. Finally, made this recipe for my birthday. And yes, the cake is sooo rich and yumm. I reduced the sugar in the frosting from 600gm to 550gm but still find the frosting way too sweet for my liking. Maybe next time I will reduce it to 500gm. Other than that, it’s a prefect cake.
