Ultimate Chocolate Cake Recipe | with Chocolate Sponge Cake & Chocolate Buttercream

[@SpoonForkHeart]

You're seriously the best baker that I have ever seen. Every recipe and video is a masterpiece. You're and artist :-)

[@Euonym.]

I made this on Saturday for my significant other :) It was amazing!!! So light and fluffy with just the right amount of decadence to leave you 'Mmmm'ing. I made some truffles to decorate the top too. I used a dark chocolate ganache, some dulce de leche, and some salt to make little hershey's kisses type shapes then covered them in cocoa powder! Your channel really has helped me gain some confidence in the kitchen :) Thanks for another wonderful recipe Tatyana!

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

+Quite an Euonym That's wonderful! I'm so glad you enjoyed my recipe. Thank you for the feedback! :)

[@edithchepkwony3816]

the butter cream idea with condensed milk is genius, i bet its not as sugary as regular butter cream this is a must try

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

Yes, it's a great alternative to adding icing sugar! :)

[@Jaisha26]

Edith Chepkwony I thought it was genius too! I usually make a cooked cornstarch frosting with pudding... it's AMAZING ,but I definitely will try this option as well.

[@jordanian14]

Everything I make after her videos... They all so good 😍😍😍😍

[@creativejessy8896]

It was delicious! I did it gluten free and used Baileys instead of the Rum

[@badrachibi4581]

a little Hello from algeria just to tell you how gorgeous you are, i like all of you recipes, in fact here in algeria the most popular butter cake is the one you jst made in this video, we use it in cakes or a swiss roll, and for the frosting usualy we use the chantilly so am wondering if it's okey if i use some salted butter instead of unsalted todo the frosted you made here?

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

+badra chibi It's such a simple and versatile recipe! :) Yes, salted butter will be fine if you are okay with the flavor; I personally think it would be great. Enjoy :)

hi tatyana.. should I use a liquid measuring cup for the liquid ingredients ?

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

+Eunice Restar Yes, please use a liquid measuring cup for liquid ingredients :)

[@CanadaSocial]

hi tatyana, yesterday I baked this cake for my uncle's birthday and the overall look and taste of the cake was great. However I wanted to perfect the cake and there were two things I noticed and received feedback from friends ... the cake was a little dry and the butercream had an aftertaste of butter. could you please advise how this could be made better. Also the colour of cake was much lighter than yours.

[@angelherft1]

Absolutely fantastiskt and looks delicious 👍👍👍

[@nirosharanaweera5661]

hi I made this cake and It was perfect. Manny thanks and all the best

Muy Buenas recetas. Soy tu fan # 1

[@saraesthermendozavivas6366]

Thank you very much for sharing! Can I use this recipe for a 3 leches cake?

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

Yes, this recipe will work well. You can use either dark cocoa or dutch process :)

[@taherashireen5293]

I made this today . Wish I could upload a picture here for u to see . It looks beautiful . The only drawback I felt is that my cake has become v dry . Idk if I did something wrong or it's the refrigeration that made it so .

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

So sorry the cake was dry! Make sure to soak the cake layers very, very well. And refrigeration might also do that...

[@6ftwalka783]

No oil or butter. Very interesting. I can’t wait to try!!

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

Hope you like it! :)

[@patricialangerodriguez4603]

Beautiful cake and looks delicious!!! Please can you make a rainbow cake. Thank you very much and kisses from Germany :-)

[@ushakoshy1538]

Hi. for your buttercream frosting you don't use icing sugar. Instead you used condensed milk. will it hold its consistency to pipe flowers and will it hold its shape in hot climate .

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

Yes, it does hold its shape very well! If you want more frosting recipes, I have a whole collection titles 'bake to cake basics' on the channel

[@athoolabalkhy]

Will it be fine if i I use half the ingredients to make half the amount??

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

Absolutely!! This recipe will be great halved. Enjoy! :)

[@soniashah6981]

Hi tatyana ,,, can u please tell me what is that shiny liquid which u put on top fruit in cake ?

[@varunacharaz4558]

hi tatyanas I would like to know which tip frosting did you use?, and also i made that cake but instead i used a lesser portion ☺😀😃😃😃

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

Hi! I used tip #4FT for the top :)

[@AussieAngeS]

That cake would taste amazing!

[@rocioorellanaz.4018]

Me gusta mucho la decoración que usas muy originales según varios vídeos que he visto tuyos ...lo malo es que no se inglés :( si pudieras poner en la descripción del video la receta porfavor ... muchas gracias

[@rutujawavare731]

yes sorry i saw it afterwards thanks its awesome

[@varunacharaz4558]

hi i have a request Please do a genoise cake

[@bangaliana8913]

Tatyana plz tell me when should we apply our sugar or chocolate syrup on the cake? what should be the temperature of your cake and syrup? and is this chocolate frosting stable for a long time? plz ans my all questions... I'm waiting for your reply... thanks

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

Make sure the cake is completely cooled before adding anything else to it! Let the layers cool at room temperature. Yes, the frosting should be stable for a while. I recommend frosting the cake, refrigerating it for at least a few hours or overnight, then the frosting will be set for hours.

[@bristykhan532]

I made it. it was a hit.

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

+Bristy Khan Awesome! :) I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@younghans2328]

wait..so theres no use of oil or fat or melted butter wutsoever in the cake batter? is this correct or did i miss sumthg here..help! 🌷🌷🌷

[@Land_of_Oz]

Hi Tatyana, does this buttercream firm up in the fridge? Is it as firm as traditional Swiss buttercream? Thanks :)

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

Yes, it will firm up in the refrigerator :)

[@noorafzaal3903]

I made this cake n it was amazingggg thanks aloot tatayana ♥♥ but I have a question that can I add a little amount of milk in the cake batter .. because I felt the cake was a bit dry

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

+Noor Afzaal So glad you enjoyed it! You can't really add milk to the cake batter but you can always add more chocolate sauce to soak the cake layers! :)

[@noorafzaal3903]

+TatyanasEverydayFood thanks alot for replying me ♥♥ next time ill do that :) n I am a biggg fan of u n ur cooking I have tried alot of stuff n it always came out perfect. thankks alot ♥♥♥♥

[@areebausman5087]

Hi, I just love your recipes and they turn out so perfect. What If I want to make a cake with 6 eggs so in that case how much quantity should I take for cocoa powder, flour and sugar? Thank you.

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

+Areeba Usman Thank you! :) For 6 eggs, you will need 3/4 cup sugar, 3/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, 1 tsp baking powder

[@areebausman5087]

+TatyanasEverydayFood thank you so much ❤️ Looking forward to see some more amazing recipes. God bless you

[@ushakoshy1538]

what if i want to use 4 eggs what is the proportion for the dry ingredients. and for the frosting how much butter and condensed milk. can i add shortening too along with butter

[@speedysweetheartflamewolf6]

What is the difference between that syrup and chocolate Ganache?

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

+Ali Tinder Thanks for replying!

[@jamilabristy1096]

can u show how to make cake fondant easily in your cake basics plz?

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

I usually don't work with fondant but I'll have to add that to my video list :)

[@jamilabristy1096]

thanks

[@pdc4067]

Hi! I would like to do this recipe for son's bday but would like to do a smaller cake like 6 inch pans... how do i proportion your ingredients appropriately? And what cocoa brand will you recommend? Tnx! Love watching your videos

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

Hi! I recommend cutting down the recipe by a third, using 6 eggs. i usually use special dark cocoa powder by Hershey's :)

[@zunun7835]

Hi Tatyana, can i use the chocolate syrup with your chocolate cake recipe instead of sponge cake? Thank you

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

Yes, that would taste wonderful! :)

[@taherashireen5293]

Also there is a slight correction needed in the recipe . Flour is 1 and 1/4th cup .which is written as 156gm .. it should come up to more in grams . Cause one cup alone is about 230 gms .correct me if am wrong

[@iluvesmallvillexx]

Hi Tatyana. Will an electric hand mixer work for whisking the eggs?

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

+Sidra Ali Yes, it will work but it will take longer! Just make sure to whisk until the eggs reach the right consistency!

[@sushmareddy7112]

Hi Tatyana let me start off saying I love the elegance in your cakes I tried this cake...It is good but it was little dry even though it is dipped in abundant chocolate syrup it wasn’t moist...I guess sugar syrup is the best choice...Please suggest

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

Hi! Oh, no! I'm sorry that it turned out dry for you. I just released a new chocolate sponge cake recipe that also includes butter in the batter. Maybe try that version for a bit more moisture :)

[@saraesthermendozavivas6366]

Sorry, one question more: Dark cocoa powder is the same than dutch process cocoa powder? Thank you in advance.

[@L100-n1h]

sara esther mendoza vivas yes you can use either one

[@camari8196]

Can you use this for a cupcakes

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

Absolutely! :) I think this recipe should yield around 24

[@camari8196]

TatyanasEverydayFood thank you. Are sponge cakes normally dry or moist

[@barkesaidheena3432]

Hi Tatyana can i use margarine instead of butter in butter cream.???????

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

+Barke Said Heena I recommend sticking with butter! :)

[@ajlofab6512]

Tatyana, can I substitute the cocoa powder with chocolate? Or anything else?

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

+AJLO FAB You can substitute it with melted chocolate :)

[@mengtan7911]

Hi~ Can I bake it in one 13" round pan Er...I notice there is no adding of oil or melted butter to the batter... will the cake be dry after bake? Thank you .

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

This recipe yields a lot of batter, you may have to use two pans. Once you bake and cool the cake completely, make sure to keep it covered if not using right away to prevent drying

[@ahmalmamari4881]

Can I use one 9 inch pan or 2 with the half batter 6eggs 3/4suger 3/4flour ?

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

I recommend using 2 pans for half the batter. Enjoy!

[@soniashah6981]

Hi , will the iceing taste like butter or not ? Or only the texture ? Please reply

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

No, if you whisk the butter until it's light and fluffy and add the chocolate, it will delicious :)

[@revarangroo]

Hi Tatyana, I visit your page everytime i need some inspiration and i absolutely love your recipes. I just have to ask how long this cake and buttercream can be left outside at room temperature? I'd like to make it the day before a party but wasn't sure whether to refrigerate or leave at room temperature. Aldo does this kind of buttercream retain it's fluffy texture after a day or two? Thank you very much for the fantastic recipes :)

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

Hi! :) if you're making this for the next day, I do recommend refrigerating it. The buttercream can start to melt when left out for too long. I recommend taking the cake out of the refrigerator about 1 to 2 hours before serving to allow the frosting to soften :)

[@therussells7923]

Hi tatyana can u make red velvet cake?

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

+Luckymom820 Yes, I will have one coming soon! :)

[@DrinnMarie]

Hello! I was wondering if the batter portion of this cake recipe would be enough for an 18 x 13 pan? Or would I need to make a batch and a half? Also, what would be your recommendation for adjusting the baking time to suit the 18 x 13 pan?

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

+Adrienne Surfus I think the batter would definitely fit a 18x13 pan. Keep the oven temperature the same and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. I haven't baked a cake in that size pan so I can't give you exact baking time.

[@DrinnMarie]

+TatyanasEverydayFood Thank you so much for your help! This will be my first time making a full sheet cake. I've only done stacked round cakes before. I chose two of your recipes to use. I'm making it half vanilla and half chocolate :-)

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

+Adrienne Surfus No problem! Good luck :)

[@diebuu.8114]

Your videos are very satisfying to the eyes ✨.

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

Glad you like them!

[@UK47UK]

That looks delicious. I'm surprised that you can bake a cake without fat from oil, butter or margarine. I was wondering if I incorporate butter in the batter with this recipe I would ruin the cake. May I know your specific reason for not to use butter in this batter? I've seen your other videos in which you use butter. Thank Tatyana.

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

For this particular recipe (sponge cake), if you add butter, the eggs will go flat. You need the eggs to have lots of volume for the cake to work. This type of cake is great if you want to soak the layers with syrup, or chocolate in this cake :)

[@Onekitchenblogfood]

Beautiful chocolate cake! :-D

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

+One Kitchen - A Thousand Ideas Thank you! :)

[@shonellemiller3478]

Your cakes lovely

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

Thank you! :)

[@azlibra7178]

The frosting looks rather runny, is that due to the heat in your kitchen? Should it be refrigerated for a short time before frosting?

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

You can definitely refrigerate for a bit if you want to work with a firmer frosting :)

[@chorvaever12]

Hi! can I use dutch process cocoa instead of natural cocoa powder? and what would happen to the cake if I use dutch process cocoa? Thanks :)

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

I think it will work just fine! :)

[@chorvaever12]

ok thanks! :)

[@tvmanwhohavesadog]

Tatyana thanks for your recipe. I did your cake and it was fantastic! mmmmmmm

[@merinjames3086]

Hi there, can we make this chocolate sponge cake without egg yolks?

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

Hmm, I've never made it without the yolks. I'm not sure if the cake would have the same consistency.

[@merinjames3086]

TatyanasEverydayFood ok thank you for your quick response😊

[@appleofhiseye5491]

hi I was wondering if this same cake can be made as a sheet cake instead of traditional round?

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

Yes, this will work great as a sheet cake, too :)

[@faridaali7913]

hey tatiana , i love ur videos. quick que, can i use the mixture to make cupcakes? and csn i use choc that comes in block shape to make the syrup?

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

This recipe is better for cakes. For cupcakes, I recommend using my chocolate cake recipe that's featured in my 'Black Forest Cake' video. And yes, block chocolate will also work :)

[@zainababdulsameea3723]

I just found your channel! Thus looks delicious i am definitely going to try it! Can i use this cake under fondant? Do you think it will hold the weight of fondant and decoration? And can i replace heavy cream with whole milk in the chocolate syrup?

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

+Zainab Abdulsameea This would be a great cake for fondant cover! :) I haven't tried using whole milk for the chocolate sauce but it should work!

[@samiakhan4612]

wowowow! please can u tell me which coco powder brand u use as i get so confused when it comes to getting the right item which will not give a cheap chocolate flavour instead of a rich chocolate flavour....dnt want to buy drinking chocolate!

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

I typically use either Hershey's Special Dark cocoa powder or Ghirardelli :)

[@revathiharikrishnan]

I am a beginner in baking..please help me to clear one doubt.once the whipping cream is whipped, can we use the balance whipped cream for chocolate ganache

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

For chocolate ganache, you'll need the cream unwhipped/unmixed, just pour it out of the bottle :)

[@revathiharikrishnan]

TatyanasEverydayFood thank you

[@mkh6249]

Hiiii!!! OMG I love your channel!!! Baking is one of my hobbies, so whenever I feel like baking a cake for my family or friends I come to your channel!!! I do want to ask you something! Can I use heavy whipping cream instead of the butter for my frosting? If so, how much do you think I'll need???

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

For this particular recipe, if you don't want to use the buttercream, I recommend using the frosting from this cake: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5u9l5Kfer2Hmqc

[@rachelmcgrew2916]

Could I use this buttercream recipe and subtract the cocoa? I'm wanting to use it for a watercolor cake, so would this be ok for that?

[@TatyanasEverydayFood]

Check out my series of frosting recipes here: kzbin.info/aero/PLpyo8sN8s8AdXy4Kcbkb2hezWeL2I1VL9

[@rachelmcgrew2916]

Thank you so much. I recently tried this (French) chocolate buttercream and it worked really well with the cake, although I found that I should have used UNsalted butter since it came out a touch too salty. It paired really well with the cake though so I'm definitely going to make this again, just with unsalted butter. :)

[@tanyenman]

Hi, Tatyana, just to make sure, how much condensed milk did you use for the recipe?
