[@CulpFiction]

So for anybody wondering, I made this cake this weekend. I down-sized the recipe to 2/3 of everything for a two-layer cake instead of a 3-layer cake. I weighed out all the ingredients, opted to not include the GMS, used melted butter instead of canola oil, I added a small handful of dark chocolate chips to the cakes before baking, and baked the cakes for roughly 45 minutes. The recipe called for 40 minutes, but when tested with a fork poke, it was till slightly under cooked. 5 minutes later, the fork came out clean. Cooled the cakes in their pans on a wire rack. Frosted almost exactly like they did here. And seriously... this is the single greatest chocolate cake I think I've ever tried. Not even exaggerating. It's moist, it's incredibly rich, it's decadent, it's spongey, it's dense yet velvety, and honestly even a two-layer cake will be way too much simply because of how rich it is. But omg is it good. Give it a try, seriously. Not disappointed at all.

[@Tee-jc5fo]

thankss (: im gonna try to make mine the same as yours.

[@candacelin4115]

+CulpFiction yup I am so keen to try it this way! although I am thinking of using olive oil instead of canola oil or butter.

[@CulpFiction]

Candace Lin The flavor of olive oil may be too strong for cake, which is typically why canola or other neutral oils are suggested. Vegetable oil is another option as well. :)

[@candacelin4115]

CulpFiction oh yeah, I can see that being possible! I thought the chocolate would mask the olive taste (which I don't mind but parents hate it) but maybe its best to play it safe for something so decadent as this :')

[@cath_po]

+CulpFiction coz does are the oil that is tasteless, specially vegetable oil, unlike olive oil has a taste that just good for cooking not baking..

[@BLeSSeDoGkUSH420]

+ChefSteps how come you put syrup on the cakes?

[@matteo51462]

+anky bh mostly cos it keeps them moist..there's nothing worse than dry cake. Also adds a bit of extra sweetness because cocoa is quite bitter.

[@lauriedepaurie]

+anky bh An old trick for some extra moistness. It's a step in a lot of classic recipies. I sometimes make a simple pound cake (with some lemonzest) and brush it with a limoncello syrup, followed by a sprinkeling of coarse sugar. That is just to die for. You can even do it to pre made cake, just let it heat up in the oven for a couple of minutes. Not that I ever do that and claim I made the cake myself...

[@lauriedepaurie]

What booze did you put in? I'm really curious...

[@kevlareditor7532]

+Muzikgod They used eggs and oil so it probably comes out the same anyway

[@Katalowins]

if you want to prevent some of the air bubbles in the frosting, just dip your metal piping tip in hot water before you apply each layer, or as needed. it also helps not to beat the frosting excessively in the mixing bowl.

[@crystalruby1209]

Love your cooking 😊

[@Grotomode]

UPDATE: Even though my cakes didnt rise as shown, they were perfectly moist and dense so I didnt need to add syrup at all. That might deprive it from the extra vodka kick but the cake definitely doesnt need more sweetness. In fact it needs to be reduced. And thats coming from a guy that always has a sweet tooth. The buttercream needs HALF the amount of sugar. Thank god I tasted it before I added the whole amount proposed by the recipe. I suggest people do the same. Taste after you add half the quantity and then decide what to do.

[@Aikku93]

Hey ChefSteps, thanks for the recipe! I've got two questions in regards to the addition of the GMS: 1) Although I'm sure it will activate/hydrate well enough while baking, wouldn't it be better to melt it into the oil before mixing with the remaining liquid ingredients, since that would allow for better starch complexing when the flour mix is added? 2) What percent monoglyceride content do you suggest using? I'm guessing >90% would work fine if melted directly into the oil, but I'm assuming ~40% would be best if not used as such (due to the large amount of water)?

[@Sweetpopoto]

I made this last night! Oh boy - its the best cake I've ever had!! I used the half recipe in a 8 inch spring form pan. I accidentally added all the cocoa to the dry, but its a very forgiving recipe. I also didn't have half an egg so 3 tbsp of pure egg white works a treat. It was absolutely magical! I didn't frost it but wrapped it up and put it in the fridge. There are no words to describe this but try it yourself!! 11/10 would recommend. PS add a few tsp of coffee into the hot water it'll change your life ;)

[@chefsteps]

+Denis Daniel Ben went there, he sooo went there: chfstps.co/1R3v1Pl

[@RadicalLife1]

+ChefSteps Thoughts on using a liqueur like Drambuie that has a 40% ABV or are liquors preferred?

[@chefsteps]

+Denis Daniel Really, you can experiment with your favorite booze and get all sorts of different results, some more subtle than others. For instance a light rum would add a different flavor than a dark rum or rhum agricole. An aged tequilla and chocolate go surprisingly well together. With Drambuie it would totally work, but you would be upping the perceived sugar flavors in the cake, so you might want to not use too much.

[@RadicalLife1]

+ChefSteps okay that's helpful.Yes, I have a tequila and chocolate combo before and it was pretty stellar! Thanks

[@Nematichan]

+Denis Daniel Cognac and Grand Marnier (orange flavor) are also great combinations with chocolate.

[@Chrisbernstein]

So just went to get the weights and stuff on your website. Wow!! Your site is probably the best I've ever seen. Beautifully laid out and just amazing step by step instructions. The tips that you can open up is great. Yeah easily the best food website I've seen. Oh and the cake looks good too haha!

[@DonnaBorooah]

If you replace part or all of the water with hot coffee, you get a really nice depth of chocolate flavour. And, I melt in a couple of ounces of dark chocolate at that stage as well.

[@ricardse]

I made this today and it was seriously the fluffiest and most moist cake I'd ever eaten, homemade or store bought. This will definitely be my go to cake recipe.

Made a four layer cake with this recipe...turned into a three layer because one of the cakes totally crumbled. I was able to get the other three to hold together enough to frost. You'd think to be that crumbly it would be dry as dust, but it wasn't. It had great flavor and was actually quite moist. Got a lot of compliments from people at the event. Will use the recipe again for sure.
