Moist And Rich Homemade Chocolate Cake
The is the moistest and richest homemade chocolate cake recipe i have ever tried! I used this recipe when i baked my own wedding cake. Since my wedding, i continue to make this delicious chocolate cake. I like to frost it with a simple buttercream and use cherries for a garnish, or make cupcakes for my husband's lunch. If you are tired of making dry textured homemade cakes, give this recipe a try!!
Steps
Set oven to 350 degrees.
Cut parchment paper circles to fit three 9 inch cake pans , or 2 larger cake pans.
Alternatively , this recipe will make about 3 1 / 2 dozen cupcakes , using muffins tins lined with cupcake papers.
Sift the flour , baking powder , baking soda , and salt.
Set aside.
Whisk the cocoa and coffee together until smooth.
Set aside.
In a large mixer bowl , cream butter , add oil , beat for one minute.
Add sugars , beat for 10 minutes.
Add eggs , beat 5 minutes.
Add vanilla , beat until blended.
Alternately add coffee and cocoa mixture and dry ingredients into butter mixture , mixing after each addition , making sure to scrape the sides of the bowl often.
Pour into prepared pans.
Bake for about 25 minutes , or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
If making cupcakes , bake for about 20 minutes.
Spread frosting over layers , and frost entire cake', another delicious idea is to melt jam until it's syrup consistency and brush the tops of the layers .
