♥...Moist Chocolate Cake...♥

moist chocolate cake2
Having tried a few moist chocolate cakes before, the result had always disappointed me. It’ll be toooooooooo moisty (watery) in the center even after chilling for hours. Hey, I did not claim the recipe is wrong! I did mistake somewhere for sure! Well, I’ve just started baking U know…(errr, just justifying myself heresengihnampakgigi)
Thus tempted me to try another recipe, highly recommended by Namitha and Sunitha from Cookingpals. Thanks to Namitha for passing me the conversion link. That really helps.

Would say I was terribly excited and satisfied with the outcome. My kids enjoyed the cake very much and Rishie has even ordered me to do it again. Haha, so what else verdict  do U need??? This recipe is sure a keeper. senyum

As for the topping, I made Chocolate Ganache.
I did not chill the ganache this time. Just poured them on the cake whilst still warm...Oooo la la...I loved it! cium

    Jilliane ~> Hi Jillianne, I've included the link for the choc ganache in the post.

    Here it is ;)

    CHOC GANACHE

    500 gm cooking chocolate (finely chopped)
    300 gm heavy cream
    30 gm butter

    * Heat heavy cream until it boils. Turn off flame. Add chopped cooking chocolate n stir quickly. Finally add butter and mix well. Leave it to cool at room temperature for few hours before use.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Hi, OMG! I must be blind to not see the link! I am so sorry if i have troubled you to retype the procedures for me...

    But still thank you for sharing!! Am looking forward to bake this tomorrow..=)

  63. Hello Jilliane, no problem! I just paste the method here. Hope you've tried the cake! :)

  64. Hi. I am new at baking. Just wondering if the
    flour is all purpose flour ?

    ReplyDelete
  65. Hello Shob,

    Yes, I used the All purpose flour. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  66. Hi! I tried the cake today. It took 2.5 hours to cook, and still in the end the skew didnt come out clean totally. Mine is a zanussi gas oven. I notice cakes take longer to cook in this oven. But the end product is yummy. It was moist. Thank you! Any idea why my oven does this?

    NeXT i shall try the ganache. Does heavy cream = thickened cream?

    ReplyDelete
  67. Hello Shob,

    Frankly Im no expert about ovens dear. Im using Teka. Could it be due to gas oven? Not sure though.

    But feels good when you said abt the end product! :)

    Yes, heavy cream = thickened cream.

    ReplyDelete
  68. This is wonderful. I am happy to have 'bumped' into this site. Looking foward to try more recipes. I am glad that my queries are readily answered. And I loved the moist chocolate cake!

  72. Hello Nadia..

    Hehe no worries in asking questions as I do the same too until now. ;)

    Well, I left the ganache for abt 1.5hrs. For quicker use..you may keep in refrigerator for less time.

    I would recommend to prepare ganache prior to the cake.

  88. Hi, I would like to bake a birthday cake with this recipe. Do you think I should bake 2 cakes and put them on top of each other? If yes, then what cream can I put in between the 2 cakes? If I want a thick layer of chocolate ganache, do I double the ganache recipe? Do I pour a layer of ganache, chill the cake for a few minutes and pour and chill again till all ganache is used up? Thanks and appreciate your help!

    ReplyDelete
  89. Sorry 1 more question.....is the chocolate ganache still glossy after I chilled the cake? I am looking for a glossy finish after the cake has been chilled. Thanks and appreciate your help!

    ReplyDelete
  90. Hi, may I know if this is suitable for a birthday cake? Is it necessary to bake 2 cakes and put them on top of each other? If yes, what can I put in between the 2 cakes? Will the chocolate ganache still glossy after refrigeration (I like the glossy look)? Did you use an 8" round baking tray for this recipe? Appreciate if you could help. Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Hi Teo..sorry for my late reply. Kindly message me on my fb page incase its urgent.

      You may bake 2 separate cakes. For the center part, you may use cream cheese icing. Yes the choc ganache will still look slightly glossy after refrigeration.

      Delete
  91. Hi, thanks for your reply.......I am only due to bake this birthday cake in a few weeks time so I still have time; so not urgent. Do you have a cream cheese recipe? If I want a thick layer of chocolate ganache, do I double the ganache recipe? Do I pour a layer of ganache, chill the cake for a few minutes and pour and chill again till all ganache is used up? Thanks and appreciate your help!

  93. I've tried this cake 5 times now. Some times changing the flour to wheat or using buttermilk instead milk, salted butter/unsalted butter.
    It tastes so good even with variations. I love the consistency of how it tastes, looks and smells all the time. I have an excel sheet full of recipes i found online and this one goes straight on top. It's a keeper. Thank you

    ReplyDelete
  94. This was delicious & as promised, very very moist! I doubled the batch and spread jam & cream in the middle. I refused the sugar (1.5 cups for a double batch) My hubby said to write the recipe out & make it again - it's a keeper!

    ReplyDelete
  95. This recipe is the best chocolate cake recipe! sooo good, ive made it a few times now! i actually made two lots and made a swirl cake for my sons birthday, i omitted the cocoa and replaced with flour and added red food colouring and strawberry essence and then blobbed it on top of an already made chocolate batter and slightly swirled. yummm

    ReplyDelete
  96. I wonder how peanut butter frosting would be on this cake???? Sounds so good!
