Here's how to make my super moist and easy chocolate cake recipe - perfect for beginner bakers too. • FULL RECIPE 👇🏻 • FOR THE CAKE: • ✅ 65g (3/4 cup) COCOA POWDER • ✅ 220g (1 cup) PLAIN FLOUR (GF) • ✅ 2 tsp BICARBONATE OF SODA (BAKING SODA) • ✅ 1 tsp BAKING POWDER (GF) • ✅ 330g (1 + 2/3 cup) CASTER (SUPERFINE) SUGAR • ✅ 240ml (1 cup) BUTTERMILK (or mix milk and 1 tbsp of lemon juice and allow to rest for 10 mins) • ✅ 120ml (1/2 cup) VEGETABLE OIL • ✅ 1 tsp VANILLA EXTRACT • ✅ 2 LARGE EGGS • ✅ 240ml (1 cup) BOILING WATER • ✅ 1 tsp INSTANT COFFEE (optional) • FOR THE BUTTERCREAM: • ✅ 250g (generous 1 cup) BUTTER, SOFTENED • ✅ 55g (generous 1.5 cup) ICING (CONFECTIONER’S) SUGAR • ✅ 55g (3/4 cup) COCOA POWDER • ✅ 110g (3/4 cup) DARK CHOCOLATE, MELTED AND COOLED • For cake 👇🏻 • Prepare your tins. Grease and line 2 round cake tins with parchment paper. • Preheat the oven to 180C (160C Fan) • If making your own buttermilk, add 1 tbsp lemon juice to a jug and then add 240ml of milk. You can use dairy or non dairy milk. Stir thoroughly and then allow to sit for 5-10 minutes. The 'buttermilk' will then be ready to use. • Sift all your dry ingredients into a bowl (flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and sugar). • In a separate large bowl mix together the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined. (I used an electric hand mixer) • Gradually add your dry ingredients to your wet ingredients. You can do this by hand or with your electric mixer on very low. • Add your hot coffee or hot water and mix. I just used my electric hand mixer on very low. (Don’t worry at how thin the mixture is. It will cook in the oven to make a super moist cake!) • Carefully pour your cake mix into your tins evenly and place in the oven for around 25-35 minutes. (Check with a skewer to make sure it is cooked through - it will be very soft whilst warm!) • Leave to completely cool. • For the icing 👇🏻 • Melt your dark chocolate (I do this is the microwave in 20 seconds bursts), put to one side to cool whilst making the rest of the buttercream. • To make your icing, place your butter in a stand mixer (or electric hand whisk if you don't have a stand mixer), mix on its own on a high speed for about 5 minutes. The butter should change from a more yellow colour to being a lot more pale. • Add your icing sugar gradually to the butter (I do this in two stages). I mix each addition of icing sugar for around 3 minutes before adding the second half. • Sieve in your cocoa powder and then mix again until fully combined. • Add in your cooled melted chocolate and mix until dispersed evenly, the colour is a lovely rich chocolate colour and it's a nice thickness to spread. • Place one of the cake tiers on a serving place and spread the icing on top. Then place the other cake tier on top like a sandwich. • Spread the icing on the top and round the sides of the cake using a spatula. • It’s ready to serve up! (You can allow it to set for a short while. You could even put it very briefly in the fridge to chill - but again probably not necessary) Enjoy! • ------------------------------------------------ • Subscribe and hit the 🔔 pretty please → http://www.youtube.com/user/glutenfre... • Follow me on Instagram for recipes and more day-to-day stuff on my story → / beckyexcell • ------------------------------------------------ • Fancy a chat? • INSTAGRAM → / beckyexcell • TWITTER → / beckyexcell • FACEBOOK → / beckyexcell • MY BLOG → https://www.glutenfreecuppatea.co.uk • ------------------------------------------------ • This is not a sponsored video. • #beckyexcell
