BEATTY'S CHOCOLATE LAYER CAKE





Butter, for greasing the pans


1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pans


2 cups sugar


3/4 cups good cocoa powder


2 teaspoons baking soda


1 teaspoon baking powder


1 teaspoon kosher salt


1 cup buttermilk, shaken


1/2 cup vegetable oil


2 extra-large eggs, at room temperature


1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract


1 cup freshly brewed hot coffee


Chocolate Buttercream, recipe follows





Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter 2 (8-inch) round cake pans. Line with parchment paper, then butter and flour the pans.





Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix on low speed until combined. In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry. With mixer still on low, add the coffee and stir just to combine, scraping the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean. Cool in the pans for 30 minutes, then turn them out onto a cooling rack and cool completely.





Place 1 layer, flat side up, on a flat plate or cake pedestal. With a knife or offset spatula, spread the top with frosting. Place the second layer on top, rounded side up, and spread the frosting evenly on the top and sides of the cake.





Chocolate Frosting:


6 ounces good semisweet chocolate (recommended: Callebaut)


1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature


1 extra-large egg yolk, at room temperature


1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract


1 1/4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar


1 tablespoon instant coffee powder





Chop the chocolate and place it in a heat-proof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir until just melted and set aside until cooled to room temperature.





In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium-high speed until light yellow and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg yolk and vanilla and continue beating for 3 minutes. Turn the mixer to low, gradually add the confectioners' sugar, then beat at medium speed, scraping down the bowl as necessary, until smooth and creamy. Dissolve the coffee powder in 2 teaspoons of the hottest tap water. On low speed, add the chocolate and coffee to the butter mixture and mix until blended. Don't whip! Spread immediately on the cooled cake.

Chocolate Mousse Torte


This is the ultimate cake of cakes !!!! Takes a little time but very impressive !!





CAKE


3 foil wrapped bars (total 6 oz ) Semi-sweet chocolate baking bar


1 1/4 cup water, divided


2 1/4 cup flour


1 tsp baking soda


1/4 tsp salt


1 1/2 cup sugar


1/4 cup butter, softened


1/4 tsp vanilla


2 eggs





MOUSSE FILLING


1 foil wrapped bar ( 2 oz) Chcocolate semi- sweet baking bar


2 TBSP of sugar


1 1/2 cup heavy cream, divided





VIENNESE GLAZE


4 foil wrapped bars ( 8 oz ) semi- sweet chocolate baking bar


2/3 cup heavy cream


3 TBSP powdered sugar


1/4 tsp vanilla





Cake


Preheat oven to 375


Combine over hot water ( not boiling)


3 baking bars and 1/4 cup water


Stir until bars are melted and mixture is smooth


Set aside


Combine flour, salt and baking soda


Set aside


Combine sugar, butter, and vanilla, beat well


Add eggs one at a time


Blend in chocolate mixture


Gradually add flour mixture with 1 cup of water


Spread into 4 greased 9 inch round pans





This will not take long to bake. Original recipe calls for 2 pans and then splitting cakes which is a crumby mess. The 4 pans is much quicker and makes a much nicer cake.





Cool cakes and remove form pans


Spread 3 of the layers with the mousse filling ,placing the 4th cake on top with no filling


A good idea is to put this i the refrigerater a few min, to set the filling before putting on the glaze


The glaze will set very fast and it will have a veery nice smooth look to it.





GLAZE


In med pan over low heat


Combine chocolate bars, heavey cream, and powdered sugar


Stir untill mixture is smooth


Add vanilla


Transfer to small bowl


Cool to room temp


Pour over cake





If I make this in the summer I like to get leaves like lilac ones, wash them and dry


Brush the top of the leaves in melted chocolate and put in freezer on wax paper to harden


Carefully peel off leave and place the 3 chocolate leaves in the center of the cake
Oh yes indeed do I ever!!!


I have made this recipe several times and named it ';totally -o- chocolate cake';... even though I make it into cupcakes. So good it'll give ya the big o... especially if you use the chocolate buttercream icing mentioned in the recipe...

Absolutely amazing - I can't say enough good things. Link includes recipe and pics too :)





Hope that helps!
For Mothers Day I made a chocolate cake with orange. Then covered with a dark chocolate ganache. It sounds hard but make a boxed cake, add orange zest to the batter, the ganache is heavy cream melted with dark chocolate chips. Let the ganache sit for 5 minutes then pour over the cake. It came out rich, moist, and flavorful.
