Ultimate Chocolate Cake 

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

+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.

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. :)

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 :')

+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..

it is in the chemicals shelf kid stop asking for every little thing

Alex French Guy Cooking there you are..

Oi mate!

Love your channel! it's been an inspiration to me

Alex French Guy Cooking Hey I love your channel I watched your bread and butter making vids and a they were amazing

Love your cooking 😊

chef! aw!! this was damn tasty looking...wanna eat it?!!

ChefSteps f

+ChefSteps how come you put syrup on the cakes?

+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.

+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...

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

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

+NatAnn64 +Nick Jeg

+NatAnn64 your comment reminds me of a vid where a guy fucks dough...

my pants unzipped while I was watching this.

Kai Yan Oh! how about - Master-baked-it

+NatAnn64 finishes with mouthgasms lol 😘

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

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

+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.

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

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

Omg XD

How many times have you watched the geoduck video 😂

+Marisa Ferina more than I'd like to admit actually

+acarijana oh god as soon as i finished reading this comment the music started playing, i lost my shit. 😂

Jasminé Skeen you're right...coffee intensifies the chocolate :)

Jasminé Skeen My thoughts exactly intense favor

How was it ?

Measurements?

Zaryab Zahra Just brew some coffee or make some instant coffee and substitute the hot water for coffee. Same measurement.

+Francis Valencia Try making a cake in your CrockPot first ;)

+Raeme Blanco >> I came here totally thinking they were going to do that. I was wondering how they'd sous vide a cake.

hhhhhh good one

they already made a sous vide carrot cake

+boy638 yeah, chocolate cake + coffee r good match!!

+boy638 That sounds great!

Oooooo yes!

It doesn’t affect the sweetness, promise :)

brilliant sub! I agree, simple syrup might be too sweet. Kahlua or another coffee liqueur would work. Maybe Cointreau or Framboise for a bit of interest, just go lightly with these.

+Brian Yu No, it was the chocolate.

+Brian Yu Yes

+Brian Yu Da Rude - Sandstorm

Lucas Hobbes Shows how much you know about sous vide. No boiling involved. Knowledge is power.

So tell us about it.

I would smash my face in to that cake too 🤤😂

+Issa Gonzalez Here you go Issa! www.chefsteps.com/activities/flourless-carrot-cake

+Jjsb94 TOTALLY agree. I dont get how people dont realize that baking in particular is about 95% chemistry and 5% application of heat :/ you need chemicals for chemistry

Even those are just monikers for chemicals. Baking soda is Sodium Bicarbonate, and Cream of Tartar is Potassium Bitartrate.

Exactly

+Nos2113 Sodium chloride 👌👌👌

pablo rodriguez you speak for all Europeans do you?

rainbow mama Sweetness shouldn't be overwhelming and while trying recipes I noticed that either Americans can just handle more sugar and fat or got used to an excessive use of it... haven't tried this recipe though so I won't judge

Did you use the glycerol?

@@lilyleung2237 no, I couldn't find it so I skipped it

@@lillithdv8 did you use canola oil or an alternative

@@gguktae3502 canola or any neutral flavoured oil. It makes it more moist

+Ron Burgundy I have had the same experience. I usually reduce the salt in their recipes before even trying them. In the cookies, i use 10 grams of salt instead of 15, and that is plenty.

+Ron Burgundy Salt makes chocolate taste less bitter.

BaileysBeads Very common knowledge in cooking, problem is they use too much.

Hey, can you tell me the measurements for the ingredients?

Look up Droste chocolate cake recipe. Very similar. The only secret to this and any moist cake is the sugar syrup. The recipe is no longer free, but when I made it, I used what was posted here. So I don't have the recipe anymore. Or use any chocolate cake recipe then.

can you please share the recipe?

When I made the cake the recipe was free. I did the recipe straight from this site when it was free. So I don't have the recipe anymore. But I made the recipe from droste cocao and it's very similar. The secret I found out for making any type of cake more moist is the sugar syrup. ---------------------------------------------- Chocolate Buttermilk Cake Makes 12 servings. 3/4 cup boiling water 3/4 cup Droste Cocoa 1 cup buttermilk 2 1/2 cups flour 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup butter, softened 2 cups sugar 4 eggs 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla *Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. -Grease and flour three 9 inch round layer cake pans.

there is pure cacao powder in it which is even better ( as chocolate is a mixture of cacao + milk + fat + sugar ... and the more % of cacao in it, the more expensive it is so i dont see any problem here calling it ultimate chocolate cake)

Chocolate cakes are always made with cocoa powder, some recipes do add chocolate

To make a good chocolate cake, you will need to add in melted chocolate. It just doesn't taste like chocolate if you only use cocoa.

He used cocoa powder, but he also used sugar and fats... thats the ingredients of chocolate. So he did use chocolate, just in a different form. Think before you make a cocky statement my friend.

The only thing melted chocolate's going to do is dry out your cake, idiot.

+PhatTrumpet2 That's a common myth, but the truth is that you need the cocoa butter for a cake that tastes like chocolate. Or are you trolling?

+RandomShitGaming You know this cocoa powder isn't like that you put in your child's milk ? 😂 It's real chocolate
