Thank you eight thousand times. Did I let it get too cool before I used it? The baking time was about 35 minutes, all told. my unofficially sanctioned comment is that you probably are overbaking. I used Hersey’s special blend cocoa (dutch and natural) and added some instant espresso powder into the milk. You’re not at a higher elevation, are you? while at target i found star sprinkles for a buck as part of an easter baking end cap display. I must admit, we had already finished off your raspberry buttermilk cake over the weekend, so the birthday boy got two cakes this year! I’m making this for my book club tonight and wanted to time it so I could ice the thing and then hop in the car and head out, only my icing is not fluffy but oily!!! The cake came out fine, but the batter was just that — pourable “batter,” not the spreadable, brownie batter-like kind in your photo. :). I was quite alarmed that the cake would be dry and sawdusty when I brought it to my co-workers. I just made this with gluten free 1:1 replacement flour for a friend for her birthday and it was so good and so moist. When I had a piece I cut some cake, scooped out some frosting and let it sitto warm and frosted the squares individually before eating. That said, measuring cup sets vary a little; they’re an imperfect measurement. Could I make the frosting a raspberry buttercream by putting in raspberry purée instead of chocolate? @Anna #216, I had to bake mine almost 20 extra minutes even though my thermometer read 360*F. I did use an 8″ round instead of square, and it was nonstick. I decreased the icing sugar and added a titch of cocoa to compensate. But since I have been paleo for two years now, I find almond-flour baked goods much more fulfilling than wheat flour goods. Two thumbs up. I made it on Saturday with my 5 year old and it was a huge success among adults and kids alike. Mazel Tov on your happy news, and thanks again for your indispensable Smittenkitchen! Quick question! My question with brown butter in baked goods is always the same: can you taste it? This one is almost brownie-like (especially on day 2) but definitely still cakey and has a great chocolate flavor. Beautiful Deb! I’ve made this recipe so many times- just wanted to share that it makes perfect cupcakes too! SOS i have my boyfriends bday coming up and I know thats what he’d love! Really! This one looks just absolutely perfect! I’ve doubled the recipe and it’s currently in the oven in a 9×13. Letting the batter sit hasn’t been a problem for me. Thanks in advance! I never found it, and was too lazy to try to make it (i’m never satisfied with my own baked goods anyway). For anyone who, like me, likes their frosting darker chocolate-y and less sweet, I melted an additional 1 oz of unsweetened baking chocolate and added that to the frosting. And eat it too.!! Verrrry interesting!!! Was that the culprit?!? So, tomorrow is my birthday, and I’m already planning to make David Lebovitz’s salted butterscotch pudding, BUT we are also getting a decent snowstorm, so I think the weekend might require this chocolate cake as well! Nope, way too dry so I added an extra Tablespoon or so of heavy cream. (One bag frozen berries, thawed, cooked in a small saucepan until they make a thick sauce, with a little bit of vanilla and grand marnier, just because). I used golden brown sugar and non-Dutch cocoa powder because I had them on hand. Or maybe get one of these? I want to make this my go to chocolate cake recipe. I think SmittenKitchen is AT LEAST 10% of the reason why my fiance proposed to me. And so easy in the food processor – a first for me! I made this using the yogurt substitute and it was so incredibly moist. I’m a long time listener, first time commenter. Really love this recipe!!! and we’re talking been on the counter for days. Holy stinkin’ cow this cake is GOOD! 1.5 Years Ago: Key Lime Popsicles (still a favorite!) The frosting is delicious too! I like a center filled with frosting, which is one reason I have never been enamored of cupcakes either. Allyson — No reason at all to pack before weighing; packing won’t affect weight. I should have listened to your original notes and checked it a few minutes sooner – it was a tad dry, which was completely my fault. Thanks for sharing! I feel like something went wrong because it shouldn’t seem heavy; rich with chocolate and not terribly sweet, yes, but I make it for almost every birthday layer cake and it’s always just delightfully tender and moist, especially, like most cakes, on day two. Thank you for the recipe and inspiration. I’m curious, though, is there no formatting to just see the recipe for printing or just to simplify viewing while trying to make. Just made this with my gluten free flour blend. It’s expensive and I wouldn’t encourage anyone to seek it out (I tend to price it out online, buy it in bulk and split it with baker friends) unless they’ve tried it and, like me, found it impossible to buy anything else after that. If you want to make the chocolate sheet cake ahead of time, you can definitely do that! Must purchase metal 8×8 pan ASAP. Thanks and happy early Mother’s Day to you! I will keep this one in the mental file folder for sure. I’m sorry if all this compare and contrast reminds you of high-school essays (eek!) I have to say, however, that the part about cutting it into 16 pieces made us laugh and laugh and laugh! (Isn’t that the whole point of cake anyway?). Is it supposed to be like that? thank you! Because, like I said this has got to be the most moist chocolate cake I’ve ever had. Making your classic brown butter cake for a last minute wedding this weekend was thinking of using this for the bottom middle layer. I asked him if we wanted to make the small cake or double it for leftovers and he looked at me like I had 2 heads. Preheat oven and grease loaf pan. Try shortening the bake time and then decide. You said in your email today that any 8″ cake recipe could be halved and made in a 6″ pan, which I would love to do- except when your chocolate cake calls for one egg yolk and one whole egg, how do I halve that? (I’m an exile from New Mexico living in Vermont and I need my chilies.) I just asked my boyfriend what chocolate afternoon snack should I have today? Like eat-one-square-in-two-bites perfect. I did not double the cake this time, I just baked it in an 8×8, but I have before to make a layered sheet cake.). I dont want to waste the leftover buttermilk so I will make it again & freeze it so I have one ready for easy entertaining! Make the perfect cake with help from recipe reviews and videos. However I am making this cake today with all my substitutes!! I made it in a regular cupcake pan. It was DELICIOUS! I fell in love making it after my grandmother shared the recipe with me. when I suddenly NEEDED brownies, so I feel you on this! rounds. Next time, I’ll add those adorable confetti sprinkles! I used a whisk to mix the not really lumpy cocoa. You’ll want the full yield of frosting for each layer, especially if you’re covering the sides. :-O. That’s what I get for making frosting while trying to watch the Downton Abbey finale. The frosting was a bit sweet for us, next time I will use less sugar and add some espresso powder. kids loved it and so did parents who couldn’t stop having seconds. This is my husband’s birthday cake today! Small serving is more than enough. Two of them (one spare…) were slightly bigger than the others, but not that much. Even the kiddies liked it! Baked for 30 mins. I agree that a salad dressings index would be great. Thanks. It’s the perfect cake size for our family of 3. How this the cake so fudgy and the icing so irresistibly fluffy? Will try a better quality cocoa powder next time tho I used Ghiradelli. I’ve made it twice in the last few weeks. This will be my ‘go to’ chocolate cake recipe! Because of you, my family eats cabbage/slaw, fritters, and more vegetarian. I am having trouble printing the recipe. I used the alternative to buttermilk she mentions and used 1/2 cup strong coffee and 1/4 cup whole fat Greek yogurt (though doubled in my case, and the cake was deeply chocolatey and moist. Hmm…. 2.5 Years Ago: Leek Chard and Corn Flatbread Question: Do you have an opinion on buttercreams that use melted chocolate vs cocoa powder? Soft and moist. I literally said 2 minutes ago “I think we will just have leftovers for dinner, but I could really use a chocolate cake”… Fate brought me and this recipe together! Jennie. Your writing is awesome, the photos are perfectly approachable and I love the process photos. Do you think I could add 1/4 cup cocoa powder and decrease the powdered sugar to 1 cup in the frosting?
