One Bowl Chocolate Cake
I love, love, LOVE chocolate cake! I can never decline a slice of heavenly chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. But when I’m in need of a chocolate fix stat, I will rely on this trusty and easy one bowl chocolate cake recipe.
Using coffee to enhance chocolate cake flavor
Using cocoa powder to make chocolate cake is obviously a must but you may not know the easiest baker’s trick to enhance chocolate flavor is actually coffee. Just half a cup of coffee is needed for this recipe. Brew your coffee and set it aside to cool for about 15 minutes to half an hour.
How to ensure you don’t curdle the egg with hot coffee?
The correct way to make the cake batter would be to allow the coffee to cool all the way to room temperature. But I can be impatient when I need a chocolate fix. So if the coffee is still a little warm, here’s what I’d do:
Mix the warm coffee with the cold buttermilk first to further cool the coffee down. Then add in the vegetable oil and whisk to combine, by this time the temperature should be cool enough to safely add the egg. Check by touching the side of the bowl. Now beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
How to make one bowl chocolate cake
Chocolate ganache topping
Chocolate ganache is super versatile. It’s made with equal parts of cream and chocolate. It’s super easy and adds another chocolaty dimension to this one bowl chocolate cake. For this recipe, I just use the ganache as is and pour it over the top of the cake. It will set pretty solid once cooled.
Another way to use it is to whip the ganache to make it fluffier and more like a chocolate frosting before you spread it over the cake.
Storing leftover chocolate cake
You can leave this cake on the counter, at room temperature, covered, for a couple of days. Or store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. It will stay moist and delicious for days.
