BEATTY'S CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter two 8-inch x 2-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.
• 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 COFFEE CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C. Line the bottom and the sides of two 8" (20cm) baking pans with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Cake: In a medium bowl combine flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder and stir to combine. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer fitted with a whisk or paddle attachment, beat oil, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla just until combined. Stir in dry ingredients to combine. Slowly mix in hot coffee until combined. The batter will be very thin. Divide the batter into the two prepared baking pans equally. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for about 20 minutes. Then remove from pan and transfer to a cooling rack. Let cool to room temperature.
• Frosting: In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat mascarpone on medium-high speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Sift in powdered sugar and mix until combined and smooth, about 1 minute. Add chilled coffee and mix until incorporated and smooth, about 1 minute. Add heavy cream and mix until creamy, about 1 minute.
• Assemble the cake: Cut a thin layer off the tops of your cakes to create a flat surface. Then cut each cake in half horizontally. Place one cake layer on a cake stand. Spread 1/4 of the frosting over the cake. Repeat two more times. Place last cake layer on top and lightly frost the outside and the sides of the cake with the remaining frosting. Chill at least 4 hours in the fridge or overnight.
• Ganache: Place chopped chocolate in a large heatproof bowl. Place heavy cream and corn syrup in another heatproof bowl and microwave until very hot, almost boiling for about 1-2 minutes. Pour over chocolate and let stand 1-2 minutes. Whisk until smooth, and the chocolate is completely melted. Let stand for about 10-15 minutes. Test the consistency of the glaze down the side of the bowl. It should drip. The longer it stands, the thicker it gets. If it is too firm, reheat it for a few seconds in the microwave. Once it has the desired consistency, it's ready to spoon on top of the cake.
• Remove cake from the fridge and spoon the glaze little by little around the edges and let it drip down the sided. Do this with a small spoon and do one drip at a time. Then spoon or pour the rest of the glaze on top of the cake (maybe you don't need all of it) and level with an offset spatula. Place cake in the fridge for 15 minutes so that the ganache sets. Then serve. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

• Divide the spoon the chocolate coffee cake batter into the two lined and greased cake pans. Place the pans in the middle rack of the oven and bake for about 40 minutes until the when the tester when inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Once the cake is baked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely. If you dont plan to use the frosting, then you can cut the Chocolate Coffee Cakeand serve immediately.
• If you plan to use the frosting, then you must allow the cake to cool for atleast 5 to 6 hours. I personally like to do the frosting the next day, as no crumbs will stick to the frosting and the cake will come out clean and beautiful.
• You can proceed to make the frosting the same day you bake the cake. Wrap the cake well in foil and place it in the refrigerator and refrigerate your frosting as well. And the next day, apply the chilled frosting to your cake and the cake will be ready for serving.
• Dissolve the coffee powder in warm water and allow it to cool completely and keep aside.
• Place the chopped chocolate in a sauce pan and place it over another bowl of set simmering water. This is the double boiler method of melting chocolate, so the chocolate does not get over heated and melts evenly. Keep stirring the melted chocolate until the chocolate is smooth and creamy. Once melted take it out of the double boiler and allow it to cool compeltely.
• In the bowl of an the stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, add in the butter and start whisking the butter until light and fluffy.
• Next add in the vanilla and the dissolved coffee and gradually keep adding the icing sugar. Continue to whisk on medium speed, scraping the sides of the bowl as and when necessary. Finally once the butter is creamy, gradually add in the cooled and melted chocolate sauce and whisk until well combined. Dont over beat.
• Get your serving tray in which you want to serve your cake. Place one of the cakes with its flat side (bottom side) facing up. With a knife or offset spatula spread the butter cream frosting on the top of the flat side of the cake.
• Next place the second cake on top with its flat side down (bottom side) and rounded side facing up. Give it a gentle press and then apply the frosting on the top and all sides of the cake evenly.
• Dont worry if your frosting is not looking neatly finished. A great way to make a frosting look good is to give it a few spikes with the knife and you will be surprised that it will look completely professional.
• Serve Chocolate Coffee Cake Recipe with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting for birthday parties or even as a tea time snack.
