MAIDA HEATTER'S 86-PROOF CHOCOLATE CAKE



Maida Heatter's 86-Proof Chocolate Cake image

Chocolate lovers will enjoy this festive, spirited cake from Maida Heatter, the cookbook author and pastry chef. Rich with chocolate, coffee and bourbon (a full half cup!), it makes for a decadent dessert that's perfect for any grown-up celebration or holiday party. (This batter is very liquid, so Ms. Heatter calls for dusting the pan with fine bread crumbs. This guards against sticking better than flour, and we promise you won't notice them in the finished cake. If you don't have bread crumbs, you can use flour; just be generous and meticulous.)

Categories     cakes, dessert

Time 50m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup (approximately) fine dry bread crumbs
5 ounces unsweetened chocolate
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup instant espresso powder
Boiling water
Cold water
1/2 cup bourbon
1/2 pound unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
Additional bourbon (optional)
Confectioner's sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Adjust rack one-third up from bottom of the oven and preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter and dust the inside of a 9-inch bundt pan (called a minibundt pan), or any other fancy tube pan with a 10-cup capacity, with fine dry breadcrumbs. Invert the pan over a piece of paper and tap lightly to shake out excess crumbs. Set aside.
  • Place the chocolate in the top of a small double boiler over hot water on low heat. Cover and cook only until melted; then remove the top of the double boiler and set it aside, uncovered, to cool slightly. (You can also melt the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl, just keep a close eye on it.)
  • Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt and set aside.
  • In a two-cup measuring cup dissolve the coffee in a little boiling water. Add cold water to the 1 1/2 cup line. Add the bourbon. Set aside.
  • Cream the butter in the large bowl of an electric mixer. Add the vanilla and sugar and beat to mix well. Add the eggs one at a time, beating until smooth after each addition. Add the chocolate and beat until smooth.
  • Then, on low speed, alternately add the sifted dry ingredients in three additions with the liquids in two additions, adding the liquids very gradually to avoid splashing and scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula after each addition. Be sure to beat until smooth after each addition, especially after the last. It will be a thin mixture.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Rotate the pan a bit briskly, first in one direction, then in the other, to level the top. In a minibundt pan the batter will almost reach the top of the pan, but it will not run over and you will have a beautifully high cake.
  • Bake for one hour and 10 to 15 minutes. Test by inserting a cake tester in the middle of the cake and bake only until the tester comes out clean and dry.
  • Cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then cover with a rack and invert. Remove the pan, sprinkle the cake with a little optional bourbon, and leave the cake upside down on a rack to cool. Before serving, if you wish, sprinkle the top with confectioners' sugar through a fine strainer.

MAIDA HEATTER'S CHOCOLATE SOUFFLE CAKE



MAIDA HEATTER'S CHOCOLATE SOUFFLE CAKE image

Categories     Cake     Chocolate

Yield 8 people

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 oz. semisweet chocolate
8 oz. (2 sticks) unsalted butter
2 T vegetable oil
8 eggs, separated
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt

Steps:

  • Coarsley chop the chocolate and place in top of double boiler over hot water on moderate heat. Cut up butter and add it and the oil to the chocolate. Cover and cook until almost melted. Then stir or whist with a wire whisk until completely melted and smooth. Remove from hot water. In mixing bowl, stir yolks a bit with a wire whist just to mix. Then gradually, in a few additions, whisk about 1/2 of the hot chocolate mixture into the yolks. Then, off the heat, add the yolks to the remaining hot chocolate mixture and mix together (the mixture will thicken a bit as the hot chocolate mixture cooks the egg yolks). Add the sugar and vanilla and stir to mix. Set aside. In the large bowl of an electric mixer, add the salt to the egg whites and beat until the whites hold a point but are not stiff or dry. Fold a few large spoonfuls of whites into the chocolate mixture. Then add the chocolate mixture the the remaining whits and fold together gently, only until incorporated. Gently turn mixture into prepared bundt pan. Bake for 2-1/2 hours (okay if cake sinks in the middle while cooking). Remove from oven and, without waiting, cover cake with an inverted serving plate and turn over to remove cake. Serve while hot with cold whipped cream.

MAIDA HEATTER'S QUEEN MOTHER'S CAKE - THE BAKING WIZARD

From thebakingwizard.com
Estimated Reading Time 8 mins
  • To make the cake, toast the almond meal or flour in a heavy medium skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until golden brown and fragrant. You should get a lovely aroma of toasted almonds.
  • Adjust a rack one-third up in the oven and preheat oven to 375°F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9” x 3” springform pan and line the bottom with a round of baking-pan liner paper cut to fit.
  • Place the chocolate in a small saucepan. Heat about 1 inch of water in a medium skillet over moderate heat. When the water come to the simmer, set the saucepan in the skillet, cover loosely with a paper towel, and wait a few minutes until the chocolate is partially melted.
  • In a stand electric mixer beat the butter with the paddle attachment until soft and smooth. While beating on medium speed, gradually add 1/2 cup of the sugar (reserve the remaining 1⁄4 cup sugar) and the vanilla and beat to combine.
  • Now, the whites should be beaten in the mixer bowl. If you don’t have an additional bowl for the mixer, transfer the chocolate mixture to any other large bowl.
  • Beat the egg whites with the salt and lemon juice, starting on low speed and increasing it gradually. When the whites barely hold a soft shape, reduce the speed a bit and gradually add the remaining 1⁄4 cup sugar.
  • Stir a large spoonful of the whites into the chocolate batter to soften it a bit. Then, in three additions, very gently fold in the remaining whites. You’ll see traces of whites after the first two additions.
  • Bake for 20 minutes at 375° and then reduce temperature to 325° and continue to bake for an additional 30 minutes (total baking time is 50 minutes). Do not overbake; the cake should remain soft and moist in the center.
  • Wet and slightly wring out a folded towel and place it on a smooth surface. Remove the cake pan from the oven and place it on the wet towel. Let stand until tepid, 50 to 60 minutes.
  • Release and remove the sides of the pan (do not cut around the sides with a knife—it will make the rim of the cake messy). Now, let the cake stand until it is completely cool, or longer if you wish.
