SWEET & SALTY CHOCOLATE CAKE



Sweet & Salty Chocolate Cake image

This is really a rich and decadent special occasion cake. It takes quite a bit of work to assemble but the results are worth it, especially if you like the combination of sweet & salty. The recipe is from "Baked Bakery" in New York City and was printed in their cookbook, "Baked: New Frontiers in Baking." You only need to use 1/2 cup of the prepared salted caramel for the cake (but don't worry, I'm sure you will find another use for the leftovers!).

Time 2h30m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 23

3/4 cup cocoa powder
2/3 cup sour cream
2 2/3 cups cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pans
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pans
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
fleur de sel, for garnish
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon fleur de sel
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/4 cup sour cream
1 lb dark chocolate, chopped (60-70% cacao)
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 cups unsalted butter, soft but cool, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • To prepare cake: Preheat oven to 325°. Butter three 8-inch round cake pans. Line the bottom of each with parchment paper, and butter the parchment. Dust with flour and knock out the excess.
  • Combine cocoa powder, hot water, and sour cream. Set aside to cool. Sift flour, baking power, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat butter and shortening on medium speed until ribbon-like, about 5 minutes. Add both sugars and beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat well after each addition. Add vanilla and mix well. Scrape down sides of bowl and mix again for 30 seconds. Add flour mixture, alternating with cocoa mixture, in three portions, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
  • Divide batter evenly among prepared pans and smooth the tops. Bake 35-40 minutes, rotating pans halfway through. Cakes are done when a toothpick inserted in the center of each cake comes out clean.
  • Cool cakes in pans for 20 minutes on wire racks. Remove from pans and let cool completely. Remove parchment paper.
  • To Prepare the Salted Caramel: In a small saucepan, combine cream and fleur de sel. Bring to a simmer over very low heat until salt has dissolved. Be careful not to let the cream burn.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine 1/4 cup water, sugar, and corn syrup, stirring carefully so as not to splash the sides of the pan. Cook over high heat about 6-8 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer reads 350°. Remove from heat and let cool for 1 minute.
  • Add cream mixture to sugar mixture. Whisk in sour cream. Let caramel cool to room temperature, then transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until time to assemble the cake.
  • To Prepare the Caramel Ganache: Put the chocolate in a large heatproof bowl and set aside.
  • Bring the cream to a simmer over very low heat. Make sure cream does not burn.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine 1/4 cup water, sugar, and corn syrup, stirring carefully so as not to splash the sides of the pan. Cook over high heat for 6-8 minutes until an instant-read thermometer reads 350°. Remove from heat and let caramel cool for 1 minute.
  • Add cream to the caramel. Stir slowly for 2 minutes. Then, pour caramel over chocolate. Let sit for 1 minute. Then, starting in the center of the bowl, and working out to the edges, slowly stir in a circle until chocolate is completely melted. Let cool, then transfer to the bowl of an electric mixer. Mix on low speed until the bowl feels cool to the touch. Increase speed to medium-high and gradually add butter, beating until thoroughly incorporated. Scrape down sides and beat on high speed until mixture is fluffy.
  • To Assemble the Cake: Place one cake layer on serving platter. Spread 1/4 cup caramel over the top, letting it soak into the cake. Spread 3/4 cup of ganache frosting over the caramel. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon fleur de sel over the frosting. Top with the second cake layer. Spread with frosting and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon fleur de sel. Top with the third cake layer. Spread with caramel. Crumb coat the cake and put cake in refrigerator for 15 minutes. Frost the sides and top with the remaining frosting. Garnish with a sprinkle of fleur de sel.
  • Cake will keep at room temperature (cool and humidity-free) for up to 3 days. May be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Allow cake to sit at room temperature for at least 2 hours before serving.

SWEET-AND-SALTY CAKE



Sweet-and-Salty Cake image

Categories     Cake     Sauce     Bake     Pastry

Yield makes one 3-layer 8-inch cake or one 2-layer 9-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 recipe Devil's Food Cake batter (page 98)
1 recipe Caramel Buttercream (page 159)
3 cups coarsely chopped chocolate-dipped pretzels
1 teaspoon fleur de sel or other flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Grease three 8-inch or two 9-inch round cake pans with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
  • Pour the Devil's Food Cake batter into the prepared pans and bake as directed.
  • While the cake layers are baking and cooling, prepare the Caramel Buttercream, if you have not already done so. Set it aside.
  • Once the cakes are at room temperature (or are out of the refrigerator or freezer, if prepared in advance), ice the cakes with the caramel icing, reserving some of the icing for decorating the cake (see Icing a Cake, page 14). Don't refrigerate the cake after finishing the final coat.
  • With the cake on cardboard, a turntable, or cake plate and working over a sheet of parchment or waxed paper to catch falling pretzels, gently press the chopped pretzels, a small handful at a time, into the sides of the cake until the sides are thoroughly coated.
  • Fit a pastry bag with a medium round tip and fill it with the remaining caramel icing. Pipe dots along the perimeter of the cake top (see Filling a Pastry Bag and Piping, page 11).
  • Lightly sprinkle fleur de sel over the tops of the piped dots. Inscribe the cake, if desired, and serve it immediately, or keep it refrigerated, covered or uncovered, for up to 3 days. Bring the cake back to room temperature for about 1 hour before serving.
  • Polish your look
  • For something slightly more traditional, leave out the pretzels and salt and instead drizzle Caramel Sauce (page 186) over the top of the cake for a pure chocolate-caramel combination.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for the pans
1 1/2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder, plus extra for the pans
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 large eggs, beaten
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon instant espresso
1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
3 cups confectioners' sugar
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/4 teaspoons flake salt

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the inside of two 9-inch round cake pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper and butter that as well. Dust with cocoa powder, being sure to tap out the excess. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the cocoa, flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl until there are no large lumps. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the eggs, melted butter, sour cream, instant espresso and 1 1/2 cups water. Slowly start to work everything together, adding the dry to the wet ingredients as you go until everything is combined and you have a smooth batter. Do not over mix. Divide evenly in the prepared cake pans and bake until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the pans. Unmold onto a wire rack and cool completely.
  • For the frosting: Beat the butter in a medium bowl on medium speed using a hand-held mixer until light and fluffy. Add the confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, heavy cream, vanilla and kosher salt and continue to beat on medium speed until light, fluffy and creamy.
  • Place one layer of cake on a plate or cake stand. Spread one-quarter of the frosting on the cake evenly all the way to the sides using a small offset spatula. Place the other layer of cake on top and press gently. Spoon the remaining frosting on top and spread evenly, pushing the frosting over the edge and spreading it around the sides. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Sprinkle the top evenly with the flake salt to serve.
