    I made this cake and it's amazing, here are a few pointers for those who are interested:
    Substitutes for stout - sparkling water (for airier texture), water or milk
    For 3 6-inch cake tins half the batter
    For 3 10-inch tins times the batter by 1.5
    Check in the ingredients that the mayo you use doesn't have savoury elements like paprika, garlic or mustard seed that would ruin the flavour of the cake.
    If you're using extra strong espresso remove a little bit before using as the espresso will overpower the chocolate.
    I'd personally skip the chocolate chunks, it doesn't add anything to the cake and ruins the soft texture with random crunches.
    Chocolate swiss meringue buttercream is the best for this recipe, none of that super sweet American buttercream.
    Callebaut is an amazing and super rich chocolate powder to use, they do chocolate chips too (the 54% tastes amazing melted into the buttercream).
    I used simple syrup a couple of times doing this recipe and it just weighed down the cake and made it dense.
    Cake recipe in grams:
    180g - Flour
    120g - Dutch processed cocoa powder
    1tsp salt
    1.5tsp baking soda
    0.5tsp baking powder
    400ml milk
    1tbs vanilla
    1tbs espresso powder
    226g unsalted butter
    300g sugar
    3 eggs
    1/2 cup mayo
    Swiss meringue in grams:
    4 large egg whites
    300g caster sugar
    400g butter
    180g chocolate
    Hope this helps someone who wants to make this A M A Z I N G cake.

      @@jahninapamintuan1849 Everything needs to be halved if you want the same height layers as it is in the video which is about 2cm high. For a thicker layer for a 6 inch cake I would advise 3/4 batter which is as follow:
      135g flour
      90g cocoa
      3/4 tsp salt
      1tsp + pinch baking soda
      1/3 + pinch tsp baking powder

    This is the metric system version of the recipe:
    3 dl flour (185 g)
    2 dl Cacao paowder (120g)
    1 teaspoon of salt
    3 dl sugar
    1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    3,6 dl stout
    1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    1 tablespoon espresso powder
    230 g butter
    3 eggs
    1,20 dl mayo

    I made the cake exactly to the recipe for my friends birthday, it was fan.tas.tic. Everyone really enjoyed it. I did, however, change the icing because I’ve never been impressed by basic buttercream, the texture and balance is usually off. I made a chocolate cream cheese frosting, which is now also my ride or die choc frosting:
    12 oz cream cheese
    12 tbsp (3/4 cup) unsalted butter
    3 cups powdered sugar (more if desired)
    3/4 cup Dutch cocoa (also more if desired)
    1 tsp salt
    2 tsp vanilla
    1/2 tsp instant coffee or expresso powder
    (^this recipe will make exactly enough for this three layer cake)
    Cream butter + cream cheese. Sift in sugar + cocoa, fold in then mix. Add salt, vanilla, coffee and mix until smooth and silky.
    I also recommend adding a crumb coat when frosting your cake if you want it to look ultra profesh.
    (And warning: don’t eat too much. Your guts will thank you for having self control)

    for those of you who didn't want to use stout
    i made it with milk instead of stout i substituted it with
    (1 1/2 cup of milk + 1 teaspoon of instead coffee = stout ) then i added in the one tablespoon of instant coffee and vanilla
    i changed the butter cream and i just used whipped cream with chocolate sauce
    it turned out so goooood
    ( try it )
    when you add the chocolate chunks IT IS JUST AMAZING
    when you eat it you will get soft moist cake then a little crunk of the dark chocolate then that creamy smooth frosting ...... omg

    I made this cake 3 times now on 3 separate occasions. One of those times i made cupcakes instead and it came out just as good.
    1. I definitely did NOT taste the beer or coffee in the end so I’m uncertain why people have commented that.
    2. It is veeeeery rich so this cake will feed a lot of people. My husband loves chocolate and one small slice was plenty for him.
    3. The mayo did weird me out at first but it definitely brings a moisture into the cake i had never before achieved. So definitely don’t forgo it.
    Stick to the recipe and you’ll be more than happy with the results.

      Splendid Fangirl sweetheart, once alcohol is "cooked", its gone. it gives flavor but the effect is all evaporated. LOTS of food have alcohols and you dont even know it or taste it or feel it because it evaporates. BUT, if you're still adamant about using stout, you can always use a chocolate soda or drink.

    I made this cake today. The only issues were finding a Dutch processed cocoa powder that was dark enough to color the cake, and pulling out the parchment from underneath sort of pulled out a portion of the cake, but it was surprisingly fixable. It turned out EXACTLY like the video’s cake. You can definitely taste all the flavors of the ingredients. Originally I thought that the girl was being super extra with her “ journey of flavors “ but this cake was actually bomb because of all the ingredients. I thought too that it was too involved for a potentially lackluster output. It definitely was not. It is very balanced and actually VERY easy to follow!

Plus the recipe makes three individual cakes so it's not like all the sugar is going into one cake.

    This is the best chocolate cake ever that I made. Let me start by saying that I've been baking cakes since a long time by referring UA-cam videos but never ever has my cake turned out to be so soft, fluffy and delicious. I just followed the recipe and I added few variations in the cake as found in comments section below (which really helped me a lot).list of the variations that I did: 1) Instead of adding 1.5 cups of stout, I added 1 cup of stout(Guinness draught stout since it was written on the cover that it has hints of coffee and chocolate) and half cup of coffee decoction(I didn't have Instant coffee powder or espresso powder instead I had Indian filter coffee powder which I boiled with water for 5 min). 2) I used Hershey's Special dark cocoa powder instead of Dutch processed cocoa 3) I used Ghirardelli's semi sweet chocolate chips instead of dark Chocolate chunks. 4) I had 0.5 cup of extra sugar in the dry ingredients 5) Since I had a 9' cake tin, I baked 2 layers instead of 3. 6) For icing, I just used 1 cup of butter instead of 1.5 and 3 cups of sugar instead of 5. Just want to add a note that don't hesitate to add Mayonnaise coz as shown in the video, the mixture turns creamy as soon as you add it so it really adds a texture to the cake. Happy baking guys!!

    This is for anyone wanting to make cupcakes with this recipe (which I highly recommend). Make the cake batter the same way. The oven temp will be the same too. This makes a little more than 30 cupcakes, so you could half the recipe if you’d like less. Make sure not to overfill the cupcake liners as the cake needs a little room to rise (otherwise they’ll sink in the middle a little bit). I think a little less than 2/3 of the full is safe. Check them after 15-20 minutes. A toothpick should come out with moist crumbs. If it’s wet, give it a few more minutes. Hope this helps someone! :)

      The flavor won't be as decadent. When I tried it the coffee, stout and dark chocolate combo all made sense. It created a simple, decadent and not overly sweet cake. Better than anything I could've bought at a grocery store or bakery to be honest. I suppose there's no harm in trying. But maybe adjust the sugar. Milk chocolate tends to have a higher concentration of sugar than dark.

I didn't want three tiers, so I used half of the ingredients and baked a one layer cake in a 9 inch pan.

    Cake
    3/4 cup flour
    1/2 cup cocoa powder
    1/2 tsp salt
    3/4 tsp baking soda

    Chocolate cake is really my favorite. I've tried a lot of recipes and this is so far the best. I came across recipes with espresso powder and mayonaise but this is the first time i used stout. The stout for me is the game changer as it gave a deep flavor to the chocolate cake and i recommend not to omit or replace this. Im having problem though with the buttercream frosting as it always comes out grainy so i just replaced it with chocolate ganache and it still tastes good.

      This cake is already super moist, so if you do add any type of syrup/ extra liquid to your cake, do so in small amounts with some type of brush of squirt bottle. This is not a tres leches cake where all that liquid is going to be soaked up; if you poured everything on top like that, the cake would fall apart. Even then, I don't believe that any type of soaking would be need unless you plan on storing the cake in the fridge, which could then dry out the cake a bit.

    I made this cake a few days ago and it was amazing (my dad even said it was the best cake he's ever eaten)! But next time I will reduce the amount of stout, as you could definitely taste it in the finished cake. I also added a bit more cocoa powder and a bit less sugar in the buttercream since I thought it would be too sweet with that amount of sugar, it turned out perfect!

  • @worrystone4109
    @worrystone4109 4 роки тому +207

    OK, so i made this a few times now:
    1. i divided the recipe in half (used 2 eggs instead of 1.5), and used 2, 6" pans. if you're using 2, 6 inches like me, around 315g batter in each pan will work nicely
    2. i used 1/4 cup of sour cream + a little less than 1/4 cup mayo (again I divided the recipe in half)
    3. it domed. so I've realized that the shorter/ smaller the height of the pan is, the less likely it domes. (so i hv a 6x2in pan, and a 6x3in pan. the 6x3 domed a lot more than the 6x2. if you used 8in pans (that are like 8x1in) then your cake shouldn't dome basically at all).
    4. used chocolate swiss meringue buttercream (you don't need a lot of frosting, since I only did 2 layers. if you want, you can multiply this recipe by 2).
    *CHOCOLATE SWISS MERINGUE BUTTERCREAM RECIPE:*
    -1/4 cup egg whites
    -75g white sugar (or about 1/2 of 3/4) - you can add up to 100g (1/2 cup sugar), but no more than 1/2 cup
    - 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter (softened, but still kinda hard)
    -1/4 cup cocoa powder
    -optional splash of vanilla
    INSTRUCTIONS:
    1. whisk together egg whites + sugar over a double broiler
    2. wait till the egg white/sugar mix gets to 140F (60C).
    3. whip (use mixer) the eggs/sugar for around 10 min. (until the mix becomes thick and cool)
    4. proceed to add the butter in tablespoon sized pieces into egg whites
    5. keep whipping. YOU MUST ADD ALL THE BUTTER. incorporate the butter 1 piece at a time, mixing thoroughly in between
    6. add the vanilla + cocoa powder and keep whipping until fully incorporated.
    *note: this does not make a lot of buttercream. I found it was the perfect amount for 2, 6 inch cakes. if you are making the og recipe, please double this recipe. I don't advise using the american buttercream, since the cake would be far to sweet. i personally don't like to have super sweet stuff, so this cake is more chocolate than sugar*

    • @worrystone4109
      @worrystone4109 4 роки тому +2

      ​@@annienriquez_ using an 8 inch pan means it probably won't dome at all. 8 inch cakes are generally not cut in half (since they're so thin), but if u want really thin cake layers- you could try that? I would just use the recipe I provided above on 2, 8 inch pans (since when I used 6 inch pans, my cake layers were very thick).
      also, if you only have 1 , 8 inch pan- then i would recommend not cutting the cake in half and just smearing frosting on top.

      @worrystone4109 4 роки тому

      ​@@annienriquez_ but also idk if half the og recipe would even fit in a single 8 inch. you can try it? i think that if the batter hits nearly the top of the pan, u can probably cut it in half. Although be careful since your cake it going to need longer to cook.

    Made this cake today and it's pretty outstanding. I think it's a little too salty so I'd cut back on the salt in the future (by just a bit) but yeah, everything else seems just about right. I couldn't find dutch processed cocoa in my area so I used Hershey's special dark (which is half and half, dutch and natural) and it worked out just fine for me. Made a raspberry filling and a whipped cream frosting and yeah. Pretty darn amazing :) Totally recommend for anyone that is looking for a very rich and satisfying chocolate cake experience. I think it would make a great cake for Valentine's day or something too.
    edit: Made it for the second time today for a birthday. I made it with unsalted butter and skimped on the added salt and oh my gosh SO MUCH BETTER. Turned it into a 6 layer black forest gateau with chocolate mousse and whipped cream filling, and kirsch soaked cherries, and blueberries, and a chocolate ganache drizzle. Stunning.

      Yeah, even mustard will go unnoticed.

      Adjustable Wrench you can also put hot sauce if you want to. And, oh, the pickles.

    you can make these as cupcakes if you bake them in a cupcake tin at the same temp, but at 15-20 min. They`re delish!

    I made this cake today and it is truly the ultimate chocolate cake. I did not use the stout and substituted with milk because I forgot to pick up the beer. It was AMAZING, so rich and chocolatey and moist. Best chocolate cake and the first cake I've ever made that didnt come out of a box mix.

    Mayonnaise is the best! I have been using this recipe since I started getting serious about baking cakes. I already baked with this recipe more or less than 10 times without a stout and mayo. But recently, I decided to put mayo and the result is so mindblowing. The texture is so good. So moist and soft. I wonder about the taste if I try putting stout 🤔
