Ultimate Homemade Chocolate Cake might seem like a bold statement. So if you are doubting this statement, then just give it a try. I have tried recipe after recipe for years now for chocolate cake. I was getting so frustrated because no matter what recipe or technique I used, the cakes were always lacking. I started wondering if making the Ultimate Homemade Chocolate Cake was even possible.
Chocolate Cake has always been on my food bucket list. I always dreamed of making a chocolate cake that I could make for my kids for their birthday or special occasions. When my kids are older and have families of their own, I want a chocolate cake recipe that they will beg me to make when they come over for Sunday dinner.
An amazing slice of chocolate cake is hard to come by. One of the places I know I can get an amazing slice of chocolate cake is at the Cheesecake Factory. If you have ever had a slice of their Chocolate Tower Cake, you know what I mean. It’s a fluffy and moist chocolate cake that is layered with a smooth truffle like chocolate frosting. Every time I am in the vicinity of a Cheesecake Factory, it’s a given that I have to stop and buy a slice. The slice of cake is huge, so I always have to share it with a few people.
When I set out to create my own Ultimate Homemade Chocolate Cake recipe, the Cheesecake Factory Chocolate Tower Cake was what I was aiming for. I am excited to say that after many, many, attempts I have finally figured out a recipe that tastes just like the Chocolate Tower Cake.
I do need to thank my neighbor and friend Trista for helping me with this recipe. Trista owned and operated a local cupcake shop called Cupcake Chic for years. Every time I tested a different version of this cake, I took some over to her so she could give me her expert opinion. She gave me lots of helpful tips that played a big part in this cake recipe. Thanks Trista!
Ultimate Homemade Chocolate Cake
1 3/4 cups of granulated sugar
1 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cup of dutch processed cocoa
1 1/2 tsp. of baking powder
1/4 tsp. of baking soda
1 tsp. of salt
2 eggs, at room temp.
1 cup of milk, at room temp.
1 /2 cup of canola oil
1 tbsp. of vanilla
3 tbsp. of sour cream
1 cup of hot coffee
Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
Mix all the dry ingredients together in bowl. In another large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, oil, vanilla, and sour cream together.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix on medium speed for 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Add the hot coffee to the cake batter and mix in by hand until well combined.
Pour the batter into the well greased pan/pans and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few crumbs attached. *baking time depends on the pan you use.
-For Layer Cake- use three 9 inch pans- bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few crumbs attached. Cool cake in pans for 10 minutes, then turn pans over on a cooling rack and cool completely. Frost cake with chocolate truffle frosting. * I double the frosting recipe when making a layer cake.
