ULTRA MOIST CHOCOLATE CAKE

I found this recipe over 10 years ago on a drecipetiquette blog where it was contributed by Noor Hannah. Ever since that time it is my go-to recipe when I want to make a super moist chocolate cake.

It has rich chocolate flavor coming from cocoa, enhanced with coffee powder. The original recipe also calls for chocolate or coffee or orange or lemon paste/oil which I didn’t have so I just increased amounts of coffee and vanilla flavor.

The author says this cake can be either baked or steamed. I tried and liked both versions. Baked cake is like extra moist, light and airy sponge cake, while steamed one is even softer, fudgy and almost pudding-like.


While making the cake for this blog post, I had some mishappening. When I started mixing butter with sugar, my mixer broke down. I tried to mix by hand, but it didn’t turn out as fluffy as it should. This is why the texture of the cake was not as nice as it usually is.

Ingredients

  • 170 g (6 oz) butter, room temperature
  • 397 g (14 oz; about 2 cups*) caster sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 198 ml (7 oz) cold water (from the fridge)
  • INGREDIENTS A
  • 1 1/2 tsp NESCAFE coffee powder
  • 1 tsp hot water
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • INGREDIENTS B
  • 226 g (8 oz; about 2 cups*) plain flour
  • 64 g (2 1/4 oz; about 2/3 cup* + 2 Tbsp) cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt


Instructions

  1. Mix butter and sugar with electric mixer until pale and fluffy.
  2. Add one by one egg, mixing well after each addition.
  3. In a small bowl, mix all Ingredients A. Add them to butter and egg mixture mix well.
  4. Sift together Ingredients B. Fold them into the batter using a spoon or spatula.
  5. Add cold water and stir in slowly until smooth.
  6. Pour the batter in a greased 9 inch pan. Bake in 170 C (338 F) preheated regular oven for 50 – 60 minutes, or about 45 minutes in a fan oven. You can also steam the cake covered with aluminum foil for 1 1/2 hour.

Recipe Notes
*I say "about" because my measurements differ somewhat from measuring tables one can find on the internet. I measured ingredients in grams, then transferred them to a measuring cups. This is the amount  I've got.
