Best Chocolate Cake
Looking for the Best Chocolate Cake!!!!?
Hi,I am looking for the best Chocolate Cake. It is for my husband’s birthday, and I want it to be special. I know he likes mocha, and also flourless chocolate Cakes, but am open to anything. Most of all, I want it to have a gourmet taste, great texture, and a rich, deep (think dark, not milky) chocolate flavor that just wows you. Any recipes that you have tried that really wow? Thanks so much in advance!!! Brittany
Gooey, Decadent Chocolate Cake
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups cake flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups sugar
3 1/2 ounces semisweet or bittersweet Dark Chocolate, melted and cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups cold water
Chambourd raspberry liqueur, for drizzling
Chocolate Chip Butter Cream, recipe follows
Dark chocolate shavings, for decoration
Prep:
Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy. Add the cooled chocolate and vanilla and beat for 3 minutes to incorporate. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat for another 3 minutes. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients in 3 batches, alternating with the cold water. Beat for 1 minute after each addition to incorporate the ingredients. Mix until the batter is smooth.
Coat 2 (9-inch) round cake pans with non-stick cooking spray. Cut 2 circles of parchment paper to fit the pan bottoms and place them inside the pans; then spray the paper for added non-stick insurance. Pour batter into the prepared pans and smooth the surface with a spatula; the pans should be 2/3 full. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, see Cook’s note*.
Leave to cool for 40 minutes. Turn the cakes out of the pans and remove the paper. Drizzle them with a few tablespoons of Chambourd. With a metal spatula, spread 1/2 cup butter cream on top 1 of the layers. Start in the center and work your way out. Carefully place the second layer on top. Smooth the sides with butter cream, then spread the rest over the top so that The Cake is completely covered. Refrigerate for 5 minutes before decorating or cutting.
With a large knife scrape some shavings from a block of dark chocolate. Scatter shavings over cake.
*Cook’s note. The cake is cooked when a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean and the cake springs back when touched
Chocolate Chip Butter Cream:
3 cups powdered sugar
7 tablespoons hot water
4 ounces dark chocolate, melted and cooled
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup semisweet dark chocolate, finely chopped
In the bowl of an electric mixer, dissolve the sugar and water at low speed. Beat in the dark chocolate and vanilla. Add butter gradually in small bits. Mix until everything is completely incorporated. Using a spatula, fold in the chopped chocolate and give a final quick spin.
Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Best Picture Ariel Award Winners: Like Water for Chocolate, Amores Perros, El Callej n de Los Milagros, Temporada de Patos $8.96 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Like Water for Chocolate is a 1992 film based on the popular novel, published in 1989 by first-time Mexican novelist Laura Esquivel. It earned all 11 Ariel awards of the Mexican Academy of Motion Pictures, including the Ariel Award for Best Picture, and became the highest grossing Spanish-language films ever released in the United States at the time. Like Water For Chocolate is a love story that takes place in Mexico in the era of the Mexican Revolution. The main character Tita de la Garza, the novel’s protagonist, and Pedro, the lifelong object of her love, fall in love at a young age. When he is of age, Pedro and his father come to ask if Pedro can have Titas hand in marriage. Tita’s mother, Mama Elena, refuses. The de la Garza family tradition demands that the youngest daughter must remain unmarried and take care of her mother until death. Mama Elena offers Rosauras hand instead because she is the eldest child. Pedro accepts, to the disappointment of his father, in order to be closer to Tita. Even after Pedro accepts Rosaura, Mama Elena keeps a close watch on her. When Tita finds an excuse to not attend Rosaura’s engagement party, Mama Elena forces Tita to prepare the wedding banquet as punishment. But Tita’s desire for Pedro is put into her cooking, and as the wedding guests eat the wedding cake, they are overcome by what the film calls an “Intoxication” which causes a longing for their true love. The wedding ends with all the guests crying and vomitting by the river. Even Mama Elena unlocks a box holding a photograph of a man who is not her late husband. One year passes and Pedro gives a bouquet of roses to Tita “in honor of being head chef”. Mama Elena demands that Tita throw the roses out, but Tita, with her passion and love ignited,… More: |

Bistro Cooking at Home $35 Bistro cooking—bold and full-flavored—is more like the best home cooking than restaurant fare, featuring slow-cooked stews, exquisitely roasted chickens, perfectly seared steaks, vibrant salads, fresh fruit tarts, and comforting custards. Now Gordon Hamersley of acclaimed Hamersley’s Bistro in Boston helps home cooks bring these classic dishes into their own kitchens.Bistro Cooking at Home offers a complete menu of versatile selections for cooks who crave sophisticated but easy-to-prepare comfort food. Many of the dishes allow for “walk-away cooking,” such as stews, roasts, or braises. And many of these same dishes taste best if prepared a day or two ahead, making entertaining foolproof. Although the accent is French, dishes such as hamburgers stuffed with blue cheese and Pear Cranberry Crumble reflect Gordon Hamersley’s all-American roots. Start a bistro meal at home with Hamersley’s classic Onion Soup au Gratin or signature Wild Mushroom and Roasted Garlic Sandwich. For a main course there is roast chicken (you can cook it ahead and reheat it under the broiler), New England Bouillabaisse with Rouille and Croutons, or Moroccan lamb shanks. Pasta, polenta, and risotto are given French finesse in dishes such as Lemon-Scented Risotto with Morels and Chives and Oven-Baked Penne with Onions, Walnuts, and Goat Cheese. The Savory Tarts, Gratins, and Galettes chapter holds such richly satisfying dishes as Portobello Mushroom and Roquefort Galette or Creamy Bistro Potato and Leek Gratin, each practically a meal in itself. Even vegetables are made exciting in dishes ranging from Roasted Artichokes with Garlic and Pancetta BreadCrumbs to Garlicky Mashed Potato Cakes. Bistro-inspired desserts include Maple Crème Brûlée, Profiteroles with Easy Chocolate Sauce, and a dense Chocolate Truffle Cake.All the main dishes are accompanied by knowledgeable, down-to-earth wine recommendations from Fiona |

More from Magnolia $27 Eight years ago, Alyssa Torey brought the comfort of grandma’s kitchen to New York City when she opened the Magnolia Bakery. Located on Bleecker and 11th, in the heart of Greenwich Village, it quickly became a popular destination; in the evening the line of people craving one of Magnolia’s world famous cupcakes or a cup of banana pudding extends down the block. The success of the bakery gave birth to The Magnolia Bakery Cookbook, written by Alyssa and her then-partner. Published by Simon & Schuster in 1999, it’s gone through 7 printings and has over 46,000 copies in print. Today the bakery is busier than ever (they sell about 15,000–yes, 15,000–cupcakes a week), and Alyssa has finally succumbed to the pressure to write a second book. In More From Magnolia Alyssa offers home cooks 75 of the bakery’s most requested recipes, discontinued treats, and favorite sweets from her own home kitchen. Craving Magnolia’s Red Velvet Cake or the decadently creamy Banana Pudding? Miss having a Raspberry Cream Cheese Breakfast Bun with your morning coffee? (The bakery had to discontinue all their breakfast items to keep up with the demand for cupcakes.) You’ll find those recipes here. Of course, there are the recipes for the Chocolate and Vanilla cupcakes and Buttercream Frosting, but you’ll also find Apple Cake with Butterscotch Cream Cheese Frosting, Devil’s Food Cake with Seven Minute Icing and Coconut, and Chocolate Pecan Pudding Pie. Not to mention Blueberry Coffee Cake with Vanilla Glaze, Pumpkin Walnut Cookies with Brown Butter Frosting, White Chocolate Pecan Bars, Nectarine Double Crust Pie, and Pumpkin Cheesecake with Gingersnap Pecan Crust. There are even recipes for Magnolia’s best-loved ice creams. Whether you’re a regular visitor or just dream of making a pilgrimage, More from Magnolia brings the delights of the bakery to your very own kitchen. |

In The Most Decadent Diet Ever! Devin Alexander proves that even the most decadent dishes — Chipotle Chili with Blue Cheese Crumbles, “Fried” Jumbo Shrimp, Super-Stuffed Steak Soft Tacos, Fettu-Skinny Alfredo, Godiva Brownie Sundaes, and Chocolate Chip Pancakes — can lead to weight loss, good health, and carefree enjoyment. |

Pep Talks, Warnings, And Screeds: Indispensable Wisdom And Cautionary Advice For Writers $17.99 Toddlers – and drunks – bang around hitting walls, tables, chairs, the floor, and other people, trying to find their legs. Writing fiction is a similar process. Sometimes it might take a while before the story gets some balance and moves forward. Sometimes the story takes off as if motor-driven, then crashes into something not foreseen or expected. Learning to be a writer is all about finding your legs, and doing your best to convince onlookers that you know what you’re doing and where you’re going.In Pep Talks, Warnings & Screeds, acclaimed Southern story writer and novelist George Singleton serves up everything you ever need to know to become a real writer (meaning one who actually writes), in bite-sized aphorisms. It’s Nietzsche’s Beyond Good & Evil meets Anne Lamott’s Bird by Bird. It’s cough syrup that tastes like chocolate cake. In other words, don’t expect to get better unless you get a good dose of it, maybe two.Accompanied by more than fifty original full-color illustrations by novelist Daniel Wallace, these laugh-out-loud funny, candid, and surprisingly useful lessons will help you find your own writerly balance so you can continue to move forward. |

Pie in the Sky: Successful Baking at High Altitudes: 100 Cakes, Pies, Cookies, Breads, and Pastries Home-Tested for Baking at Sea Level, 3000, 5000, 7000, and 10,000 Feet (and Anywhere in Between) $29.99 Do your cakes collapse, soufflés slump, cookies crumble, and fruit pies fail? For those living at high altitude, baking can be a challenge at best, or a total disaster. More than thirty-four of the fifty United States, plus many Canadian regions, have cities and towns at altitudes of more than 2,500 feet, yet there are hardly any cookbooks that address the special needs of these local bakers. Until now. Award-winning cookbook author Susan G. Purdy has finally written the first-ever foolproof guide to high-altitude baking.Purdy has actually “gone there and done that,” staying as long as it took to bake these recipes to perfection at five different locations — and elevations — across thecountry. In Pie in the Sky, Purdy leaves behind old conversion tables, disproves many oft-repeated calculations and adjustments, and presents reliable recipes in their entirety for each altitude. She takes out the tinkering and guarantees success at any height.In addition, she explains the hows and whys, gives tips and hints for problems specific to every altitude, and generally demystifies the subject of atmospheric obstacles that cause favorite recipes to flop. Whether they live in the eastern mountains or the far west, in Boston, Massachusetts; Boone, North Carolina; or Santa Fe, New Mexico; home bakers as well as experienced chefs will love the wide range of easy-to-make treats including Mile-High Lemon Meringue Pie, Coconut Cake with Coconut Icing, Paradise Peak Chocolate Soufflé, Vail Lemon-Poppy Seed Loaf, Celestial Challah, and Sour Cream Streusel Coffee Cake.Every recipe was tested at sea level (Connecticut), 3,000 feet (North Carolina and Virginia), 5,000 feet (Idaho and Colorado), 7,000 feet (New Mexico), and 10,000 feet (Colorado) and can be used at these elevations or any points in between. |
