Chocolate cake deluxe!

Jag tackar alla underbara läsare för den fantastiska responsen på tävlingen! Jag är helt imponerad av er, och av alla fina och snälla kommentarer! Passa på att vara med medans det finns fortfarande tid kvar.

Finns det något mer underbart än en hög, saftig tårtbit? Inte enligt mig iallafall!
Det här är ungefär den godaste chokladtårtan jag någonsin smakat. Tårtbottnen är riktigt saftig, och kommer helt klart bli mitt nya standardrecept på chokladbotten. Receptet är verkligen superenkelt, det är i princip bara att vispa ihop alla ingredienser!
Designen är inspirerad av Sweetapolita, min favorit-tårtblogg!

This is probably the best chocolate cake I have ever tasted. The cake came out incredibly moist and delicious! The best thing about it is that the recipe is so simple.
I have to give credit for the design of this cake to Sweetapolita, my favorite cake blog!

Chocolate cake
Makes three 20 cm or four 15 cm layers

Ingredients
•4 1/4 dl all purpose flour
•4 3/4 dl sugar
•1 1/4 dl cocoa powder
•1 tsp baking powder
•2 tsp baking soda
•2 large eggs
•2 1/2 dl strong coffee
•2 1/2 dl buttermilk
•1 1/4 dl vegetable oil
•1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 175 C (350 F). Prepare three 20 cm or four 15 cm pans with butter and flour. In a large mixing bowl, sift dry ingredients. Add remaning ingredients to bowl with the dry ingredients and mix for a few minutes. Pour the batter into pans and bake for about 30-35 minutes, rotating pans after 20 minutes. Let the pans cool for 15-20 minutes before inverting them onto a cooling rack. If you want to split your layers in half, put them in the freezer for 30 minutes before splitting.


Chocolate fudge frosting

•300 grams butter at room temperature
•5 dl powdered sugar
•1 dl cocoa powder
•200 grams dark chocolate, chips or chopped
•1 dl heavy whipping cream
•1 vanilla bean

Melt the chocolate in a heat proof bowl over a double boiler or in a microwave. Put aside and let cool to room temperature. Beat the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add cocoa powder and beat until combined. Add the melted and beat for another minute. Split the vanilla bean in half, scrape out the seeds and mix them with the cream (I like to do this because I think it brings out the vanilla flavor). Add the cream and beat until smooth.
