Devil's Food Chocolate Cake

Actually have seen this recipe for quite sometimes in Cik Ayu's blog (sama nama)..hehe..since then everytime, I see the chocolate ganache and the cream cheese frostingnya tu..telan my air liur..ajelah..intended to just keep the recipe for the next birthday cake, but I just cant tahan anymore ler!!!..So I made this yesterday, and today just left with 1 miserable slice for me!!..

This is definitely a highly recommened recipe according to Cik Ayu, she got this from her friend Edina, then Edina got it from The Kitchen Guardian ..thank you dear all  for this superb recipe!!!..We love it..only to take note that next time I would like to halved the cream cheese and chocolate ganache amount, kalau buat 2 adunan mungkin just nice..

Ingredients:-
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder-( Ayu used Valrhona cocoa powder)
3/4 tsp bicarbonate soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar-Ayu used 1/4 cup
1/2 brown sugar- Ayu used 1/4 cup
65g butter
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup buttermilk- (homemade 1 cup milk added with 1 tbsp distilled vinegar leave to rest for about 20 minutes, but use 1/4 cup only ya for this recipe)
1/2 cup warm water

Method:-
Set your oven at 170C
Prepare your cake tins.
Sieve flour, cocoa powder, bicarbonate soda, salt, and set aside.
Beat butter with sugars until light and fluffy, add eggs.
When all well incorporated add the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder etc) and alternate with liquid ingredients (buttermilk + warm water) in three portions, last incorporate the vanilla extract.
Bake for about 30 minutes or until just cooked

Cream Cheese Frosting-(make 1/2 the amount  next time)
250g Philadelphia cheese-(next time just use 1/2 this amount for the cream cheese)
125 butter
1 cup icing sugar-Ayu used 1/4 cup
1 tsp vanilla extract
juice of a squeezed slice of lemon
Beat the cheese and butter, just until creamy, add the icing sugar, vanilla and lemon juice.

Chocolate Ganache-(make 1/2 the amount next time)
200ml double cream with at least 30% fat content-I used whippping cream
250g dark chocolate, chopped finely
a pinch of salt
In a double boiler, warm the cream until just at boiling point, add the chocolate & salt and stir. When all the chocolate has melted, remove for heat and continue stirring until all well mixed.
Let the cake cool completely, spread the cream cheese frosting and pour the ganache on top.

Salam Kak Ayu, kak do i need to refrigerate the cake when i pour the cheese on top of the cake. same goes to the ganache.

Ayu said...

atie - alahai atie, akak baru perasan comment atie ni..sorry ya..silakan atie kalau nak mencuba tu ya..tq juga buat atie kerana sudi belek2 blog akak ni..hehe

Ayu said...

nazia - walkslm, nazia, you dont have to refrigerate the cake, but after putting the cream cheese then you put in the fridge kasi set the cream dulu baru senang nak tuang ganache tu..

nazia said...

ok sure.. thks kak ayu :)
