THE ULTIMATE CHOCOLATE CAKE
Servings: 12
INGREDIENTS
CAKE
1½ cups flour
1 cup Dutch processed cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
1½ teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
1½ cups stout
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon espresso powder
1 cup butter, softened
1½ cups sugar
3 eggs
½ cup mayonnaise
4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
BUTTERCREAM
1½ cups butter, softened
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
½ cup Dutch processed cocoa powder
5 cups powdered sugar
Fresh fruit, to decorate
PREPARATION
1. Preheat oven to 325˚F (160˚C).
2. Grease and line three 8-inch cake tins with parchment paper.
3. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
4. In a large glass measuring cup, combine the stout, vanilla, and espresso powder. Set aside.
5. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until it is light and fluffy, about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides occasionally to ensure all the ingredients are being evenly creamed together.
6. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
7. Add the mayonnaise and beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
8. Alternate adding the prepared dry and wet ingredients to the batter. Starting with about ⅓ of the dry ingredients, beat until incorporated. Then add ⅓ of the liquid ingredients, mixing until the batter comes together. Continue until all the wet and dry ingredients have been incorporated.
9. Using a rubber scraper, fold the dark chocolate chunks into the batter.
10. Distribute the batter evenly between the 3 prepared cake tins.
11. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
12. Place the cakes on a cooling rack and leave to cool for about 10-15 minutes, until the outside of the pan is cool enough to touch.
13. Once the cakes have cooled, loosen the edges using a butter knife. Then place a large plate over the tin and invert to release the cake from the pan. Remove the parchment paper from the bottom of the cake and slide the cake back onto the cooling rack to cool completely. Repeat for the remaining two layers.
14. While your cakes are cooling, prepare the buttercream.
15. In a large bowl, beat together the butter and vanilla.
16. Gradually add in the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and milk, continuously beating until all the ingredients have been incorporated and the frosting is light and fluffy.
17. Decorate to your liking.
18. Enjoy!

What nonalcoholic thing can I substitute for stout in this recipe?
Is there a non alcoholic substitute for stout ? Please
Here for everything except the mayo.
I decided to add normal milk and I used the same measurements as they did for the stout but . It won’t tast the same but if u don’t want to add stout I suggest using this . I also kept everything’s else the same . Also u can use normal coco if u don’t have Dutch coco . These changes will change the tast but it will still tast good
Chocolate mousse
We know damn well I can’t cook, Why am I even watching?..
hey. you rock dude… do you have some nice recipes for Malaysia? it is like a freaking oven itself… :D:D … and humidity…

Great tips!!! Super helpful
What can I use in replace of the Stout please?
What can you use instead of stout?
can i use anythin else other than stout?
I love the chef who does the 101s. She is the best that Tasty ever employed. I search for her vids. The others — meh.
For everyone freaking our about the mayonnaise.. it is basically eggs and vinegar. The acidity of the mayonnaise will result to a lighter cake. 🙂 Do not worry.
Your voice make me comfort
I wish there were a recipe in grams. How do you measure butter in cups? Cram everything in?
What is 1and a half cups of butter in grams??
Use avocado instead of Mayonnaise
sauerkraut in cake???
@tasty what can I use instead of stout cause I can't use it for religious reasons?
Mayonnaise!!! NO NO NO NO
