How to Make The Ultimate Matilda Chocolate Cake
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F and prepare three 8-inch round cake pans by greasing them or lining them with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and salt until there are no lumps.
- Blend Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the eggs, vegetable oil, buttermilk, and sour cream. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture, then add cocoa powder mixed with instant coffee and boiling water. Fold until just combined.
- Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans and bake for 22-24 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
- Prepare Frosting: Melt dark chocolate with corn syrup until smooth. Beat together cream cheese, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and salt, then fold in whipped heavy cream and melted chocolate.
- Assemble the Cake: Layer the cakes with frosting in between, apply a crumb coat, and chill briefly before applying the remaining frosting.
Notes
Serve with vanilla ice cream or fresh berries for added delight.
