Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, plus more for pan
1 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled), plus more for pan
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
Chocolate Icing for Easy Chocolate-Peppermint Cake
Whipped Cream, for serving (optional)
Chocolate shavings or crushed peppermint candies, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour an 8-inch round cake pan; line bottom with parchment or waxed paper. Whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring 2 inches water to a boil. Place butter and chocolate in a large heatproof bowl; set over (not in) water. Turn off heat; let stand until melted, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir to combine. Remove bowl; cool 5 minutes.
  • Whisk in sugar and vanilla, then eggs and buttermilk until combined. Fold in flour mixture until combined.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake until cake pulls away from sides and a toothpick inserted in center has a few moist crumbs clinging to it, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Cool in pan 5 minutes. Run a knife around edge of cake; invert onto a wire rack (and leave inverted) to cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Set cake on a serving platter. Tuck parchment or waxed paper under sides of cake. Pour chocolate icing onto center of cake and spread evenly over top and sides. Let set, about 40 minutes. Serve cake with whipped cream and chocolate shavings or peppermint candies, if desired.

CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH PEPPERMINT FROSTING



Chocolate Cake With Peppermint Frosting image

Dutch-process cocoa and a bit of espresso powder give this simple one-bowl cake deep chocolate flavor without much effort. The generous swoop of fluffy peppermint buttercream frosting makes it a festive treat. A bit of optional red food coloring gives the frosting those classic peppermint candy stripes, and you can dress the cake up even more with sprinkles and shaved chocolate for a special occasion. The oil in the cake makes it extra moist, and it keeps well on the counter for a few days - if it lasts that long.

Time 1h

Yield One 8-by-8-inch square or 9-inch round cake

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/2 cup/105 grams grapeseed or other neutral oil, plus more for pan
1 1/4 cups/250 grams granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 (8-ounce/227-gram) container sour cream
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
3/4 cup/68 grams Dutch process cocoa powder, sifted if lumpy
1 cup/128 grams all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
1/4 cup/55 grams hot water
1/2 cup/113 grams unsalted butter, softened
2 cups/200 grams sifted confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons heavy cream or milk, plus more if needed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract, plus more if desired
Pinch kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
Red gel food coloring (optional)
Shaved chocolate and sprinkles, for decorating (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Set a rack in the center of the oven and heat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease an 8-by-8-inch square or 9-inch round light-colored metal baking pan with oil.
  • In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar and eggs. Use a whisk or an electric mixer to beat the mixture until foamy and slightly lighter in texture and color, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the sour cream, 1/2 cup oil, vanilla and salt, and whisk until combined and smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Whisk in the cocoa powder until combined. Add the flour, baking powder and baking soda, and whisk until combined and no streaks of flour remain. Stir the espresso powder into the hot water, then add the mixture to the bowl. Whisk until incorporated.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and tap on the counter a few times to release any large air bubbles. Bake until puffed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan set on a rack for about 45 minutes.
  • While the cake bakes, clean the mixing bowl and make the frosting: Add the butter to the bowl and mix on medium-high with an electric mixer until smooth, stopping the mixer occasionally to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl. Turn the speed to low, and slowly add the confectioners' sugar. Mix until the sugar is moistened, then add 2 teaspoons of the cream, the vanilla extract, 3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract and salt. Turn the speed up to medium-high, and whip until smooth and fluffy, about 3 minutes, adding a bit more cream a teaspoon at a time, if necessary, to make a smooth and light frosting. Taste the frosting, and add a few more drops of peppermint extract if desired. The frosting can be kept at room temperature while the cake finishes baking and cooling.
  • Top the cooled cake with an even layer of frosting, then use the tip of a toothpick to dot the frosting with a few small dots of gel food coloring, if using. Use a spoon or offset spatula to swirl the food coloring into the frosting to create candy cane-like stripes - just a few swipes will do the trick. If you mix it in too much, the frosting will turn pink. Top the cake with sprinkles and shaved chocolate, if desired. Store leftover cake loosely covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
