Coffee cake

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a delicious coffee cake? First, prepare the necessary ingredients for the test according to the list. Take the flour of the highest grade. Cocoa is also desirable of high quality, for example, a Golden label. Low-quality cocoa can crunch on the teeth. Vegetable oil should preferably be taken without taste or smell. I have corn.

2. Step 2:

   

   Sift the flour into a bowl. Add sugar, cocoa, soda and salt.

3. Step 3:

   

   Mix everything well with a whisk.

4. Step 4:

   

   In another bowl, combine eggs, warm coffee, milk, vegetable oil and vanilla extract. Beat everything with a mixer until fluffy. A lush air foam should appear on the surface.

5. Step 5:

   

   Pour the beaten eggs into the flour mixture and mix with a whisk until smooth. The dough will turn out liquid with a lot of air bubbles.

6. Step 6:

   

   Spread the dough into two identical shapes (Ø 23-25 cm), lined with parchment. It is advisable to take non-detachable forms, since the dough can leak out of them. If you take smaller diameter molds, the cake will be even higher.

7. Step 7:

   

   Put the molds in a preheated 180 ° C oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the toothpick is dry. It is better not to open the door for the first 15-20 minutes. It is important not to over-dry the cakes.They should be elastic and slightly moist. If your molds don't fit in the oven at the same time or you only have one mold, like mine, it's okay. You can bake cakes in turn. The dough will not become less airy from this. My second cake rose even better than the first.

8. Step 8:

   

   First leave the finished cakes to cool in the molds for 10 minutes. Then remove from the mold and cool completely. If necessary, trim the cakes.

10. Step 9:

    

    While the cakes are cooling, prepare the cream. Butter should be at room temperature, so take it out of the refrigerator in advance. Vanilla flavor can be replaced with 1.5 tbsp vanilla sugar

11. Step 10:

    

    Break the chocolate into pieces, melt and cool to room temperature.

12. Step 11:

    

    In a bowl, whisk the soft butter until fluffy.

13. Step 12:

    

    Add powdered sugar and whisk for another 2 minutes until the mass is lightened.

14. Step 13:

    

    Add the melted chocolate, continuing to beat the cream at low speed. You should get a smooth, lush mass.

15. Step 14:

    

    Put the bottom cake on the dish and smear it with part of the cream.

16. Step 15:

    

    Cover with a second cake and also smear with cream. Also smear the sides of the cake with cream.

17. Step 16:

    

    Transfer the remaining cream into a pastry bag with a nozzle "closed star" and make roses on top. Remove the cake for 1-2 hours in the refrigerator so that it is infused and soaked. Bon appetit!
