One-Bowl Chocolate Mint Cake
One 2-layer 9â³ cake
Deep, dark chocolate cake, layered around a rich and creamy filling, then glazed with sumptuous fudge glazeâwhatâs not to love? The hint of mint comes from a garnish of crushed peppermint candies or crumbled chocolate mint cookies (hello, Girl Scouts!), but you could also substitute a chocolate-covered espresso-bean garnish instead to make this a chocolate mocha cake. We recommend filling this cake with the Seven-Minute Frosting on page 345 and icing it with the Chocolate Glaze on page 348.
1¾ cups (343g) sugar
2¼ cups (270g) unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons (14g) cornstarch
¾ cup (64g) Dutch-process cocoa
¼ cup (35g) buttermilk powder*
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
¾ cup (170g) water*
½ cup (99g) vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup (227g) hot water
crushed peppermint candies or crumbled chocolate mint cookies, to garnish
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease and flour two 9Ⳡround cake pans.
To prepare the cake: In a large bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, cornstarch, cocoa, buttermilk powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the eggs, water, oil, and vanilla; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in the hot water; the batter will be thin. Pour the batter into the prepared pans.
Bake the cakes for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center of one comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the pans, then turn them out to cool completely on a rack.
To assemble the cake: Place 1 layer of cake, top side down, on a serving platter. Spread with the filling. Top with the remaining cake layer, also putting it top side down. Pour the Chocolate Glaze very slowly over the top of the cake. If the mixture is too thin and runs off, let it cool longer. Sprinkle the top with the crushed peppermint candy or chocolate mint cookies.
* If desired, substitute ¾ cup (170g) fresh buttermilk for the buttermilk powder and water.
