Today's in Mac's Cooking Lab
Chocolate Cake
Welcome to another episode of me complicating a simple recipe!
Chocolate cake is a simple and quick baking recipe. It's also easy for beginners to try. However today I was experimenting with over-complication ingredients that resulted in a moist and yummy chocolate cake.
Ingredients
- 300gr Flour
- 3 eggs
- 200 gr Dutch chocolate powder
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 100g mayonaise
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 100 gr butter
- 1 tbsp nescafe
- 250 gr sugar
- 200 ml water, you can replace it with stout
- 1/2 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp baking soda
Buttercream
- 100gr butter
- 2 tbsp Dutch chocolate powder
- 4 to 5 tbsp Powdered sugar
Mixer the sugar and the butter until it becomes creamy.
Add the dry ingredients (flour, chocolate powder, baking powder,baking soda, salt). Mix it slowly until the batter thickens. give it a taste and you can adjust the sugar.
Make sure to coat the surface well. Don't be surprised when it's dried out. It will caramelized and you can add whipped cream and sprinkled rainbow chocolate for finishing.
From this recipe I only miss stout. Stout combined with the instant coffee will make the batter even creamier. Also a note from me, don't fill the cake tray too full, it'll take too long for you to bake cake.
I was really in rush decorating the cake. Half angry-half in rush, I decorated the cake. So, that's why the whipped cream was not neat. After icing the cake, don't forget to refrigerate for 20 minutes before serving it.
The thing I learned from baking this cake was it's always best to prepare the ingredients before hand. Otherwise, the mess will be too much to handle.
Today there was a construction in our house. So, the house was like a broken ship and extremely messy. Added these cake mess, it was double messy that left me so exhausted.
Will I make this cake again? Maybe. I am planning to do sugar detox for a week since I think I consumed way too much sugar lately. But if you really love cake and sweets, that is the perfect recipe to try !
Let me know if you ever added mayo and stout to your chocolate cake.
Mayo in a chocolate cake????? That doesn't sound like it would well together, but who knows? I may be the secret ingredient. The cake looks pretty good though.
I was surprised when I learned about the mayo thing. Since it was added to the mixture of egg, butter, and the sugar, the mayo was only adding extra smoothness to the batter. There was no aftertaste of mayo at all once the chocolate and the flour were added to the mixture. Also, another secret is the stout. Instead of water, it is much better using stout to dissolve the instant coffee. But I didn't have that at home, so I was still using water.
even though you say the whipped cream was not clean it looks very cute and appetizing😋
Thanks! I was upset and angry because the house was a mess and I didn't have the proper tools to decorate the cake 😄
but it's amazing, don't worry🙌
This Does not look over complicated so.
You and coffe. I don't think there's a better love story
I thought it was complicated because I made a huge mess.
Proper order of things
New learning about cake, thanks for sharing.
This is really nice and it looks tasty, experimenting gives you more ideas and this is a lovely result gotten from your experiment
Indeed, that's why I call my recipes made in my cooking lab xD cause well, that's what I do, mixing stuff and trying to find the perfect recipe that I like and fits other palates.
Its nice what you do, not everyone takes the time to invent new recipe but we all love to try new tasty meals

Same as Wes -> Mayo in a chocolate cake? Damn, does not sound very good at first glance.
The final result looks pretty tasty, I wish I had cooking skills, but I have a cousin who will most likely like to try making this someday. (Maybe without the mayo? I told him that this recipe have mayo and his face wasn't good)
This is another recipe with Mayo https://www.hellmanns.com/ca/en/recipes/super-moist-chocolate-cake.html
