How to make your chocolate cake
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 325 F then fill a saucepan with water and bring to a boil. After turning off the heat, rest the container on the inside edge of the saucepan. You must be careful when doing it. Be sure to place the container just above the height of the water. This is to prevent the chocolate from overheating.
Then you need to boil water using a saucepan on the stove and whisk the chocolate in it. To prevent the chocolate from sticking, make sure the chocolate is still hot.
Step 2
Put the butter and sugar in a bowl and mix the two together until fluffy and light. This process not only mixes the two, but also aids in aeration, which is vital to creating a light and tender cake. To make sure the ingredients are evenly incorporated, you should scrape down the sides of the bowl from time to time.
Step 3
Gradually add the egg yolks and vanilla to the mixture and beat until fully incorporated. The purpose of adding eggs is to prevent the dough from separating. Eggs at room temperature have been shown to result in a more cohesive dough. When you get a good mixture, add the melted chocolate.
Step 4
Sift all the dry ingredients. These include: salt, powder, flour and soda. Then you need to add them together with sour cream in the dough. The best way to do this is by adding 1/3 of the dry ingredients and ½ of the sour cream. You should repeat this process until all of the sour cream and dry ingredients are evenly incorporated. The reason you should add the ingredients gradually is to allow the dough to accept larger amounts of liquid which will create a moister, more delicious cake.
step 5
Beat the battery until smooth. When doing so, be careful not to overmix. Next, you need to prepare the baking pans with pan spray and divide the dough evenly. Finally, bake your cake until it springs to the touch again.
