CHOCOLATE GINGER CAKE RECIPE - FOOD.COM



Chocolate Ginger Cake Recipe - Food.com image

Moist, rich, very chocolaty . . . what is not to love about this cake?! Adapted from a recipe in Country Living UK, this cake tastes far better than it should considering how easy it is to make. My hubby and daughter declare they even prefer it to the store-bought local gourmet bakery chocolate cake. And we live in Quebec, where good French baking traditions thrive!

Total Time 1 hours 15 minutes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 55 minutes

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup molasses
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
2/3 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
4 baker's dark chocolate squares, in small pieces

Steps:

  • Optional: Place Baker's chocolate at room temperature several hours in advance to make the chopping easier.
  • Preheat oven to 300.
  • Put butter, sugar and molasses into a medium pot and stir over low heat until butter has melted. Chop chocolate into small pieces (not too small - spare yourself the trouble as they melt anyhow) while watching the pot. Turn off heat once butter has melted and ingredients in pot have blended.
  • Add flour, spices and baking soda to pot, and stir well.
  • Add milk, egg and chocolate and stir until smooth.
  • Pour into greased 9 inch square glass pan.
  • Bake 50/55 minutes, until knife inserted in middle comes out clean. Enjoy with fresh whipped cream!

GINGER CHOCOLATE CAKE RECIPE - NYT COOKING



Ginger Chocolate Cake Recipe - NYT Cooking image

Crème fraîche enriches this flourless cake, and dark cocoa powder bolsters its chocolate flavor. Both fresh and dry ginger add a nuance of heat and spice that show why ginger pairs so well with chocolate. Even though this cake is wonderful on its own, unsweetened crème fraîche dolloped on top and chewy, citrusy clementine confit takes this into a very sophisticated neighborhood.

Provided by Susan Spungen

Total Time 1 hours 15 minutes

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup/170 grams unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks), plus softened butter for greasing the pan
12 ounces/340 grams bittersweet chocolate (60 percent), broken into small pieces
1/4 cup/25 grams Dutch-processed cocoa powder, plus more for dusting
1 rounded tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger
1 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 (8-ounce/225-gram) container crème fraîche (1 cup)
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ginger liqueur or Cognac (optional)
6 large eggs, separated
Clementine Confit, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan with the softened butter. Line the bottom with parchment and butter the paper.
  • Combine the butter and chocolate in a medium bowl, and set the bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir occasionally until mostly melted and remove from heat. Continue stirring until smooth and let cool slightly. Add cocoa, fresh ginger, ground ginger, vanilla, salt, 1/4 cup/55 grams crème fraîche, 1/4 cup/50 grams sugar and the liqueur, if using. Whisk until smooth. Lightly beat the egg yolks in another bowl and whisk into the chocolate mixture until smooth. Set aside in a warm place to keep the mixture loose.
  • Meanwhile, use a stand mixer fitted with the whisk or a hand mixer and large bowl to beat the egg whites on medium speed until evenly foamy. Gradually sprinkle in the remaining 3/4 cup/150 grams sugar. Increase the speed to high and continue beating until the egg whites are very billowy and hold a peak.
  • Add 1/4 of the whites to the chocolate mixture and whisk until smooth, then scrape into the bowl with the whites. Fold gently until no white streaks remain. Scrape into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Place on a baking sheet and onto the center oven rack.
  • Bake until the center bounces a little when you gently shake the pan and a toothpick inserted 1 1/2 inches from the edge comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool completely on a rack.
  • Remove the ring and slide onto a serving plate from the pan bottom. You can leave the paper in place. Gently pat any crumbling edges back onto the cake. The cake will last well wrapped at room temperature for a few days and can also be frozen.
  • When ready to serve, chill a bowl and whisk, and use them to whip the remaining 3/4 cup/180 milliliters crème fraîche. It will thin out at first, then hold its shape. Dust the cake with cocoa powder and slice with a hot knife. Serve each slice with a dollop of crème fraîche and some of the clementine confit.

MARY BERRY'S GORGEOUS GINGER AND CHOCOLATE CAKE
Enjoy the delicious combination of chocolate and ginger in this light and fluffy layer cake from Mary Berry. The use of ginger ensures a moist, moreish sponge - it's unlikely this cake will leave leftovers!
From thehappyfoodie.co.uk
  • Preheat the oven to 180ºC (fan 160ºC/350ºF/Gas 4). Grease the sandwich tins and line the bottom of each with baking parchment. Put the cocoa powder into a large, heatproof bowl. Stir in 6 tablespoons of boiling water, then add the milk. Mix to make a smooth paste (see below, Smooth mixture).

    Add the remaining cake ingredients and combine using an electric hand whisk for 1–2 minutes only (or 3 minutes with a wooden spoon); do not over-mix, or the cake may not rise.

    Divide the cake mixture equally between the prepared tins and level the tops. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the cakes shrink away from the side of the tin and spring back when lightly pressed in the centre. Let the cakes cool for a few minutes in their tins, then turn them out and peel off the paper. Turn the cakes the right way up and leave to cool on a wire rack.

    Make the filling and topping: sift the icing sugar into a large bowl. Add the butter, stem ginger syrup, and milk, and beat together using an electric hand whisk (or wooden spoon) until well blended. Transfer one of the cakes to a serving plate and spread half the icing over the top. Place the second cake over the filling and cover the top with the remaining icing. (See below, Evenly iced cakes.) Use the palette knife to draw large “S” shapes to give a swirl effect, then decorate the edge with the shredded stem ginger.

    KEYS TO PERFECTION

    Smooth mixture

    Cocoa powder can be lumpy, so mix it to a smooth paste with boiling water, then milk before adding the remaining ingredients. Use a wooden spoon to break up any lumps.

    Evenly iced cakes

    Make sure the butter for the icing is at room temperature, so it will spread easily. Use equal amounts of icing between the layers and on top of the cake, and cover right to the edges.

    Buying and using cocoa powder

    This cake looks and tastes very chocolatey, but it doesn’t actually contain any chocolate – it’s made with cocoa powder. Buy a good-quality cocoa powder, preferably an organic one. This will be darker than the less expensive varieties, and will ensure that your cake has a deep, rich chocolate colour and flavour.

    You will need: 2 loose-bottomed, round sandwich tins, 20cm (8in) diameter and 4.5cm (13/4in) deep
