THE ULTIMATE CHOCOLATE CAKE
Servings: 12
INGREDIENTS
CAKE
1½ cups flour
1 cup Dutch processed cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
1½ teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
1½ cups stout
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon espresso powder
1 cup butter, softened
1½ cups sugar
3 eggs
½ cup mayonnaise
4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
BUTTERCREAM
1½ cups butter, softened
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
½ cup Dutch processed cocoa powder
5 cups powdered sugar
Fresh fruit, to decorate
PREPARATION
1. Preheat oven to 325˚F (160˚C).
2. Grease and line three 8-inch cake tins with parchment paper.
3. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
4. In a large glass measuring cup, combine the stout, vanilla, and espresso powder. Set aside.
5. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until it is light and fluffy, about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides occasionally to ensure all the ingredients are being evenly creamed together.
6. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
7. Add the mayonnaise and beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
8. Alternate adding the prepared dry and wet ingredients to the batter. Starting with about ⅓ of the dry ingredients, beat until incorporated. Then add ⅓ of the liquid ingredients, mixing until the batter comes together. Continue until all the wet and dry ingredients have been incorporated.
9. Using a rubber scraper, fold the dark chocolate chunks into the batter.
10. Distribute the batter evenly between the 3 prepared cake tins.
11. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
12. Place the cakes on a cooling rack and leave to cool for about 10-15 minutes, until the outside of the pan is cool enough to touch.
13. Once the cakes have cooled, loosen the edges using a butter knife. Then place a large plate over the tin and invert to release the cake from the pan. Remove the parchment paper from the bottom of the cake and slide the cake back onto the cooling rack to cool completely. Repeat for the remaining two layers.
14. While your cakes are cooling, prepare the buttercream.
15. In a large bowl, beat together the butter and vanilla.
16. Gradually add in the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and milk, continuously beating until all the ingredients have been incorporated and the frosting is light and fluffy.
17. Decorate to your liking.
18. Enjoy!

I made this cake and it's amazing, here are a few pointers for those who are interested: Substitutes for stout - sparkling water (for airier texture), water or milk For 3 6-inch cake tins half the batter For 3 10-inch tins times the batter by 1.5 Check in the ingredients that the mayo you use doesn't have savoury elements like paprika, garlic or mustard seed that would ruin the flavour of the cake. If you're using extra strong espresso remove a little bit before using as the espresso will overpower the chocolate. I'd personally skip the chocolate chunks, it doesn't add anything to the cake and ruins the soft texture with random crunches. Chocolate swiss meringue buttercream is the best for this recipe, none of that super sweet American buttercream. Callebaut is an amazing and super rich chocolate powder to use, they do chocolate chips too (the 54% tastes amazing melted into the buttercream). I used simple syrup a couple of times doing this recipe and it just weighed down the cake and made it dense. Cake recipe in grams: 180g - Flour 120g - Dutch processed cocoa powder 1tsp salt 1.5tsp baking soda 0.5tsp baking powder 400ml milk 1tbs vanilla 1tbs espresso powder 226g unsalted butter 300g sugar 3 eggs 1/2 cup mayo Swiss meringue in grams: 4 large egg whites 300g caster sugar 400g butter 180g chocolate Hope this helps someone who wants to make this A M A Z I N G cake.
Thanke buddy. I can't drink beer and your a life saver! I pray you my new lord
@@comesbythedrunkensun No problem, glad this helped you!
Hello. Thanks for this. Im planning to make 6 inch cakes (3 layers) and i need help with the correct measurements. Would you please let me know what variation is good? I know u said half the batter but i want to know what ingredients should I adjust. Thanks!
@@jahninapamintuan1849 Everything needs to be halved if you want the same height layers as it is in the video which is about 2cm high. For a thicker layer for a 6 inch cake I would advise 3/4 batter which is as follow: 135g flour 90g cocoa 3/4 tsp salt 1tsp + pinch baking soda 1/3 + pinch tsp baking powder 300ml stout or other subsititute 3/4 tbsp vanilla 3/4 tbsp espresso powder 169g unsalted butter 225g sugar 2 eggs 1/3 cup + 1tbsp mayo Hope this helps!

recipe in grams -192 gr of flour -128 gr of Dutch processed cocoa powder -1 teaspoon salt -1½ teaspoons baking soda -½ teaspoon baking powder - 375 ml of stout - 1 tablespoon vanilla extract - 1 tablespoon espresso powder - 227 gr of butter, softened - 300 gr sugar - 3 eggs - 64 gr mayonnaise -100 gr of dark chocolate, chopped
thank you!!!!
This comment is underrated , like I can see people complaining about no metric measurements in the comments but they just don’t look hard enough
THANKS
Thank you so much!
Ah yes our hero finally
Come on tasty, pls start adding metric measurements if u wanna go international
read this Tasty. read this
Exactly, only 3 countries use the imperial measurements
@@sh9371 yeah maybe tasty wants to keep it in usa?
Yeah one time they even said something like “why can’t America just switch to the metric system”
@@is3433 I mean we would all love that, but that’s not realistically possible because it would take so long to completely switch, not to mention the million of dollars needed to replace machines etc... I don’t think the imperial system is going anywhere
Mayo is just eggs, oil, and some acidic liquid, which are all common in cakes to begin with, so I wouldn’t be surprised if mayo was even in every cake lmao
Mayo also contains mustard though...
This deserves more likes
@@FabiJenneke You can buy without mustard.
@@FabiJenneke not necessarily
Jenneke only when used for savory purposes, and normally only when you make it yourself. Mustard acts as an emulsifier.
This is the metric system version of the recipe: 3 dl flour (185 g) 2 dl Cacao paowder (120g) 1 teaspoon of salt 3 dl sugar 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 3,6 dl stout 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 tablespoon espresso powder 230 g butter 3 eggs 1,20 dl mayo 115 g dark chocolate I tried the recipe and it’s really good, so I think these are the correct measurements :)
Thank you! I prefer using the metric system instead of cups.
@@patc04 Who doesn't? Exept for the Americans haha
Thank you
Can anyone tell me what percent of dark chocolate to use? Thanks!
Thank you! I was looking for this
I'm someone who enjoys baking and seeing mayo in a chocolate cake does not surprise me at all. Seeing so many people in the comments freak out is hilarious.
Veronica same
@d00d this!
Yeah, biggest problem for me is the amount of sugar.. Can’t it be made delicious where flour and sugar ratio is not 1:1 ?
@@konradjanulis9939 You might be right. However, the mix includes ingredients like stout, espresso, and dutch processed cocoa powder. When I made the cake, it had a very dark and rich chocolate flavor. I think if it had less sugar, it would be way too bitter. Plus the recipe makes three individual cakes so it's not like all the sugar is going into one cake.
@d00d same
I tried making this cake, but I forgot all of the ingredients except the stout. It came out great!
😂 but stout is gross
Where’d you put the stout? In your mouth or cake? 😂
Ovened stout?
1. alternative for the stout: milk 2. alternative for the stout: water 3. alternative for the stout: water and milk
Do you mean all the wet ingredients? Or like every sing,e ingredient? Because you’d just have cooked stout.

CHRISTINE ADEOLA OLADOSU same
genuinely though you can't really taste it - if you eat the batter you can detect a hint but when it's cooked you really can't
lol the ingredients in mayo are the same that you use in cakes... eggs, oil, salt, only the aditives make the difference
Same
ME WHEN I MADE IT WITH A BUDDY OF MINE but oh my goodness this cake is to die for you really can’t taste it
THIS RECIPE IS INSANE. It really is the BEST chocolate cake, the texture is outstanding and the flavor is immaculate. I will never need another chocolate cake recipe again. This cake is heavenly.
Hello! Can i ask you a few questions about the recipe?
@@user-gt5uh7fe5c apparently not lol
This is for anyone wanting to make cupcakes with this recipe (which I highly recommend). Make the cake batter the same way. The oven temp will be the same too. This makes a little more than 30 cupcakes, so you could half the recipe if you’d like less. Make sure not to overfill the cupcake liners as the cake needs a little room to rise (otherwise they’ll sink in the middle a little bit). I think a little less than 2/3 of the full is safe. Check them after 15-20 minutes. A toothpick should come out with moist crumbs. If it’s wet, give it a few more minutes. Hope this helps someone! :)
thank you ❤️
THANK YOU
I made the cake exactly to the recipe for my friends birthday, it was fan.tas.tic. Everyone really enjoyed it. I did, however, change the icing because I’ve never been impressed by basic buttercream, the texture and balance is usually off. I made a chocolate cream cheese frosting, which is now also my ride or die choc frosting: 12 oz cream cheese 12 tbsp (3/4 cup) unsalted butter 3 cups powdered sugar (more if desired) 3/4 cup Dutch cocoa (also more if desired) 1 tsp salt 2 tsp vanilla 1/2 tsp instant coffee or expresso powder (^this recipe will make exactly enough for this three layer cake) Cream butter + cream cheese. Sift in sugar + cocoa, fold in then mix. Add salt, vanilla, coffee and mix until smooth and silky. I also recommend adding a crumb coat when frosting your cake if you want it to look ultra profesh. (And warning: don’t eat too much. Your guts will thank you for having self control)
Lauren Bennett no one cares

Let's be honest here...you didn't actually scream
i baked this cake yesterday !! I replaced the stout with milk and I recommend lessening the sugar bcos for me its too sweet, and dont forget to beat the butter for the buttercream so it doesnt freeze so hard in the refrigerator !!
Really? I thought it would be too bitter. Maybe Bc you didn’t use the stout?
@@leila7128 we really dont have stout in my place so i just replaced it with milk
@@heynamjin2301 how was the cake without stout?
I have a cake recipe where the liquid is coffee. You don't taste the coffee but it enhances the taste of chocolate.
@@MR-pn7rt its was still good even without the stout since i used milk, sorry for the late reply tho
Claire's voice is just SO relaxing. I had a bad day at school so when I came home I watched a ton of her videos and my day improved by 50%
What happened at school? ❤
for those of you who didn't want to use stout i made it with milk instead of stout i substituted it with (1 1/2 cup of milk + 1 teaspoon of instead coffee = stout ) then i added in the one tablespoon of instant coffee and vanilla i changed the butter cream and i just used whipped cream with chocolate sauce it turned out so goooood ( try it ) when you add the chocolate chunks IT IS JUST AMAZING when you eat it you will get soft moist cake then a little crunk of the dark chocolate then that creamy smooth frosting ...... omg
Finally i found it 😂😂 Thank you very much, i don't drink so this is very helpful👍
will you taste the espresso?
She doesn't even Go here ,Do you think root beer would work?
no you will not taste the espresso
Thanks!

The best chocolate cake that I have found in my 15 years of baking experience. Mayonnaise gives it the best creamy texture... It's a must try recipe
Chocolate cake is really my favorite. I've tried a lot of recipes and this is so far the best. I came across recipes with espresso powder and mayonaise but this is the first time i used stout. The stout for me is the game changer as it gave a deep flavor to the chocolate cake and i recommend not to omit or replace this. Im having problem though with the buttercream frosting as it always comes out grainy so i just replaced it with chocolate ganache and it still tastes good.
I made this cake 3 times now on 3 separate occasions. One of those times i made cupcakes instead and it came out just as good. 1. I definitely did NOT taste the beer or coffee in the end so I’m uncertain why people have commented that. 2. It is veeeeery rich so this cake will feed a lot of people. My husband loves chocolate and one small slice was plenty for him. 3. The mayo did weird me out at first but it definitely brings a moisture into the cake i had never before achieved. So definitely don’t forgo it. Stick to the recipe and you’ll be more than happy with the results.
Can you please tell me substitute of stout I can't find it in my country
Sorry I wouldn't know a substitute, I just used a dark beer.
Thanks 😊
How many cupcakes does the recipe make?
@@syedawajeehaaftab2775 Stout, I used Guiness Stout. If you choose a dark beer, almost black that would work fine.
I've used milk instead of stout and it still turned out to be the best chocolate cake I've ever made! Recommend this recipe to everyone 😊 (also, better eyeball the quantity according to the batter)
Hegde phenomenon Thanks for the tip! I’ve been wondering what to use!
Can this be successful in rice cooker too?
Even better add a bit of Coffee to the milk I did this and it was really good
Emmanuel Nyamaaro cool thanks!
Can I use fresh milk?

I like to come back to this video every now and again to tell people that this is the best chocolate cake recipe on the internet. You won't look for another one after you make this. You can even replace the stout with regular milk and it will still be amazing.
I tried this and it works! Was my very first time baking a chocolate cake, and it came out yummy and moist, even after 3 days. I didn't want three tiers, so I used half of the ingredients and baked a one layer cake in a 9 inch pan. One major change i made was use much less sugar in the buttercream frosting, I only used 1 cup and I felt it was still too sweet. Giving below the measurements i used, Cake 3/4 cup flour 1/2 cup cocoa powder 1/2 tsp salt 3/4 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp baking powder 3/4 cup milk 1/2 tbsp vanilla 1/2 tbsp espresso powder 1/2 cup butter(100 g) 3/4 cup white sugar 2 eggs 1/4 cup mayonnaise Buttercream 3/4 cup butter(150g) 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract 1/4 cup cocoa powder 1 cup powdered sugar 2 - 2 1/2 tbsp milk

Thanks for this Tasty. I baked this for my birthday today. Used bread flour, upped the baking powder, cut the sugar in half, used hazelnut baraco coffee, and it still was the best chocolate cake I’ve ever made. The texture is out of this world and the flavor has so much depth. My family and neighbors loved it 😁

I made this cake today and it is truly the ultimate chocolate cake. I did not use the stout and substituted with milk because I forgot to pick up the beer. It was AMAZING, so rich and chocolatey and moist. Best chocolate cake and the first cake I've ever made that didnt come out of a box mix.
I made it today for my sister's birthday, it was extraordinary! The batter is beautiful and the cake is velvety and has a complex and very deep flavor. I used only two thirds of the sugar and was perfect. I don't think it can be as good without the fruit so don't skip it.
This is the best chocolate cake ever that I made. Let me start by saying that I've been baking cakes since a long time by referring KZhead videos but never ever has my cake turned out to be so soft, fluffy and delicious. I just followed the recipe and I added few variations in the cake as found in comments section below (which really helped me a lot).list of the variations that I did: 1) Instead of adding 1.5 cups of stout, I added 1 cup of stout(Guinness draught stout since it was written on the cover that it has hints of coffee and chocolate) and half cup of coffee decoction(I didn't have Instant coffee powder or espresso powder instead I had Indian filter coffee powder which I boiled with water for 5 min). 2) I used Hershey's Special dark cocoa powder instead of Dutch processed cocoa 3) I used Ghirardelli's semi sweet chocolate chips instead of dark Chocolate chunks. 4) I had 0.5 cup of extra sugar in the dry ingredients 5) Since I had a 9' cake tin, I baked 2 layers instead of 3. 6) For icing, I just used 1 cup of butter instead of 1.5 and 3 cups of sugar instead of 5. Just want to add a note that don't hesitate to add Mayonnaise coz as shown in the video, the mixture turns creamy as soon as you add it so it really adds a texture to the cake. Happy baking guys!!
Thanks Disha, Im going to bake for my niece birthday. Im gonna add some hazelnuts to the mix, the best choc cake i ever had had them and it was lovely, chocolat and nuts go so well together and i will top with rasberries.
That's great Lardosian 👍
Is there any substitute for stout?
Arpita Chatterjee I never tried making this cake without stout so I don't know how you can substitute stout. I read in one of the comments that buttermilk can be used to substitute stout although I cannot guarantee the results since I have not tried it by myself.

I’ve tried so many chocolate cake recipes but I always come back to this one. It really is the ultimate chocolate cake for me!🙌🏻❤️
Did u use the different mould as the video showed? Can we just use 1 mould then divide it into 3 parts?
@@salmawahidmarseti4576 Hey, Sorry couldn’t reply earlier my notifications are off.😅 I use a 9 inch round mould and divide the batter in 2-3 parts since it’s too much for one mould.
i made this cake, i was skeptical with the stout and mayo ingredients but this cake is fabulous!!! do try it, you wont regret it
I have used mayo in other baked goods and its unlike anything to give that spectacular moisture. but I just made this today with all the recipes' secret ingredients (i did use a double chocolate stout)...O.M.G. literally, the best chocolate cake you will EVER make at home. hands down. super super worth your time and money
I used a coffee stout to double the coffee flavor but that sounds even better than what I did
Princess Rose that doesnt sound bad either... lol but yes. man, that double chocolate stout was amazing on its OWN, imagine in the cake. i super chugged the leftovers haha it was pretty fantastic if i say so myself :)
Im a little hesitant to use stout doe! :( IS there any other alternative?
Thejdreamerzful dont be!!!! just. do. it. lol TRUST me.
i'm not old enough to have alcohol (stout) what are some substantiations for this please I NEED to make this Help me
Made this today. This is honestly the best chocolate cake I’ve ever eaten. For the people that don’t drink alcohol replace the stout with sparkling water. Seriously! It’s amazing. Bake for exactly 35 minutes and chill in the fridge before icing so it’s sturdy. Delicious!
Thanks for the sparkling water tip! I was wondering what to replace the beer with. I thought maybe Coca Cola.
Yeah, I was thinking Coca Cola too. Would that be fine?
hey can i store it in fridge or freezer for one day and night? i mean i dont a have enough to time to make it on birthday so can i make it one day before?
Aweej Ajaz in theory I think it would work but I’m not sure if it would make the cake too sweet with all of the sugar in coke! If you try it please let me know how it turned out!
Blosom Olevel yes it would store fine in the fridge for a day!
I've actually made this before from your website. I absolutely recommend this recipe. The cake was very moist and delicious.
I've tried over a dozen chocolate cake recipes, and I think I've found the one! Thank you
Are you still sticking with this recipe?
GUYS. I made this. It’s amazing!!! The only thing I changed.... instead of milk in the buttercream frosting, I used baileys. Probably one of the best chocolate cakes I’ve ever made!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Dawn P what do you think of substituting the dark chocolate for milk chocolate
The flavor won't be as decadent. When I tried it the coffee, stout and dark chocolate combo all made sense. It created a simple, decadent and not overly sweet cake. Better than anything I could've bought at a grocery store or bakery to be honest. I suppose there's no harm in trying. But maybe adjust the sugar. Milk chocolate tends to have a higher concentration of sugar than dark.
This is my 5th time to watch this video, but haven’t made one yet 😅
I've made it 3 times so far! DO IT! :D
Fran�ois Laflamme Salut François! Le gâteau sera plus mince et large si tu utilise des pans de 9 pouces. La cuisson sera peut-être plus courte aussi. Je te conseille de vérifier un des gâteaux 5 minutes avant la fin pour voir si ils sont déjà prêts :)
This is definitely me with every Tasty 101 videos.
Same, but I lost count
Lol
Why do Tasty videos look so good, short and precise? Love it! I’ll definitely make this one. I also put greek yogurt to my carrot cake and banana cake.
I use Greek yoghurt in my chocolate chip cookies 😍
This is my go to cake to make for birthdays, it’s perfect and just ugh. Gorgeous.
I made this cake today. The only issues were finding a Dutch processed cocoa powder that was dark enough to color the cake, and pulling out the parchment from underneath sort of pulled out a portion of the cake, but it was surprisingly fixable. It turned out EXACTLY like the video’s cake. You can definitely taste all the flavors of the ingredients. Originally I thought that the girl was being super extra with her “ journey of flavors “ but this cake was actually bomb because of all the ingredients. I thought too that it was too involved for a potentially lackluster output. It definitely was not. It is very balanced and actually VERY easy to follow! I love these types of videos; crosses between tasty shorts and informational videos. Keep this stuff up!! 😃
A.durian is the cake moist?
yeah! The mayonaise is a great idea.
A.durian i need your help! How much should i put those ingredients in 9 inch pan? Should i add like example i put 2 cups of flour instead of 1 1/2 cups
A.durian and for the butter should i put 1 1/2 cups of butter instead of 1 cups of butter for the 9 inch pan? I really need your help! Im making this cake by tomorrow
Christhella prjx hi If you’re using 9 inch pan you just double the measurements of your ingredients. Then for buttercream the icing sugar 2-3 cups is enough. Because powdered sugar is too sweet rather than the granulated sugar. Goodluck :)
Her voice was sooooo calming idk why but it's so calming lol
I know right! Watching the video was even better because of her voice!
I find it very annoying for some reason
Unicorn Poop lol sounds like she drinks the Kool aid
I personally didn't like it at all 😂😂 found it a bit annoying but hEy as long as u like it
Christoffer Bergström says I prefer when they put music over the top it like their Facebook videos
I have seen mayo used before but what makes this cake standout is the stout. Guiness is the best known. I have used the beer in a rich and gooey brownie. It made the difference. Also adding the espresso.
I made this cake yesterday and oh boy it was sooo good! It was super moist and super tasty! Instead of stout, I used milk. I can surely say, this is the best chocolate cake recipe out here. Thank you Tasty!
“don’t freak out” oh she’s just adding sweetened condensed milk or whipped cream or something “it’s mayonnaise” ,,, what
Jaden Cave you can't even taste the mayonnaise once it's added all it does is make the cake very moist
Jaden Cave Yep. MAXIMILLION DOOFENSHMIRTZ is right.
Not like mayonnaise has a strong taste.
Same. Srsly wtf lol
Mayonnaise is literally just eggs and oil, two key ingredients for good cake. My dad’s Nonnie (grandma in Italian if anyone doesn’t know) used to do it all the time.

@@rabeyamahee1921 Buttercream was fine, it totally depends on your taste, I'm making another one today and I'll be using a cream I saw in one of the comments. My oven is old and produces heat just from the bottom of it, so I baked it at 180 degrees (C) for 30 minutes. I made a rookie mistake the first time and beat the batter for too long, so some deflation happened.
@@Desol8godfather thank you very much fr sharing ur information.
With wat did u replace stout??
@@115mendonshreyasamit7 instead of stout and espresso powder I added brewed coffee and milk (3:1)
This was my very first attempt at making a cake and it turned out AMAZING. Thank you!
Congrats Richard. When you have a good recipe and follow it, it's not too difficult. I used to make carrot cake for my mom when I was a teen; it's her favorite cake, and it always came out good because I followed the recipe. I bet your cake was delicious. I'd make one but I'd only end up eating it all and I don't need that. -- If each haven't already check out Preppy Kitchen. John has a bunch of awesome recipes, from cakes and pies to soup and spanikopita. He's a great teacher and his recipes are easy to follow. ENJOY!
Did u use the different mould as the video showed? Can we just use 1 mould then divide it into 3 parts?
Just made this. I used milk instead of stout as a previous comment stated and it was still the best cake I’ve ever had. So moist and flavorful. I didn’t use espresso powder either. Also for the buttercream frosting. I was low on powdered sugar and only had about a cup of it and it was still plenty...The recipe makes way too much frosting in my opinion.
Would u prefer buttercream or swiss meringue frosting for this cake?
it's me i used buttercream. It’s amazing. I didn’t measure anything, just used maybe about a cup of powdered sugar, a block of unsalted butter, roughly measured maybe a quarter cup or so of cocoa powder and a tablespoon of milk and it was great. Whenever I make buttercream I don’t measure anything and it always turns out fine.
candy girlll I didn’t know that, thanks!
@@Laura05123 thx!!
How much milk did you use?
I've made this cake yesterday for a party and everybody went crazy. It's very chocolatey and really moist, it's absolutely amazing. I used Heineken 🙈, because stout it's not easy to find, but I added a bit more of espresso powder and the result has been crazy. Thanks Tasty ❤ it made my night 🎇
What is espresso powder? Is it just that? Ground espresso?
Hoover Amaya no its more like that instant coffee powder
can u please tell me what brand of cocoa powder you used? please! it would rly help me
Sai i've used the Perugina dark cocoa powder, but i'm italian, so I don't know if you can find it easily
Hoover Amaya no, it's the espresso powder that you put directly in hot water to have coffee
I made this for my bday to surprise my boys! It’s the greatest accomplishment I have ever made!! Thank you!
I swear, I watch this atleast twice a month for the past year or two. Blame youtube for the monthly recommendation of this video.
Mayo is a pretty well known cake ingredient actually.. Mayonnaise bottles used to have a recipe for mayonnaise cake on them years ago, never tried it but it makes complete sense when you think about it.. eggs, oil, salt etc
Dan Of Those
I want my students to make this cake. But we cant use alcohol, what would be the best Stout Substitute??
here are the ingredients cut in half if you want to make a smaller cake: 3/4 cup flour 1/2 cup dutch processed cocoa powder 1/2 tsp salt 3/4 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp baking powder 3/4 cup stout (i used milk because i don't have it, it's good too) 1/2 tbsp vanilla 1/2 tbsp espresso powder 1/2 cup butter 3/4 cup white sugar 1 1/2 eggs (i just used 2) 1/4 cup mayonnaise edit: i forgot to put the ingredients for the buttercream too so here it is: 3/4 cup butter 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract 1/4 cup dutch processed cocoa powder 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar 2 - 2 1/2 tbsp milk also, if you want the metric measurements, check my reply in this comment! :) you guys can also feel free to ask any questions, but your question might be answered in the reply section already :) i might reply a little late to some questions, sorry! 😅
Thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much !
Thank you!!!!
Salted or unsalted butter for frosting
Vaishnavi Chavan It doesn't say in the video, but most recipes use unsalted butter so i think you should just use that. You could also use a small pinch of salt in your frosting so it doesn't taste too sweet :)
made this cake yesterday. Tastes and looks absolutely amazing! Highly recommend!
This is not your first time here. And you know it
“You and I are not so different”
That was so cool to make the circle with parchment. I want to try this! Thanks so much for sharing!
Lol I saw your comment on “Sorry Girls”
Cupcakke Was it the comment on the cool lamp? LOL. I really liked that cool lamp she pick out, I've never seen anything like it. Here...at Tasty's channel I'm finding great recipes that I want to try out. It's fun to watch different channels when I get a chance to.
abc decorating paradise lol that funny we found each other, plus that lamp was unique
So refreshing to see nice comments like these amongst all the unnecessary hate
u r sooo l8
first i thought mayo eww but then you think what mayo is its just eggs and oil whisked together and those two things are already used in cakes so it dont even sound that out rages
taco bell "out rages"
“Out rages” IM FUCKUNG SCREAKHB
Outrageous*
You said you were laughing at yourself but you didn’t even fix it... did you not know how to spell it correctly?
yh i know its "outrageous" but its to funny to change
This is the best cake recipe ever. Soooo good, not too sweet, perfectly rich.
Bruh I just made this and it’s still in the oven, but I tasted the batter and I literally LICKED the ENTIRE bowl clean. Wow. I’m very thankful for your sharing of this recipe.thank you
I just made this for thanksgiving and it was amazing, everyone loved it, I would change a few things though 1. Don't put in the chocolate chunks 2. Use good quality pans(mine burnt it a little) 3. Bake a little bit longer after toothpick comes out clean, (I could still taste the beer a little bit) 4. Only use 4 cups of powdered sugar for the buttercream, and add a little bit more cocoa powder than recommended, also dont put it in the fridge 5. Use 1 cup of stout and 1/2 cup water instead of 1 1/2 cup of stout
Justin Casas what is the stout
@@shahadkhalouf9094 the stout is beer but the alcohol bakes away
Are there any substitutes for stout because I’d rather not use it (and I’m not allowed to)
Turtle King you can use brewed coffee instead!
Why no chocolate chunks?

I just made this cake today and it was breathtakingly tasty!! If you are watching this and thinking if it will be alright to add mayo or not, I added mayo and just as she said, it made it more moist!! Guys don't be afraid to add the mayo! It REALLY makes a difference!
Can we replace the stout with something else
Tip: if you don't want a dry cake, mix water with some espresso and spill on every layer of cake before putting cream. Also, I recommend using ganache instead of butter cream.
I was surpirsed why no cake wash/ sugar syrup!!
This cake is already super moist, so if you do add any type of syrup/ extra liquid to your cake, do so in small amounts with some type of brush of squirt bottle. This is not a tres leches cake where all that liquid is going to be soaked up; if you poured everything on top like that, the cake would fall apart. Even then, I don't believe that any type of soaking would be need unless you plan on storing the cake in the fridge, which could then dry out the cake a bit.
Mil Vil you can also use a simple syrup becuase water can make the cake crumbly. It does work of course but a simple syrup is way better. You boil the same amount of water and sugar and then let it cook then put it on the cake layers
Mil Vil i tried it and it made the cake mushy (no texture) made it like plain fudge..... so this doesn’t work with this cake
That's cheating xD
Narration for this series is great, I love her voice

Mayonnaise is the best! I have been using this recipe since I started getting serious about baking cakes. I already baked with this recipe more or less than 10 times without a stout and mayo. But recently, I decided to put mayo and the result is so mindblowing. The texture is so good. So moist and soft. I wonder about the taste if I try putting stout 🤔
did not expect it but this really is the best chocolate cake I've ever tried. Thank you!
That mayo really made me freak out...
MatthewDMS It's just egg and oil 🤷♀️
Don't
Bhawna03 what??? why didn't i know this??? whaaaaaatt????
Bhawna03 and sald and vinegar ..
Me too, but it has some salt and it just adds the creamy texture, which you won't taste in a cake.
I just made this cake and from all of the chocolate cakes I have made I would truly say this is the ultimate chocolate cake. The taste and texture is phenomenal and this is now going to be my to go to chocolate cake. The only substitute I made was instead of stout I used buttermilk and it came out so delicious! I say give it a try!
Can you use regular cocoa powder? Or did u use dutch?
Ana Cristina Valderrama I used Hershey special dark coco powder👍
Alexis Villanueva did you use plain flour ?
@@user-kj9vt2jb5p All purpose
Did you use mayonnaise too? So mayonnaise and buttermilk (substitute for stout)
I actually tried this recipe for my cousin’s birthday and it was delicious , I replaced stout with milk and I didn’t add mayo because I didn’t have stout or mayo but trust me it came out delicious . You must try it .
I just watched it and was positive surprised as this is really CLOSE to a Muffin Rezept i have for Red Velvet Cake Muffins. It is really a hit with my family.
OK, so i made this a few times now: 1. i divided the recipe in half (used 2 eggs instead of 1.5), and used 2, 6" pans. if you're using 2, 6 inches like me, around 315g batter in each pan will work nicely 2. i used 1/4 cup of sour cream + a little less than 1/4 cup mayo (again I divided the recipe in half) 3. it domed. so I've realized that the shorter/ smaller the height of the pan is, the less likely it domes. (so i hv a 6x2in pan, and a 6x3in pan. the 6x3 domed a lot more than the 6x2. if you used 8in pans (that are like 8x1in) then your cake shouldn't dome basically at all). 4. used chocolate swiss meringue buttercream (you don't need a lot of frosting, since I only did 2 layers. if you want, you can multiply this recipe by 2). *CHOCOLATE SWISS MERINGUE BUTTERCREAM RECIPE:* -1/4 cup egg whites -75g white sugar (or about 1/2 of 3/4) - you can add up to 100g (1/2 cup sugar), but no more than 1/2 cup - 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter (softened, but still kinda hard) -1/4 cup cocoa powder -optional splash of vanilla INSTRUCTIONS: 1. whisk together egg whites + sugar over a double broiler 2. wait till the egg white/sugar mix gets to 140F (60C). 3. whip (use mixer) the eggs/sugar for around 10 min. (until the mix becomes thick and cool) 4. proceed to add the butter in tablespoon sized pieces into egg whites 5. keep whipping. YOU MUST ADD ALL THE BUTTER. incorporate the butter 1 piece at a time, mixing thoroughly in between 6. add the vanilla + cocoa powder and keep whipping until fully incorporated. *note: this does not make a lot of buttercream. I found it was the perfect amount for 2, 6 inch cakes. if you are making the og recipe, please double this recipe. I don't advise using the american buttercream, since the cake would be far to sweet. i personally don't like to have super sweet stuff, so this cake is more chocolate than sugar*
THANK YOU FOR THIS !!!!
Yeah I think I'd rather buy a cake in the supermarket.
Hello! do u think cooking half of the og recipe in a single 8 inch pan & cutting it in half wouldn’t work? i mean is it gonna dome too much?
@@annienriquez_ using an 8 inch pan means it probably won't dome at all. 8 inch cakes are generally not cut in half (since they're so thin), but if u want really thin cake layers- you could try that? I would just use the recipe I provided above on 2, 8 inch pans (since when I used 6 inch pans, my cake layers were very thick). also, if you only have 1 , 8 inch pan- then i would recommend not cutting the cake in half and just smearing frosting on top.
@@annienriquez_ but also idk if half the og recipe would even fit in a single 8 inch. you can try it? i think that if the batter hits nearly the top of the pan, u can probably cut it in half. Although be careful since your cake it going to need longer to cook.
"And the secret ingredient, dont freak out" Me: okay "Mayonnaise" *FREAKS OUT*
James Ultron actually??
It's just oil and egg

I use to make a delicious chocolate cake in the 80's that contained mayonnaise. It was one of the most delicious chocolate cakes I had ever made, next to this one! This recipe increases the complexity of ingredients by using stout and expresso powder! I love it! Mine is in the oven now baking. I can tell just by the batter that it produced, and the taste of the batter, that this cake is going to be delicious!! 🤩🎂 UPDATE: The cake is moist and delicious BUT, I would only use 2 oz chocolate bits in the batter rather than 4 oz. I think 4 oz turns the cake more into a brownie.
I have watched this so many times it just doesn't get boring at all
I made this cake today..actually came out pretty good and it was super moist (sorry for using the word) even without the icing..had to skip the icing because I messed that up as I did not have icing sugar..but the cake was really good
Zahana Zahid what did you use instead of stout?
I used milk.
Did you still add the espresso powder?
yes, still added it
Zahana Zahid why are you apologizing because you used the word??
sweet mother mary, can we just skip to the part where you knock on my door and hand me the finished cake?! thanks. this looks amazing.
I made this and yum, it’s great! I substituted coffee for the stout. It was moist and not too sweet. I recommend adding the fruits on top, like mentioned bc it brings a balance(raspberries are a fav).
Guys, you have to try this recipe! I did and it came out amazing. The only recipe changes that I did were that I replaced stout with espresso and half of the sugar with dark brown sugar.
Hold up how’d I get all these likes??
Police#3 yep🙃
out of sight, out of mind
Perfect said haha

Meh 😑
I just made this according to the recipe. No joke, this is the best chocolate cake I've ever had. It's not especially sweet, but it is immensely flavorful. It tastes like chocolate instead of sugar. The person who made this was not kidding around when she said this was tested over and over again. Make this exactly as the video describes. You will be shocked by how amazingly good this is.
I tried this recipe and it was soo good! It wasn’t too sweet either. If you don’t want to use stout or use mayonnaise I recommend using 1 1/2 cups of buttermilk, it makes it so moist (use buttermilk to replace Mayo and stout)
Thank you I was just trying to find out a substitute for mayo and stout
