I used dark chocolate chips the yellow bag. It was perfect! (I did a search for wacky cakes & found some versions without cocoathis is a rabbit hole for sure). WebHome. Its also super easy, lux, and just so happens to be vegan (if you use vegan chocolate). Im in the process of emptying my kitchen after 2 years in Sydney. It will be thick and possibly murky and vividly green and amazingly peppery (warning: it will get milder with time). Made this recipe last weekend with a little less amount of suggar. so moist and almost brownie likelike the perfect in between a cake and brownie. Looked like a big muffin lol! However, I took a gamble and did not line my cupcake tins (usually my nonstick ones release things pretty cleanly) but liners are a must for this one! Delicious. I substituted it for a simple chocolate glaze from Baking a Moment and it was perfect for us. This cake is a mind-blower. I did make it GF and use leftover chemex (which I think has more oil?) Congrats on your new book. I have high expectations for it! This cake was super moist and chocolat-y, but it was so moist it crumbled to bits when I tried to cut it. The birthday bake went well! A 1/3 batch of that frosting is perfect for a 2-layer 6 cake, a 2/3 batch is perfect for a 2-layer 9 cake, and a full batch is perfect for a 3-layer 9 cake. Its divine! Congrats on your new book. It tasted ok, but fell apart when I tried to take it out of the pan. Delish! Mine took closer to 45 min in the oven. Line bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper; butter sides of pan. I came across your chocolate vegan cake last week and made it. Last month though, my spouse asked for a white wine/olive oil cake for her birthday, so I googled a yellow cake version of this recipe, subbed olive oil for the vegetable oil and white wine for the water. Made this tonight with a couple of slight modifications cut baking soda to 1 tsp, as recommended by other commenters, and subbed butter for half of the olive oil in the cake and coconut oil for half of the olive oil in the glaze. I had to bake it 5 minutes longer than called for to get it cooked through. It tastes like everything I could wish for! The depression in the center happened with me too. Its easy! It was delicious and even better throughout the week. And it was! Huge success! Regardless, its incredible! I love chocolate cake, but I never tried chocolate olive oil cake. The best chocolate cake!!! I un-veganized it but its a great base recipe to play with. I made this a few weeks ago and it turned out great, as expected. This recipe takes that cake to an entirely new leveloutrageously choclatey and DELICIOUS!! I make it with a broiled brown sugar, butter, coconut and nuts topping, and its like a super moist German chocolate cake. My husband, on the other hand, will make the same recipe over and over until its right. This was a bust, at 30 minutes the cake exploded over the pan onto the rack and base of the stove. Thank you! Attempt number two, using regular cocoa and 1 1/2 tsp baking soda, baked yet again for 40 minutes. We love it and I always have these ingredients (well duh) so on a day like today when the fella is making a curry feast for some friends and I think Im going to make my mums brownies but were out of butter ta da! Thanks so much! Fwiw, used California Olive Ranch Everyday EVOO as my oil and that worked great.

Thanks for the great recipe! !.I have used both glaze and butter cream frosting! First test-cake just came out of the oven. Light and fluffy the first day, denser and moister the second day, equally delicious both days. When its winter I add chopped crystallized ginger to the batter, do it youll be glad you did! I then served it with the mascarpone cream from the red wine chocolate cake recipe. I look forward to baking your version and seeing you in Portland, OR. This cake was soooooo good and got rave reviews from my dinner guests. Okay, Im not really a fan of cake- Ive always preferred tarts over cakes- so much so that I actually got rid of my cake pans last year because I never used them. Thanks for the information. This was fabulous and sooo easy to make! I recommend using half the amount of cocoa powder so its thinner. I really loved the original Cockeyed Cake and jumped at the idea of a darker version. I should have bought tickets the second they came out . yes! I ended up halving the recipe and making it as cupcakes (it made 8). I am sure you could also add nuts in there if you wanted. Made one for my sister who LOVES chocolate for her birthday. Coming back here to say that the baking soda definitely needs to be reduced. If its thin, it will bake much faster. I did a partial melt on the chips before adding the oil, but the chips were slow to melt ( * i should say that all of my appliances are brand new {approx 5 weeks} and I am still in learning curve mode with the newness of them,) so i added the remainder of the ingredients and checked the result every 30 seconds or so. Love your ramped up version and will get to it very soon. However, I routinely get a sunken middle. And sprinkles. I believe the vinegar reacts with the baking soda to make the cake rise. It spread more like a frosting! Still, it was worth it! I also used just water, not the coffee option. No issues with the rise or sinking, but we are at sea level here in on the west coast. It is delicious. Im sorry if its already been asked, but does this cake freeze well? Im not sure I understand; you mean, the same kind of cocoa powder? Yay for Maplewood, Deb! Cake flour used. Just when I thought I couldnt love you more..you post an Egg. is probably suffice. They roll better! This cake would also be fabulous using unsalted butter, or half butter and half olive oil. increments; stirring very well before each additional heating). The cake was springy and moist, and it did not sink. I have no idea how anyone made this recipe work and I do think this recipe needs to be re-tested. Currently eating a slice from the fridge 2.5 days after it was originally baked, I honestly think it tastes better now than on day one, thanks Deb. The benefit of dusting with powdered sugar was not needing to wait too long for it to cool after baking. I usually throw in very small pinch of cinnamon and white pepper too. I would swap by weight, so just use a tiny smidge more. Maybe Ill just have to bake 2 of these, one with olive, one with coconut and see for meself, eh? You can skip it if youd like. Long time fan Im so excited about your second book! I was able to perfectly spread over both cakes. Set aside. Having said all this: the flavor and texture of the cake itself was DIVINE. Super moist and delicious. . Very noticeable olive oil flavor from extra virgin oil, and the oil in the glaze is especially prominent. You asked about the collapse on one side. Hope you and your loved ones are safe and doing well. So yummy, and so easy, and so quick (which is what I needed it to be with two small kids and a 9 am deadline). I made this cake recently, replacing all of the water with freshly brewed coffee and it came out unreal. Finally got around to making this cake. Made this with the chocolate butter cream in Debs I-Want-Chocolate-Now Cake and it paired great together. Its a family favorite. I also added 1 t of vanilla since I cant imagine chocolate cake without it and used 1 tsp. Ive made this and love it. Preheat an o They prevent the outer edges of your cake from setting up faster than the center. (I wouldve anyway) Perhaps they will attend with me, since theyre supposed to be making a dinner per week per teenaged boy, and your cookbook and website are favorite starting places. It ended up being very moist and fudgy. I think the difference is that I used white vinegar this time versus apple cider the first time. How can I make a vanilla version?? The cake is a bit fragile so needs to be handled with some care but its worth the extra effort. No changes to the recipe except that I dont put frosting on top. Seriously. Preheat the oven to 350F (180C) and grease the bottom and the sides of a 95-inch (2313 cm) loaf pan or a 9-inch (23 cm) spring form. My two year old and I quickly threw this together at 4:30 for guests who were coming at 7:30. I would probably bake it longer than that if I make this again because my cake is too moist for my liking. My glaze became gritty (but not burnt) after melting. The wacky cakes Ive made dont even call for brown sugar, but I like that idea! Also, Ive been using Bake-Even Cake Strips (Amazon, Wilton, King Arthur Flour websites) for about a year now, and they work wonders by keeping the outside of your cake from setting before the middle does, allowing the entire thing to firm up properly. I wonder why? I also made icing as written (all mixed in a bowl and then microwaved in 15 sec. Very moist. The first Im one 9-in pan & the cake ran over quite a bit. It also darkens the cake (mine is almost black). I am going to make this cake multiple times because the first one disappeared so quickly! Hi, I was wondering if i could double the recipe and use a bigger pan to make this as a birthday cake. You suspect your wife/husband is lying to you. As others mentioned it did take longer to bake than the recipe indicated, I didnt keep track but it was probably around 45 mins. (Ps.I really like SO many recipes on your site!). Thank you for the time you put into all your recipes and for so generously providing them to us! Hi Debbie, The cake would not set up! Use a mild olive oil, and I did add an egg to mine both times, reducing the water/coffee by 1/4 cup. Im sorry it gave you trouble; its definitely not you thats experiencing dipping, although I hadnt in the times I made it. Also have always wondered how on earth this cake WORKS. Delicious! The recipe went into the trash along with all three cakes. This cake was AMAZING. I had slight caving in the middle, but it wasnt noticeable. I let it cool, spread a layer of seedless raspberry jam over it, then frosted with a whipped ganache (next time Im going to put fresh raspberries on it). I dont need it until tomorrow so Ill probably let it dry upside down overnight, then frost it upside down and put berries in the center indentation.

Soda and reduced coffee to 1 1/4c. Yes,Yes, it is wonderful! Laurie Colwin said whoever invented it should get a Nobel Prize, so in our house it has always been called Nobel Prize Cake. It tastes nearly identical to Beattys Chocolate Cake (my favorite chocolate cake recipe). Tonight, yearning for a piece, I took it out of the freezer and cut thin, 2 slices. It fell significantly in the middle, and then when glazed, gravity drew the glaze into the depression in the center! Today. I wanted to use coffee instead of water, but horror of horrors, realized I was out of my instant espresso that I use for such occasions. So I am excited to try your extra-chocolate version with olive oil! Oh no, its totally on. Time to begin again! I have a question about this recipe, and want to note a variation I tried. I brought this to an early morning moms group as a surprise birthday cake for someone and trusted that if you said it was delicious, it would be. It was what I always wanted for my birthday. It was super easy to pull together. Hi, I love this cake and have made it a bunch of times. Half coffee/half water and red wine vinegar rather than white vinegar. Yesterday, I finally baked again, and it was this. Let us know how that goes. It sounds like the problem was letting it cool for hours in the pan, and the bottom of the cake steamed itself and held in too much moisture. This cake is soooo densely chocolate, I knew that, for my taste, it would require buttercream instead of the chocolate glaze. But I have also made this cake without the coffee and its still delicious! It makes me think of question I have and a request for help. The cake is moist and intensely chocolate in the best possible way. Those with whom Ive shared this cake have gone absolutely bonkers for it. and it was taking so long to bake that i was worried about the edges burning and i took it out and it cratered. However, I was thinking of using water and espresso powder next time. I make crazy cake a lot (kid with egg allergy) and I couldnt wait to try it with brown sugar. It tasted amazing and really hit the spot. I used to make a similar cake, no eggs, but using vegetable oil and not nearly as much cocoa powder. This cake is AMAZING. Asking because Im planning on making this 2 days before serving to take away for the weekend. Today however it just never really baked. Eat everywhere you can and then come tell us about it! I am a little nervous about transfering it on to a serving dish but-fingers crossed. Made it with cold brew instead of water, and the flavor is delish! Great cake and will be making again in the future for my vegan sister :). Then she hacked through the crust on the rim of the pan to turn the cake out (which took some encouragement). Ill try your recipe this time with the amped up baking cocoa, and maybe a tablespoon of espresso powder to give it that extra oomph But still butter frosting always butter frosting. 1/4. No kidding! Thought about halving the recipe, but decided to just make two and gift one, anticipating a good result (this is SK, after all!). Weird! Your signing is at Manuels Tavern, an old Atlanta institution for journalists and politicians (Jimmy Carter announced his first run for GA governor there in 1970, for example). I hardly use any other oil these days, except when I make Asian style food I use sesame oil. So. But thank you. I reduced the sugar slightly to about 5/8 cup of each kind and it was still good. Quick Q should I use natural or Dutch cocoa powder here? This was phenomenal! I needed this to be oil-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free, and this was the perfect starting recipe. Thanks for another great recipe! Or are they two different things? Overall, it was a cinch. Some posts said to reduce the baking soda but her recipe called for 1 tsp and we are at sea level so it cant be altitude either. AND, as someone who is dairy sensitive, I can eat the entire cake without consequences. Next time I will pick a more neutral oil. Quite jazzed about this cake, too, but I might have to add a wee bit of cinnamonthat would put it squarely into the Fall category for me! 3. I spread vanilla Ice cream between two frozen slices and voila a frozen ice cream sandwich. I will say, though, that I suspect this only works if youre okay serving it out of the pan theres approximately zero chance I could remove this in one piece as-is. The second got a chocolate/peanut butter frosting which elevated the cake to outstanding. Turned out just as good as when Ive mixed it in a bowl. So easy. Slight depression from the baking soda as others have suggested, but the cake was flavourful and moist. It adds a depth of flavor and balances the sweetness perfectly. Oh, my goodness! Everything turned out beautifully, however I reduced baking soda partway to 1 1/4 tsp to avoid cratering per the comments, and got just a little tiny dip in the middle of each, easily covered by the glaze. Thank you for your reply. Thanks for putting yourself out there and for not giving up. My sister made this cake and said she followed the recipe (she even brewed coffee). Our go to birthday cake. The kind of chocolate cake I like! (I am trying to resist talking about the book nonstop but FWIW, theres an olive oil vegan too! The cocoa powder I used was not Dutch process. This doesnt work well as written at an altitude. I used coffee that I roasted brewed instead of the water,which added a new depth of flavor to the cake. Fan*tas*tic*. Sift flour, baking soda and salt: In a large bowl, sift together flour, However, after cooling down the whole cake tasted just fine and was served with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. And vegan without substitution! I am wrong about this. Yes! :-), Thanks for the conersions into grams and ml! :-). Just made this last night. I added an additional 10 minutes and it was perfection.
