Looking for a chocolate cake recipe that is elegant, unique, and airy? The following recipe for Choco-Mania Soufflé Cake is sure to fill that bill!
Both quick and simple to make, this chocolate soufflé cake bakes up nicely and cuts & serves with ease. I suggest pairing it with a quality vanilla ice cream or dollop of freshly whipped cream, as it’s a touch plain to be served as a stand-alone dessert. That acknowledged, this soufflé cake is extraordinary---refined and graceful---something I would serve anyone, anytime, anywhere. Its texture is sublime, precisely what should be expected from a soufflé cake (somewhat a cross between a mousse and a cake) and its flavor was spot on (delicate and not too sweet).
Choco-Mania Soufflé Cake
A "Best of" Inn Cuisine, recipe courtesy the Andon-Reid Inn Bed & Breakfast, Waynesville, NC
- 1/2 cup butter (plus more for buttering a 9-inch cake pan)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate, melted
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- cocoa powder (for dusting cake pan after buttering)
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F for baking. Liberally butter, then dust, a 9-inch cake pan with cocoa powder; set aside. Using an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar together until well blended; add melted baking chocolate, eggs, and vanilla, blending well. By hand, fold in flour until mixture is combined. Pour batter into prepared 9-inch cake pan and bake at 325 degrees F or 25-30 minutes, or until cake is set. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes, then invert on serving plate. Serve warm, or cover the cake for serving the next day, heating in the microwave for 20 seconds before serving. Makes a perfect accompaniment to vanilla ice cream and/or whipped cream.
It looks like fudgey brownies! So deliciously appetizing !!
