RECIPE — What On Earth Possessed You To Create Such An Excessive Chocolate Cake?

First we eat, then we do everything else. — M.F.K. Fisher

This so-called “too much chocolate cake” is a prime example of how people can go completely overboard with chocolate, thinking that more is always better. Let’s reign in this excessive chocolate madness and create a cake that actually allows the flavors to shine through.

Here’s a more refined and balanced chocolate cake recipe that won’t leave you feeling like you’ve just swallowed a chocolate factory.

Refined Chocolate Cake

Ingredients:

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • Confectioners’ sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
  4. Stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but that’s okay.
  5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  7. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from the pans and transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  8. Once cooled, dust with confectioners’ sugar if desired.

Wine Pairing: To complement the rich, yet balanced flavors of this refined chocolate cake, I recommend pairing it with a luscious glass of Beringer Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine’s dark fruit and subtle oak notes will elevate the chocolate experience to a whole new level.

Now, that’s how you create a chocolate cake that doesn’t drown the palate in an overwhelming sea of cocoa. Be mindful of your chocolate use next time, and remember, less can indeed be more.
