A Sticky Ginger Loaf Cake is a moist, warmly spiced cake that combines the sweetness of molasses or dark syrup with the rich, spicy warmth of ginger. This loaf cake typically includes ground ginger, and sometimes fresh or crystallized ginger, adding layers of flavor and a hint of heat. Ingredients like brown sugar, butter, and golden syrup are often used, giving it a deep caramelized sweetness and a dense, sticky texture. The loaf is baked until golden, then brushed with syrup to enhance its sticky exterior and further infuse it with flavor. This cake is perfect served on its own or with a dollop of cream, especially around colder months when its rich spiciness is extra comforting.
German Chocolate Cake

🧑🍳 INGREDIENTS : FOR THE CAKE 4 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped ½ cup water 4 eggs, whites and yolks separated 2¼ cups all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled off ¼ cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder, such as Hershey’s, sifted 1 teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon salt 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened 2 cups granulated sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup buttermilk (see note) FOR THE COCONUT-PECAN FROSTING 4 egg yolks 1 (12-oz) can evaporated milk 1½ cups (packed) light brown sugar 1½ sticks (¾ cup) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces 2½ cups (lightly packed) sweetened flaked coconut (preferably Baker’s) 2 cups coarsely chopped pecans 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract ¼ teaspoon salt FOR THE CHOCOLATE GLAZE ¼ cup heavy cream 1 tablespoon light corn syrup 2 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped 🧑🍳 INSTRUCTIONS: FOR THE CAKE Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Spray 3 or 2 (9-inch) round cake pans with nonstick cooking spray with flour, such as Baker’s Joy or Pam with Flour. Line the bottoms of the pans with parchment circles and spray again. Place the chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Bring the water to a boil in the microwave (or on the stovetop) and pour over the chocolate; let sit for one minute. Stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is completely smooth. In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside and clean the beaters (you’ll use them again for the batter). In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside. In a very large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes (start on low, then increase the speed to medium). Add the egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in the melted chocolate mixture and the vanilla. On low speed, add the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour. Add about ⅓ of the egg whites to the cake batter; fold until evenly combined. Add the remaining egg whites and fold just until the batter is uniform. Divide the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake until the cakes are set and a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes for 3 layers or 35 to 40 minutes for 2 layers. Cool the cakes in the pans for about 15 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely. FOR THE COCONUT-PECAN FROSTING In a 2-quart saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks, evaporated milk, and light brown sugar; add the butter and bring to a gentle boil. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking frequently, until thick, about 12 minutes (adjust the heat as necessary to keep the mixture at a gentle boil). Remove from the heat and stir in the coconut, pecans, vanilla, and salt. Let cool to room temperature. FOR THE CHOCOLATE GLAZE Pour the cream and corn syrup into a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high power until boiling, about 1 minute. Add the chopped chocolate. (Alternatively, place the chocolate in a medium bowl. In a small saucepan, bring the cream and corn syrup to a boil and then pour it over the chocolate.) Let the mixture sit for 30 seconds, then whisk until smooth and glossy. Let the ganache cool until slightly thickened but still pourable, whisking occasionally so a film doesn't form on top, 10 to 15 minutes. (If it gets too thick, you can warm it in the microwave for 10 seconds, or until just pourable.) TO ASSEMBLE For a 3 layer cake: Place 1 cake layer, rounded side down, on a cake platter. Using a metal spatula, spread ⅓ of the coconut-pecan frosting over the layer. Add the second layer, rounded side down; spread with ⅓ of the frosting. Add the third layer, rounded side up; spread with remaining frosting, leaving the sides of the cake unfrosted. For a 2-layer cake, follow the same procedure but spread half of the frosting over the bottom layer and the remaining half over the top layer. Prepare the chocolate glaze and drizzle it over the top of the cake, letting it drip down the sides. Cut the cake with a small, very-sharp serrated knife, using a sawing motion and wiping the knife clean (carefully!) between slices.
Chocolate Lover’s Chocolate Cake
397 views · Apr 3, 2024 serrablog.com
A dark chocolate cake with a rich and creamy chocolate frosting — this is the ultimate chocolate cake for chocolate lovers. 🧑🍳 INGREDIENTS: FOR THE CAKE 2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled off with knife 2 cups granulated sugar 1 cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder, such as Hershey’s 1 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 2 large eggs, lightly beaten ½ cup vegetable oil 1 cup sour cream 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract 1 cup boiling water FOR THE FROSTING 8 ounces semi-sweet or milk chocolate, broken into small pieces (see note) 2½ sticks (20 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened but still cool 1¼ cups confectioners' sugar ½ cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder, such as Hershey’s ⅛ teaspoon salt ¾ cup light corn syrup 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🧑🍳 INSTRUCTIONS: FOR THE CAKE Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly butter the bottom of two 9-inch round cake pans. Line the bottoms of the pans with parchment paper, and then butter and flour the parchment and the sides of the pans. (Alternatively, replace the butter and flour with nonstick cooking spray with flour, such as Baker’s Joy or Pam with Flour.) In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix on low speed for 30 seconds to combine. Add the eggs, oil, sour cream, and vanilla and mix on low speed until combined. Increase the speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Then, reduce the speed to low and gradually pour in the hot water (be careful to pour very slowly so it doesn’t splash). The batter will be soupy. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl; mix again until evenly combined. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting. Cool the cake layers in the pans on a rack for 10 minutes. Invert the cakes onto a wire rack, remove the pans and cool completely. When the cakes have cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Using an icing spatula or butter knife, spread about ¾ cup of the frosting over the first layer. Top with the second layer, then spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides of the cake, swirling decoratively. The cake is best enjoyed fresh on the day it is made, but it will keep for 2 to 3 days stored in a cake dome at room temperature. FOR THE FROSTING Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and cook in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until it's about three-quarters of the way melted. Stir, allowing the residual heat in the bowl to melt the remaining chocolate completely. (If necessary, place the chocolate back in microwave for a few seconds.) Set aside to cool. In a food processor, process the butter, confectioners’ sugar, cocoa powder and salt until smooth, about 30 seconds, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the corn syrup and vanilla and process until just combined, 5 to 10 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the lukewarm melted chocolate and pulse until smooth and creamy, 10 to 15 seconds. Do not overmix. The frosting can be used immediately or held at room temperature for 3 to 4 hours. It may lose its shine as it sits—to bring the shine back, run a metal spoon under hot water, then wipe dry with a towel; stir the frosting with the hot spoon and it should shine right up. Note: If making this cake for children, I recommend using milk chocolate for the frosting (Hershey or Lindt milk chocolate bars work well). Semi-sweet chocolate will lend a more intense chocolate flavor (Ghirardelli bars for baking are ideal). Make-Ahead/Freezing Instructions: The cake can be made up to one day ahead of time and stored in a cake dome. The cake layers can also be frozen without the frosting for up to 3 months. Let them cool completely, wrap them individually in plastic wrap, and then in foil. Thaw overnight on the countertop before assembling and frosting the cake.
Flourless Chocolate Cake
1K views · Apr 3, 2024 serrablog.com
This gluten-free flourless chocolate cake is a crowd-pleaser for all occasions and ages. 🧑🍳 INGREDIENTS: FOR THE CAKE 1½ sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter 6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped 1 teaspoon espresso powder/instant espresso (optional, for a more intense chocolate flavor) 1¼ cups granulated sugar 5 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ½ cup Dutch-process cocoa powder, sifted (see note) FOR THE TOPPING 1½ cups heavy whipping cream, cold 3 tablespoons Confectioners' sugar Cocoa powder and/or chocolate curls, for decorating. 🧑🍳 INSTRUCTIONS: Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave until hot and foamy (careful not to boil it, or it will splatter all over your microwave). Add the chocolate and espresso powder (if using), and whisk until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. (If necessary, pop the bowl back into the microwave for 20 seconds to melt any remaining bits of chocolate.) Add the granulated sugar to the melted chocolate mixture. Using an electric mixer, beat on low speed until well combined, about 30 seconds. Add the eggs one at a time, beating on low speed between each addition for about 20 seconds. Quickly beat in the vanilla. Add the cocoa powder and mix on low speed until evenly incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 32 to 35 minutes, or until the cake is puffed and set (it will likely crack a bit on top; that's normal and part of the charm of the cake). It's a little tricky to test for doneness, but if you insert a toothpick or cake tester into the center of the cake through one of the cracks, you should get wet crumbs. Let the cake cool on a rack for 15 minutes, then remove the ring on the springform pan and allow the cake to cool completely. No more than 3 hours before serving, make the topping. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or beaters), whip the heavy cream until slightly thickened. Sprinkle the confectioners' sugar over the cream and beat until soft, pillowy peaks form. Do not overbeat. Dollop and swirl the whipped cream decoratively over the cake. Sift a bit of cocoa powder over the cream and decorate with chocolate curls (if using). Note: The easiest way to sift the cocoa powder is to pass it through a fine mesh sieve when adding it to the cake batter. Make-Ahead Instructions: The base of the cake can be made up to one day ahead of time and stored in a covered container in the refrigerator. Allow the cake to come to room temperature before topping with whipped cream and serving. Leftover cake can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days (bring to room temperature before serving).
Molten Chocolate Cakes

Molten chocolate cakes, also known as lava cakes, are rich individual chocolate cakes with oozing molten centers. 🧑🍳 INGREDIENTS: 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, plus more for buttering the ramekins 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped, best quality such as Ghirardelli 2 large eggs 2 large egg yolks ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Pinch of salt 3 tablespoons all purpose flour FOR SERVING (OPTIONAL) Confectioners sugar, vanilla ice cream or sweetened whipped cream, and berries 🧑🍳 INSTRUCTIONS: Preheat the oven to 450°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Generously butter six 6-ounce ramekins (really be generous, and do not substitute non-stick cooking spray). Set the ramekins on a baking sheet. Melt the butter in a medium bowl in the microwave. Immediately add the chopped chocolate and stir until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted. If a few chunks remain, place the bowl back in the microwave for 20 seconds, then stir again. Repeat if necessary. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle or beaters, beat the eggs, egg yolks, brown sugar, vanilla and salt at high speed until thickened and pale, about 4 minutes. Add the melted chocolate mixture and flour to the egg mixture and fold with a rubber spatula until just combined (the chocolate sinks to the bottom so be sure to scrape it up into the batter). Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared ramekins and bake for 10 minutes, until the cakes are set and puffed over the edges of the ramekins. Let the cakes cool in the ramekins for 1 to 2 minutes; then, holding the hot ramekins with a dish towel, carefully invert the cakes onto dessert plates. They should pop right out, but you can run a thin-bladed knife around the edges if necessary. Serve immediately. (It's important not to let the cakes sit after baking, as the centers will continue to cook.) Make-Ahead Instructions: The batter can be spooned into the ramekins, covered and refrigerated for several hours before baking. Take them out of the fridge about 30 minutes before baking so they come to room temperature.
Chocolate Cupcakes

Sweet enough for kids but intensely chocolate enough for grown-ups, these are my go-to chocolate cupcakes. 🧑🍳 INGREDIENTS: FOR THE CUPCAKES 1½ cups all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled off with knife 1½ cups granulated sugar ¾ cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder, such as Hershey’s ¾ teaspoon salt 1½ teaspoons baking powder ¾ teaspoon baking soda 2 large eggs, lightly beaten ¼ cup vegetable oil ¾ cup sour cream 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ¾ cup boiling water FOR THE FROSTING 8 ounces milk or semi-sweet chocolate, broken into small pieces (see note) 2½ sticks (20 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened but still cool 1¼ cups Confectioners' sugar ¾ cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder, such as Hershey's Pinch salt ¾ cup light corn syrup 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🧑🍳 INSTRUCTIONS: FOR THE CUPCAKES Preheat the oven to 350°F and set two oven racks in the centermost positions. Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix on low speed for 30 seconds to combine. Add the eggs, oil, sour cream, and vanilla and mix on low speed until combined. Increase the speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Then, reduce the speed to low and gradually pour in the hot water (be careful to pour very slowly so it doesn’t splash). The batter will be soupy. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl; mix again until evenly combined. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tins (they should be about halfway full). Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the cupcakes are set and a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Cool the cupcakes in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. FOR THE FROSTING Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and cook in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until about three-quarters of the way melted. Stir, allowing the residual heat in the bowl to melt the remaining chocolate completely. (If necessary, place the chocolate back in microwave for a few seconds.) Set aside to cool. In a food processor, process the butter, sugar, cocoa powder and salt until smooth, about 30 seconds, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the corn syrup and vanilla and process until just combined, 5 to 10 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the lukewarm chocolate and pulse until smooth and creamy, 10 to 15 seconds. Do not overmix. The frosting can be used immediately or held at room temperature for up to 3 hours. When the cupcakes are completely cool, use a small offset spatula or butter knife to swirl the frosting lavishly over top. The cupcakes are best enjoyed fresh on the day they are made, but they will keep for two days stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
Red Velvet Cupcakes
376 views · Mar 29, 2024 serrablog.com
Charming? Check. Kitschy? Absolutely. But who can resist red velvet cupcakes with their subtle chocolate flavor, gorgeous hue, and lavish swirl of cream cheese frosting on top? 🧑🍳INGREDIENTS: FOR THE CUPCAKES 3 cups all purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off with a knife ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons Dutch-processed cocoa powder (see note) 1 teaspoon baking soda 1½ teaspoons baking powder ½ teaspoon salt 2 sticks (½ lb.) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for greasing the pans 1 (1-lb.) box light brown sugar (2¼ cups) 2 teaspoons Wilton Concentrated Red (No-taste) Gel Icing Color, or 3 tablespoons normal liquid red food coloring (see note) 2½ teaspoons vanilla extract 3 large eggs, at room temperature 1¾ cups buttermilk (see note) Cream Cheese Frosting 🧑🍳INSTRUCTIONS: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two cupcake pans with paper liners. Lightly grease the tops of the pans with butter or nonstick cooking spray (it's okay if the nonstick spray gets inside of the paper liners). In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Whisk until well combined and set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or large bowl if using a hand mixer), mix the butter, brown sugar, food coloring, and vanilla on low speed until combined (take care to mix slowly—you don't want the red food coloring to splatter all over your kitchen). Once blended, increase the speed to medium-high and beat until aerated and pale, about 2 minutes. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Reduce the speed to low and add one-third of the flour mixture, followed by half of the buttermilk. Add another third of the flour followed by the remaining buttermilk. Finish with the final third of the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then spoon the batter evenly into the prepared cupcake pans, filling almost to the top of the liners. Bake for 22 to 24 minutes, or until the cupcakes are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack for about 15 minutes, then remove the cupcakes from the pans and set on a wire rack to cool completely. When the cupcakes are cool, use a butter knife or small offset spatula to spread the frosting lavishly over top. The cupcakes are best enjoyed fresh on the day that they are baked. Note: In baked goods, Dutch-processed cocoa powder has a richer, more chocolatey flavor and darker color than natural unsweetened cocoa powder. It's worth getting for this recipe, but natural unsweetened cocoa powder may be substituted if necessary; just increase the cocoa powder to ½ cup and decrease the flour by 2 tablespoons. Keep in mind that the chocolate taste won't be quite as pronounced and your cupcakes will be a brighter red.
Baileys Cheesecake-Marbled Brownies

Spiked with Baileys Irish Cream, these chocolate brownies with a swirl of tangy cheesecake are out of this world. 🧑🍳INGREDIENTS: FOR THE CHEESECAKE BATTER 8 ounces cream cheese, preferably Philadelphia brand ⅓ cup sugar 1 large egg yolk ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract 2 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream 2 tablespoons all purpose flour FOR THE BROWNIE BATTER 5 tablespoons unsalted butter 4 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped 2 large eggs ½ cup granulated sugar ½ cup light brown sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ¼ cup Baileys Irish Cream ¼ teaspoon salt ¾ cup all purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off with a knife 2 tablespoons natural unsweetened cocoa powder. 🧑🍳 INSTRUCTIONS: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch baking pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray. FOR THE CHEESECAKE BATTER In a small bowl, microwave the cream cheese until soft, 20 to 30 seconds. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese with the sugar, egg yolk, vanilla, Baileys and flour until smooth. Set aside. FOR THE BROWNIE BATTER In a medium bowl, melt the butter in the microwave, about 1 minute. Immediately add the chopped chocolate and stir until melted and smooth. (If bits of chocolate remain, place the mixture back in the microwave for 20 seconds.) In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, Baileys and salt on medium speed until smooth. Add the chocolate/butter mixture and beat until well incorporated. Add the flour and cocoa powder and mix on low until just combined. Do not overmix. Transfer ½ cup of the brownie batter to a small microwave-safe bowl (it's fine to use the same bowl you melted the butter and chocolate in). Spread the remaining brownie batter in the prepared pan. Spread the cheesecake batter evenly over the brownie batter. Microwave the reserved ½ cup of brownie batter until warm and pourable, 15-20 seconds. Using a spoon, dollop the warm batter over the cheesecake layer, about 8 dollops (for the prettiest marble effect, leave as much space as possible between the dollops). Using a knife, swirl the brownie batter through cheesecake batter, making a marbled pattern. Don't overdo the marbling or the batters will get muddled. Bake until puffed, set in the center and just starting to brown around the edges, 40-45 minutes. (Don't undercook, or the brownies will be too wet in the center.) Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Cut the brownies into 12 or 16 squares, wiping the knife clean between slices. The brownies will seem very moist and fudgy at first, but will firm up once cut and left out for a bit. (The brownies may also be served warm with vanilla ice cream; just let them cool at least 30 minutes after baking.) Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The brownies can be frozen for up to 3 months. After they are completely cooled, double-wrap them securely with aluminum foil or plastic freezer wrap. Thaw overnight on the countertop before serving.

Grease a 9-inch springform or regular cake pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray. If using a regular cake pan, line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and grease again. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Using a handheld mixer with beaters or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well and scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Beat in the vanilla and rum. Don't worry if the batter looks grainy at this point; that's okay. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until just combined. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the chopped apples Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and even the top. Sprinkle evenly with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool on a rack in the pan. Once cool, run a blunt knife around the edges of the cake. If using a springform pan, remove the sides. If using a regular cake pan, carefully invert the cake onto the rack, remove the parchment paper, then gently flip the cake over and place right-side-up on a platter. Using a fine sieve, dust with confectioners' sugar (if using). Cake can be served warm or room temperature, plain or with lightly sweetened whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Freezer Friendly Instructions: The cake can be frozen for up to 3 months. After it is completely cooled, wrap it tightly with aluminum foil or freezer wrap.
