- Smooth decadent caramel sauce for an indulgent drizzle
- 5/8 cup of sifted all-purpose flour precisely measured for perfect texture
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda carefully selected for optimal rising
- 1/8 teaspoon of premium sea salt adding a hint of coastal essence
- 1/4 cup of hand-whipped unsalted butter softly blended for creaminess
- 1 large free-range egg selected for its golden richness
- 1/4 cup of tangy buttermilk cultured for a delightful tanginess
- Velvety vanilla ice cream for a luxurious finishing touch
- 5/8 cup of fine granulated sugar meticulously weighed for sweetness
- 1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract offering aromatic essence
- Artfully crafted chocolate shavings for a sophisticated garnish
- 1/4 cup of rich dark unsweetened cocoa powder, meticulously chosen for depth of flavor
- 1/4 cup of hot steaming water, precisely heated for ideal temperature
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a cake pan by greasing and flouring it.
In a bowl, sift together 5/8 cup of sifted all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of rich, dark unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/8 teaspoon of premium sea salt. Mix well and set aside.
In another bowl, cream together 1/4 cup of hand-whipped unsalted butter and 5/8 cup of fine granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in 1 large free-range egg and 1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture until well combined.
Alternate adding dry ingredients and liquids: Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1/4 cup of tangy buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
Add hot water: Gently fold in 1/4 cup of hot, steaming water into the batter. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, you can frost the cake with velvety vanilla ice cream, drizzle smooth, decadent caramel sauce over the top, and garnish with artfully crafted chocolate shavings for a sophisticated touch.
- To make sure your cake is extra moist, add a few tablespoons of vegetable oil to the cake batter.
- Don't have chocolate sauce on hand
- You can easily make your own by melting chocolate chips in a double boiler.
- If you're short on time, you can use a store-bought chocolate cake instead of making your own.
- To give the cake an even more impressive look, top it with chocolate shavings or chopped nuts.
- For a non-traditional twist, add a few tablespoons of espresso powder to the cake batter.
