This is THE moistest cake you will ever eat, with great form and texture. It's what a Hostess cupcake dreams of looking, feeling and tasting like when it grows up. If you don't mind coffee it makes a VERY NICE difference. Still delicious without it, though. The original recipe called for light brown sugar. Go dark, trust me on this one.It was also originally an Air Fryer recipe (cover with foil for 35 mins then bake uncovered for 20 more).Chocolate glaze over the top makes it Hostess.

@StevenDouglas Interesting. Looks very similar to a cake I used to make. It was ALWAYS the one requested by the family for a birthday cake. Agreed it is incredibly moist - and very popular. I don't like coffee but i would recommend adding it to the recipe.

@StevenDouglas Two changes Steven and I am a chef. Olive oil is better by FAR than vegetable oil, and half and half or full fat raw milk will make this cake SING!!!! Also maybe use 2 tsp cream of tartar and eliminate the baking powder. It will rise link the sun!

@oystergirl I'll try the cream of tartar, thank you. I do use full cream milk (not raw), but half and half and whipping cream are REALLY expensive here, so I avoid it.Part of the magic for me comes from a thought I had when I was young. I was looking at a pantry chock full of "ordinary" ingredients and lamenting the fact that I was so limited in what I could do. Out of ignorance."A chef could do wonders here, without resorting to ANYTHING strange or rare. I SO SUCK!"Love fixing that.

ADDENDUM:I do a little cheat with this recipe. I did it to shorten the baking time. It works well if anyone wants to try it. After the batter is ready for pouring I pour it into a non-stick skillet on LOW HEAT. I stire constantly with a silicone spatula and bring the batter ALMOST to a boil. IT THICKENS VERY FAST. WHEN THAT HAPPENS, STOP!I remove it from the heat immediately, stir to incorporate all fat lumps, pour into the baking pan, and bake. Watch it carefully, test often.

@Sabina Yeah I was taken by how THIN the batter was to begin with and how long it took to bake in an air fryer. It's just to shorten the baking time, but it's not exact. Once you do it that way you MUST watch to make sure you don't overbake it.

@tacit I consider myself fortunate not to have an extremely discerning palate. Being part rat/part cockroach has it's advantages.325F means the oil can never crack, and I don't know if I could even tell much difference regardless what oil is used. So, whatever cooking oil I have on hand "works fine lasts a long time".

@ConnieinVA @oystergirl I'm a linguist, but my actual knowledge base is strange and varied, based on accumulated interests. Electronics, geophysics, fluid dynamics (hydro and aero) and Austrian economics are some, always starting with something specific I wanted to better understand. Perfecting and simplifying the art of comfort foods has always been a passion. Mom instilled that in me when I was little.

@ToddPlant IT BAKES. BE PATIENT.I made this cake at least three dozen times before trying the skillet thing the last THREE times. I didn't include that in the original recipe post because it's not exact. The recipe as I originally saw it warned that the batter would be thin, and not to worry about it. So I didn't. It didn't LOOK like it would work, but it did. Every time. Beautifully.

@CYVH1 VERY similar, especially in density and moistness, but because all the black magic cake recipes I've seen call for white (granulated or castor) sugar, it will not come close to the unique flavor profile of this recipe. Need that dark brown sugar and its molasses content for that distinctive "What kind of voodoo chocolate magic is THIS?!" flavor.

@oystergirl I make a great roast chicken and turkey using mom's recipe, but I will def check his out. I stick with kosher style, so will not use butter with fowl or meat. The Chicken Adobo uses Coconut Milk, so it's Kosher.

@BlizzyBuzz If it's a kosher chicken, it's already brined. It's part of the kashering process (and it is spelled "kashering" in English...not Koshering.) I do brine non-kosher chicken. It makes a big flavor difference. @oystergirl

@HectorHeathcote that's funny! But no, brine chicken...especially chicken breasts because they can get dry really quickly. Brining gives them flavor and moisture. You can look up the details online easily. I usually don't brine more than an hour or two, but many people brine longer. That takes too much forethought for me. I'm more a "lets see what's in the freezer to make for later' kind of person. @BlizzyBuzz @oystergirl

@wziminer @StevenDouglas Yes, those two cookbooks will do you just right. IF you like more vegetarian fare, he also has how to cook everything vegetable.

@oystergirl I order pastrami from Katz' every few years. Free shipping if you spend over $100. One 5 lb pastrami and 2 knishes will do it. I remember going to Goldberg's Deli in NY,NY in Vegas. The (obviously) Midwestern couple in front of us ordered (wait for it) Pastrami on White Bread with Mayo. Just... no. @BlizzyBuzz

@StevenDouglas I'm trying this for the first time. I rechecked recipe, as the batter was do thin, I was sure I'd read the amount of flour wrong, but it seems to be raising nicely and it smells heavenly!

@Give_Me_Liberty I should have mentioned that the batter IS very thin. Doesn't matter, the flour in it thickens up and it all bakes up just fine. Enjoy!Remember, take it out while the knife/toothpick stays a LITTLE wet/dirty coming out.

@Give_Me_Liberty @StevenDouglas Looks great!I've been binge watching the "Great British Baking Show" and as a result been spending more time baking. I'm more of a savory cook, but occasionally get the bug and go nuts for a few months.Bread (and more breads) was my last baking binge in the kitchen. Very satisfying.I made Steven's cake last night because it was an interesting unique recipe. Glad I did - love it!

@StevenDouglas @Give_Me_Liberty I have a favorite, unique chocolate cake recipe, but I’m 99% sure one main reason it’s such a crowd pleaser is the type of cocoa powder (Bensdorp Dutch). Have you experimented w/ the type of cocoa you used?

@SabinaUpdate. Just made it again. Pre-thickening in the skillet for a couple of minutes cut the baking time in HALF. I took it out within minutes after the top stopped bubbling. Best result yet.

@Linnie Years ago I attempted to make the perfect brownie, from scratch. Experimented w/ several cocoa powders and ended up with ‘Bensdorp’ from Holland which is simply amazing.I purchased it from King Arthur Baking (here) https://tinyurl.com/15f2zqxi but others carry it too. BTW, if memory serves Trader Joe’s cocoa is Dutch process too, but not as good as Bensdorp.

@wziminer @HectorHeathcote @BlizzyBuzz @oystergirl He has several turkey brine recipes. Two call for all kinds of "signature" crap that I wasn't interested in (for me it's always the simple things that take my breath away). The one I called THE best was THE SIMPLEST. It's the one in his Deep Fried Turkey recipe.Here:https://altonbrown.com/recipes/deep-fried-turkey/

@wziminer @HectorHeathcote @BlizzyBuzz @oystergirl Better, to save time:(for a 13- to 14-pound turkey, giblets removed)6 qts hot water1 lb kosher salt1 lb dark brown sugar6 lbs icePlace hot water, salt, and brown sugar into a 5-gallon bucket. Stir until all is dissolved.Add ice, stir until cool.Lower turkey into bucket until fully immersed (weigh down if needed).Cover, set in cool dry place for 8-16 hrs.Remove, rinse, pat dry, and keep at room temp at 30 mins prior to cooking.

@wziminer @HectorHeathcote @BlizzyBuzz @oystergirl I followed the above recipe once at my brother-in-laws house. He did the oven turkey, I handled the deep fry. Something about that brown sugar (AGAIN). Best tasting, juiciest turkey I'd ever eaten. Everyone, without exception, agreed.PART of that was because of deep frying, but A LOT of it was because of the enhanced flavor due to the dark brown sugar brine. AND SO SIMPLE!

@StevenDouglasAre you from the south? I only ask because we went to my brother's house in NC for Thanksgiving and she made a Turkey with apricot glaze and while it was good, it was weird. She also made a sweet potato casserole that was sweeter than a pie. Most of the stuff was sweet, and I am used to SAVORY with my Thanksgiving. Big difference in flavor profiles from North to South. It's all good, just different. @wziminer @HectorHeathcote @BlizzyBuzz

@ngoja @wziminer @HectorHeathcote @BlizzyBuzz @oystergirl Turkey fried whole. The rig I used looked like this (propane gas tank not shown). Tripod crane used to lower the turkey into the hot oil.Condensed Alton:Bring oil temp to 250ºF, slowly lower the bird, then raise temp to 350ºF. After 35 minutes, raise turkey and check breast temp until 151ºF, then remove from oil and let rest for 30 minutes prior to carving. Bird reaches internal temperature of 161ºF due to carry-over cooking.

@oystergirl @wziminer @HectorHeathcote @BlizzyBuzz Again, just like the tiny amount of sugar in the biscuits, don't be fooled by the brown sugar for the turkey. There is NOTHING about it afterwards that says "sweet".I'm not from the south. My childhood was spent in Ohio, my teens in Northern California. I am a savory guy as well, especially when it comes to Thanksgiving and Christmas. I LOVE apricots, but as a glaze for turkey? HARD PASS.

@wziminer @oystergirl @HectorHeathcote @BlizzyBuzz Molasses (dark brown sugar) is, to me, a "savory of sweets". That, along with the coffee and the baking soda gives the cake a very deep, dark flavor, and I don't mean the "dark chocolate".

@wziminer @Phokencougie @oystergirl @StevenDouglas @HectorHeathcote @BlizzyBuzz @68sawtooth Being a former NY'er - when YOU say Upstate, you probably mean anything north of the boroughs, yes? I live in Central NY. Technically, Upstate NY is far further north from where I live. You're almost getting into Canada if you're in Upstate NY.

@ngoja @oystergirl @wziminer @HectorHeathcote @BlizzyBuzz Yes, the other big mistake people make is trying to drop even a room temp turkey directly into 350F oil. Any large turkey-to-oil temperature difference is the main problem.Have to SLOWLY lower the turkey while the oil's at around 250F, THEN raise the oil temperature.

@SabinaI've made it in many different pans and it all turns out great. Just remember that it rises to double its poured height. I like the loaf pan because it's more area for the almost juicy inside to develop (if you don't overbake it). Get it out soon after it finishes rising and the top stops bubbling.

@phoebedrobinson Both and all. Night cake, kids eating, no coffee. There's enough caffeine in the cocoa powder as it is. Icing is whatever I feel like doing in the moment. That moist cake really doesn't need it. Powdered sugar in a sifter shaker also works just fine, lasts a long time!

@vasepot Thank you for that, Nathan. This recipe is batting a thousand, even with the few fallen cakes that still got rave reviews. There's something about molasses and coffee that turns chocolate into an exotic ambrosia. If I leave either one out, it's just "very good". That's all.

@ppdsol @vasepot The molasses is in the dark brown sugar. Loaded with it.The dark brown sugar I buy here in Vietnam is WET with molasses. You have to squeeze the brown sugar out of the bag. If yours isn't like that, add a tablespoon or two of dark brown molasses to your wet ingredients. You won't regret it.

@KittyDugre No, coffee is optional, you can use plain water instead. The coffee just gives the chocolate a deeper flavor (without tasting coffee).Hershey's syrup should work fine as it's made from cocoa powder, but it has sugar in it so the cake will be a bit sweeter. Try 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the chocolate syrup and pull back a tablespoon or three of the dark brown sugar and a few tablespoons of the water?

@Katiedid It is VERY LIQUID. Don't worry about that. Trust it. If you preheat the batter in a skillet, on low heat with a silicon spatula constantly scrape-stirring at the bottom, you'll see it rapidly start to thicken at one point. Remove it immediately from the heat, scrape all back into the mixing bowl and whisk out any lumps before pouring into your baking pan. You'll cut the baking time dramatically - my cakes take 18-20 minutes to bake after doing that.

@KittyDugre Beautiful, Kitty! Well done!I made two yesterday. On the second one I tried Hershey's cocoa powder. I had no idea how much it's changed over the years. It's lighter. Like, light brown.The quality commercial powder I buy in bulk is very dark, very bitter, and delicious in everything. The cake with the Hershey's powder was brown and…good. That's it. Just…really good. The cakes with the dark powder come out black and beyond delicious.Using Hershey's for icing only now.

@Klang First, extremely dense and the oil makes it moist. The combination of dark cocoa powder, molasses from the brown sugar, and coffee all combine as an amazingly rich and exotic tasting chocolate - one I can't compare with anything else. My neighbors are all addicted to it now, several asking us to sell it. So I taught my wife how to make it and she sold two cakes and a dozen cupcakes today.Cost: $1.70 (38k VND)Price: $5.30 (120k VND)Wife doesn't know what she's gotten herself into.

@Klang My wife is getting a lot of excited responses from many - and it's scaring that little simple introverted country girl to death!I'm excited because I get to introduce her and coach her through another part of life. Welcome to the world of small business, baby, and learn what it is to have a niche - something specific that people can only get from one source.

@Christopher3D @KittyDugre Thank you, that's great! And the coconut milk had to be a nice touch, coconut and chocolate are sympatico!

@Christopher3D @KittyDugre A family member and someone here had their cake fall. In both cases I suspected expired baking powder/soda or temp lower than 325, but wanted to fool-proof it as much as I could anyway. After experimenting, the addition of another egg and the increase in temp meant a cake that baked faster, never fell (even when shook hard), and was a little more dense and pudding-like (a great feature of this cake). I've used up to four eggs with great results.

Oh, and I use 3/4 cup milk now and and 1 T concentrated coffee. no water.
