Moist Chocolate Cake (Bread Machine)
Yep, you read that right, cake in a bread machine. This recipe is from the cookbook that came with my bread machine, and I will say it is spot on as chocolate, and moist! No frosting needed! I made this on 4 Apr 2017 and it is excellent! Your bread machine needs a cake function in order to make this. I do use dry weight measurements in grams on a digital scale and liquid measurement in ml, ounces and cup measurement are provided as well.
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup butter, room temperature, 3/4 of standard block, (1 1/2 sticks)
- 180 grams sugar, (6.35 oz)
- 200 ml evaporated milk, (.83 cups)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 100 grams all purpose flour, (3.53 oz)
- 50 grams cocoa powder, (1.76 oz)
Instructions
- Place the ingredients into the pan of the bread machine in the order listed, select Cake function, press start. About 1 1/2 hours later, it will be done.
- Remove the pan from the bread machine and set it on the counter to cool for about 30 minutes to an hour. Once it has cooled, get a rack ready on the counter. Now fold up 2-3 paper towels, you are going use hand to hold the top of the cake, while you turn the pan over with your other hand by hold the attachment at the bottom of the pan, gently shake the pan and the cake will drop from the pan and paddle into your hand. Set the pan down, place the rack on the cake and turn the cake and rack over. Now your cake is on the rack and right side up, allow the cake to completely cool.
- Slice, and use a large spatula to pick up and set on plates, or it will fall apart. Top with some whipped cream, enjoy! Here is a slice served with two brownies.
Notes
Low cost.
