Small Chocolate Cake Recipe with Raspberry Coulis
Description
The Small Chocolate Cake Recipe with Raspberry Coulis relies on commonly available ingredients including flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla. The method includes scalding the milk before mixing it with dry ingredients, which helps improve the batter's texture and enhances the cocoa flavor. After combining with oil, egg, and vanilla, the batter is poured into a greased cake pan dusted with cocoa powder to enrich the crust. The cake is baked at 350°F for about 30 to 31 minutes until it is set with a tender crumb inside. This creates a moist and subtly flavored chocolate cake base suitable for serving with tart toppings like raspberry coulis or cream.
The chocolate cake is straightforward and versatile for home bakers seeking a smaller chocolate dessert. Simply slicing and pairing it with tart berry sauces or whipped cream will provide balanced serving options. The moderate sweetness and cocoa bitterness blend well with fruit accompaniments for a balanced experience.
Ingredients
- ¾ c flour
- 1 c sugar
- ½ c cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 c milk
- ⅓ c vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350' F.
- In a medium size bowl, mix all dry ingredients together well.
- Heat the milk to scalding either in the microwave or a small pan, then pour into dry ingredients and mix gently but well.
- Beat egg and mix in oil and vanilla then add to cake batter and mix in well.
- Prepare an 8" or 9" round cake pan (I use a non-stick pan) by greasing lightly with margarine (or Crisco if you have it) and then dusting with cocoa powder.
- Pour batter into pan and bake 30 min, testing for doneness at end and adjust baking time as needed. (My oven is on the cooler side and took 31 minutes)
