Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
  • 2 cups sugar (400 grams)
  • 1¾ cups all-purpose flour (210 grams)
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (64 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons King Arthur Flour Black Cocoa, optional (11 grams)
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda (12 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (4 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt (6 grams)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk (240 mL)
  • 1 cup strong black coffee (I used Green Mountain Coffee’s Vermont Country Blend) (240 mL)
  • ½ cup vegetable oil (120 mL)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (4 grams)
  • Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans or one 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or in a large bowl with an electric mixer, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa(s), baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix on low until dry ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  2. Add eggs, buttermilk, coffee, oil and vanilla. Beat on medium speed for about two minutes; the batter will be thin.
  3. Pour batter evenly into prepared pans.
  4. Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes for round pans, 35 to 40 minutes for rectangular pan or until wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  5. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks. Cool completely.
  6. Frost as desired. I used a simple and delicious Chocolate Buttercream Frosting from Savory Sweet Life. One batch was perfect for this chocolate layer cake.

Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
  • water
  • 2 oz cream cheese, softened (55 g)
  • ¼ cup peanut butter (60 g)
  • 3 ½ teaspoons whole milk, divided
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, divided
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar, plus 2 tablespoons, divided (40 g)
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • 1 ¼ cups whipped cream, divided (75 g)
  • 14 chocolate sandwich cookies, divided
  • 2.5 oz pudding mix, chocolate, 1 package (70 g)
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk, cold (360 mL)
  • 2 cups milk chocolate, melted (340 g)
  • 2 cups white chocolate, melted (340 g)
  • 2 cups dark chocolate, melted (340 g)
GARNISH
  • chopped nuts
  • 4 mini peanut butter cups
  • 12 raspberries
  • fresh mint leaf
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT
  • 12 popsicle sticks
Instructions
  1. Please be aware, you have to place the ice cube right in the chocolate as soon as you're able to remove it from its slot otherwise it will start to melt and the chocolate will not adhere.
  2. Fill a 12-cup muffin tin with water.
  3. Place a popsicle stick into each muffin cup.
  4. Freeze until solid.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, peanut butter, 1½ teaspoons milk, ¼ teaspoon vanilla, ¼ cup powdered sugar, and salt until smooth.
  6. Fold in ¼ cup of whipped cream with spatula. Set aside.
  7. Separate the cream from 12 chocolate sandwich cookies into a separate medium bowl.
  8. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, remaining 2 teaspoons milk, and remaining ¼ teaspoon vanilla to the bowl with the cream filling. Whisk until well-combined.
  9. Fold in the remaining cup of whipped cream with a spatula. Set aside.
  10. Transfer the cookies to a zip-top bag and break into crumbs with a rolling pin. Set aside.
  11. In a small bowl, combine the chocolate pudding mix and cold milk. Whisk for 2 minutes, then let sit for 3 minutes, until the pudding thickens.
  12. Remove the muffin tin from the freezer. Give the ice a minute to melt down just enough to remove each ice mold from the muffin cups.
  13. Dip 4 of the ice discs into the melted milk chocolate, making sure not to fully submerge the ice disc. Set the chocolate-dipped ice discs onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. Dip 4 of the ice discs in the melted white chocolate, and the remaining 4 discs in the melted dark chocolate.
  14. Once the chocolate has set, give the ice discs a minute to melt down slightly. Wiggle the ice disc out of the chocolate to reveal hollow chocolate cups.
  15. Pipe the peanut butter mousse into the milk chocolate cups. Top with chopped nuts and a mini peanut butter cup.
  16. Sprinkle chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs on the bottom of the white chocolate cups. Pipe the cookie cream filling on top of the crumbs. Garnish with more cookie crumbs and half of a chocolate sandwich cookie.
  17. Pipe the chocolate pudding mixture into the dark chocolate cups. Top each one with 3 raspberries and fresh mint leaves.
  18. Enjoy!
