Cooking

Pre-heat the oven to 175 degrees, the form 24 see generally smeared with butter, sprinkled with flour, cover the bottom with parchment paper. About measures: 1 Cup - Cup of 200 ml., all measure it.

First mix the dry ingredients that is flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, vanilla, baking powder and salt.

A few words about the cocoa powder. Use only tested and high-quality cocoa, otherwise you risk to get a cake with "sand", that squeaks on your teeth (not a pleasant feeling, I tried). In order to save money, some manufacturers use cocoa low quality, that is, the powder of cocoa beans + husks from the beans. Cheap and cheerful, unforgettable experience. I use "Gold label" factory "Red October".

And quite a bit about baking soda. I only use the special soda for baking, here is how it looks, you can use any other, but not one that is sold in a pack of bricks (the same one universal, and throat to cure, and a pan with a plate to wash). Adding the baking soda, you will be sure that you do not get its taste in the finished dish and it works beyond expectations.

Next. In a large bowl sift our dry ingredients. Add the sugar and whisk mix everything together, a couple of movements will be sufficient.

Then the wet ingredients. Buttermilk - a miracle, it is used all American cooker for baking. Can't find in our stores, only on the agricultural markets. I usually substitute yogurt, low-fat, the effect is the same. Now decided to try to make something like buttermilk. Took milk and added one tablespoon of lemon juice (can use vinegar), you need to wait 10 min. and pseudo-buttermilk ready. The recipe worked perfectly.

Mix the buttermilk (or yogurt), egg, butter. All ingredients at room temperature, it is very important for excellent baking.

Coffee. Always fresh, ground-cooked just. I've done with a soluble (I always want to simplify everything), and then with a fresh difference, of course, amazing. And the taste and aroma of the highest class.

Mix wet ingredients with dry ingredients with mixer on slowest speed, whip is not necessary, you only need to mix. The batter will seem runny, but it will be even thinner, be strong.

Turn hot coffee, pour on slow speed of mixer and beat in all at least work with a mixer.

The dough is wonderful, the aroma, the consistency, do not be afraid, everything will be very, very good. Try it a little bit, barely restrained so as not to drink the whole bowl, so be ready, keep yourself in hand. In the oven for 35 minutes Readiness check with a wooden skewer (slightly pretentious?), well, a toothpick.

Here is so handsome. Color, shape, aroma - well, everything in it perfectly. 5 min. in the form, then remove and grill until cool.

Unique taste this cake last but not least owes this cream cream. Bonkers, sorry. Mix cheese and icing sugar + a tablespoon lemon juice. All ingenious is simple. But this cream, I would eat it for Breakfast, lunch and dinner. By the way, I use it very often for baking.

Cover the cooled cake with cream and top with berries. It does not matter if strawberries and raspberries is sweet enough, the sweetness of the cream will save them, and their acidity will expand the taste range. Well what can I say, it's my favorite pie, the taste of magic. Butter cream in combination with this rich chocolate cake, aaaaaah, this is a must try, not to describe the same. Love for life, to the last crumb. And yet, if you increase all the ingredients by 2 times, work the dough into the cake 2 and cake full. So here goes :)
