I am trying to find a chocolate cake recipe I like. I have a very specific ultimate chocolate cake in my head. Luckily I've found a picture of it for those of you without remote telepathy. I'd like to find it without making more than maybe four cakes. Yes, I know there's a recipe with the picture, but I'm not willing to trust it.
So once again, I rounded up several cake recipes from my usual sources, plus a couple that are really popular.
I indulged a couple of prejudices in selecting the recipes. I only selected recipes that use cocoa, and not chocolate. Also, I excluded recipes that use sour cream, mostly because I don't know how to account for its behavior in the cake.
I included different categories in this table, based on the similarities of the recipies. I've simplified by converting all ingredients to ounces using the KAF Weight Chart. As previously, I adjusted each recipe to make the same size cake, based on the amount of flour.
| Recipe | Flour | Cocoa | Fat | Sugar | Liquid | Yolks | Whites |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cake Bible Butter | 10 | 2.7 | 7.8 | 12.7 | 9.7 | 3 | 3 |
| Cake Bible Fudge | 10 | 2.9 | 6.1 | 13.3 | 11.4 | 2.9 | 2.9 |
| Cake Bible Devil | 10 | 2.5 | 7.8 | 12.9 | 9.8 | 3.3 | 3.3 |
| KAF Chocolate | 10 | 2.3 | 5.8 | 12.7 | 12.5 | 4.2 | 4.2 |
| KAF Fudge | 10 | 2.6 | 6 | 16 | 11.4 | 4.6 | 4.6 |
| ATK Velvet | 10 | 2.4 | 7.7 | 14 | 12.8 | 3.2 | 3.2 |
| Hershey | 10 | 2.6 | 4 | 16 | 9.1 | 2.3 | 2.3 |
| BakeWise | 10 | 2.8 | 8.9 | 24.4 | 12.7 | 2.5 | 7.6 |
| Suzanne's | 10 | 2.3 | 5.2 | 12.4 | 10 | 3.3 | 3.3 |
| Cookie Madness | 10 | 3.8 | 8 | 17.5 | 20 | 2.5 | 2.5 |
I think I see another taste test in my future!
