Recipe: Love goddess cake

Total time: 2 hours

 

Servings: 10 to 12

 

Filling

 

1/4cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream

 

3 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped

 

1/2 teaspoon ancho chili powder

 

1/8teaspoon chipotle chili powder

 

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

 

1. In a small pan, bring the cream to a simmer over high heat. Place the chocolate in a medium bowl and pour the hot cream over it. Let the mixture stand until the chocolate softens, about 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth.

 

2. Whisk in the chili powders. Let the mixture stand until completely cooled, about half an hour. With an electric mixer at medium speed, beat in the butter, one tablespoon at a time, until smooth. Do not overbeat. Cover with plastic wrap and keep at room temperature until ready to use.

 

Whipped cream frosting

 

2 cups whipping cream

 

1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted

 

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

 

1. Pour the whipping cream into a chilled medium mixing bowl. With an electric mixture on medium speed, slowly beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla. Turn the mixer to high and beat until stiff. Do not overbeat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.

 

Cake

 

 

 

1/2 tablespoon butter, for the pans

 

1 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder

 

1 cup boiling water

 

1 cup water at room temperature

 

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

 

2 teaspoons baking soda

 

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

 

1/2 teaspoon salt

 

1 teaspoon ancho chili powder

 

1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

 

2 1/4 cups granulated sugar

 

4 large eggs, at room temperature

 

2 vanilla beans, ground in a coffee grinder (or 2 teaspoons extract)

 

Filling

 

Whipped cream frosting

 

Edible flower petals for

 

garnish

 

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter two 9-inch round pans (2 inches deep). Line the pans with parchment and dust with flour. Tap out the excess.

 

2. Whisk the cocoa and boiling water in medium bowl until smooth. Whisk in the room-temperature water and let stand until the mixture cools.

 

3. Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and chili powder.

 

4. Beat the butter and sugar together with an electric mixture at high speed until the mixture is light in color and texture, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then the ground vanilla beans or extract.

 

5. On low speed, add the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with two additions of the cocoa mixture, scraping the bowl often until smooth.

 

6. Spread the batter evenly in the pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40 to 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then remove the cakes from the pans and cool completely.

 

7. Place one cake layer upside-down on a cake plate. Spread with all of the chocolate filling. Top with the other cake layer, right side up.

 

8. Spread a thin layer of the whipped cream frosting over the top and sides of the cake to affix any crumbs to the cake so they won't mar the white frosting. Then continue to frost the cake, trying not to disturb the first coat. Refrigerate (up to 8 hours ahead). If chilled, let stand 30 minutes before serving. Just before serving, decorate with flower petals.
