Dutch Oven Chocolate Cake!
Being a feedfeed editor means that I was gifted this lovely Staub cocotte featured in this post. I was so happy to use it to make a cake for you guys, which was (heavily) adapted by this Sweet Paul recipe.
Ingredients:
- 8 TB unsalted butter
- 8 oz good quality milk or dark chocolate
- 2 egg
- 1 TB pure vanilla extract
- 1 TB Grand Marnier
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 TB cornstarch
- 1 TB baking powder
- 1 1/3 cup AP flour
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup flavorless oil
- 1/4 cup whole milk
Directions:
- Grease a small dutch oven or a 10 inch springform pan with butter and flour
- Preheat oven to 350*F
- In a double boiler, combine your butter and chocolate, stirring occasionally until fully melted
- Allow to cool slightly, add in your eggs, vanilla and liquor
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together cocoa, cornstarch, baking powder and flour
- In a separate measuring bowl, whisk together jam, sugar, oil, and milk
- Now, alternate between adding the milk mixture and the chocolate mixture until all ingredients are combined in the flour
- Pour batter into your prepared pan and bake
- For the dutch oven: keep covered, will be gooey inside and ready at around an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes
- For the springform pan: will be less gooey on the inside and ready at about 50 minutes
