00:02 Okay, we're incorporating the dry bowl of ingredients and the liquid bowl of ingredients.
00:16 You can see this is a very thick batter.
00:19 There's a reason for that.
00:21 We're going to add a secret ingredient.
00:27 And that is, it's 120 grams of boiling water.
00:32 So, you pour it in to measure it, but be careful that you don't splash it up on yourself when you're trying to mix it.
00:40 There we go. Now, you want to start slow because it's boiling hot water.
00:53 You don't want to splash it up on yourself, so be careful.
00:57 Let me take the scale out.
01:06 Chocolate on my fingers.
01:11 Not the worst thing I've ever had on my fingers.
01:16 So, go ahead and slowly mix it until you get most of it incorporated, and then you can start beating it.
01:26 Whipping it, I should say.
01:29 It's nice and thick and creamy.
01:34 Okay, this is your chocolate cake batter.
01:40 I have the pan here, and I pre-sprayed it.
01:53 The bottom's sprayed, this is not sprayed, and the side is not sprayed so that the cake can hold on to it and climb up the sides and thereby get a better loft.
02:06 See, there really wasn't that much to the cake. You didn't have to beat it.
02:12 It's pretty easy. You get to use up some of your sourdough starter if it's leftover and you have too much, and you just go, "Oh, I'm just going to make a quick cake."
02:21 You could make this into a layer cake or cupcakes.
02:28 The thing about it is that it's just really good. It's a really delicious cake.
02:35 You could add a little bit more chocolate, get away with more chocolate in it, if you want to make it a darker, richer chocolate.
02:54 This particular pan takes about 45 minutes for the cake to be done in the center of the oven at 350 degrees.
03:03 Okay, so our chocolate cake is finished. It took 50 minutes to finish this time.
03:11 However, it's just perfectly done, and when you put a knife in, it comes out nice and clean.
03:19 I'll let the cake cool for a few minutes, maybe four to five minutes, and then I'll loosen it and turn it out so it can cool completely before we make our whipped cream chocolate frosting.
03:31 Okay, it's been five minutes. Go ahead and get this cake out. It's still nice and warm.
03:41 [scraping]
03:45 The great thing about these particular cakes is you can just pull them right out.
03:57 Okay, so I'll cut this off the bottom.
04:07 [cutting]
04:32 So there's our finished cake. As soon as it cools completely, I'm going to go ahead and make the whipped cream frosting, which is made with real whipping cream, some more of the semi-sweet chocolate chips, some real vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
04:48 Okay, it's time to make the whipping cream chocolate frosting.
