Just one questions, folks, as I attempt Ina’s (Beatty’s) chocolate cake: I can ONLY find low fat buttermilk, i.e. 1.5%
Is that all there is these days and is that what you use?
I went to 3 supermarkets and a healthfood store. ALL are 1.5% butterfat, calling it light cultured buttermilk.

Hola! I was surfing for inspiration on how to decorate a chocolate cake for my niece this coming week. The chocolate cake has a silky chocolate frosting and it’s not really meant to be touched once iced. UNLESS i chill it a bit once iced. It happens to be that the cake I am making is this one you posted on. Ina’s! I have been baking this chocolate cake non stop for months because it has become my family’s favorite (and mine)! You were right on the mark with how superbly moist and fresh kept for days this cake is. (Although, it doesn’t last more than a day and a 1/2 in our home.) My Sis has even told me that it’s become such a favorite in her home that when I bake them a whole cake, they each tend to hide slices around the house when they’re at work so that no one grabs the last slice!

I do have a question for you though… I’m not sure if you’re recipe above is her “silky chocolate” icing version or her chocolate buttercream version. It looks like the buttercream one. Why do you suggest not using chips? Don’t laugh, but i have been using only Baker’s semi-sweet chocolate bars because when I first attempted the recipe, it was all i was able to find locally. AND EVERYONE LOVED IT! but now, i want to use Callebaut for my niece’s and since I typically only shop at King Arthur’s, they only have chips. So should I not use chips??

Warm regards,
Gen

Just found your site!! Good stuff – both the baking and picture taking. In my way of thinking the picture taking is the hardest, but it really helps us to see the steps along the way the the finished product. I’ve found it hard to make things when not knowing what it should look like. Also, thank you for sharing Ina’s chocolate cake recipe. I have used another recipe of hers – again found on the internet – which is a peanut butter frosting for a chocolate cake. Oh, it is delicious also. Get lots of raves. Thank you, again.

Thank you so much for posting this recipe – it’s the most wonderful chocolate cake recipe I’ve ever tried. I just used it to make 2 eight inch cakes, stacked and frosted. It was a huge hit.

Takes care of my chocolate fix!

It’s a ‘Barefoot Contessa’ recipe, so the fact that you made it and then blogged about it is ridiculous. People are giving you credit for making a recipe! You bloggers are so ridiculous. Try to do something original and then write about it.

I was looking up Ina’s recipe, and found you on top of the list. Not only did I find what has been called the best chocolate cake recipe in the universe, you also inspired me to finally pick out my blog template and pull out my camera to start posting real estate stuff in my area. Thanks so much for the double inspiration! I’ll be back.
