Proof's justly famous chocolate espresso cake is three exquisite layers of cake, crémeux and buttercream, topped with bittersweet chocolate glaze. It is a simple cake, refined for a layer cake, and not as sweet as most of the cakes in that genre.
Proof’s justly famous chocolate espresso cake is three exquisite layers of cake, crémeux and buttercream, topped with bittersweet chocolate glaze. It is a simple cake, refined for a layer cake, and not as sweet as most of the cakes in that genre.
When assembling the cake, there are a few caveats: Use the expresso simple syrup to brush on the layers of cake. This gives you an exceedingly moist crumb without compromising the structure. After layering, crumb coat your cake. In other words, spackle on a thin layer of frosting to the outside of the completed cake to seal in the crumbs, and then chill or freeze it.
The buttercream is best made the day of assembly but can be covered and refrigerated up to 3 days before using . The glaze can be made up to 3 days ahead. Store covered in the refrigerator. Warm the glaze to pourable consistency before using.Amy Scattergood is the former editor of the Los Angeles Times Food section and a former member of the Food reporting team.
