You seriously over-prepare pans. Cakes will pull away from the sides when they are done so all you really need is to ensure that it won't stick to the bottom. A round of parchment paper is enough to do that. I've baked many different kinds of cakes on Magic Line aluminum pans and have only ever put down round parchment to "prepare" my pan — I've never had any issues with sticking. I keep a supply of pre-cut 6, 8, 9, 10 inch rounds of parchment purchased from baking supply stores to make "prep" even faster.
The best pastry chef on tv. And she’s pretty easy on the eyes too!
I've learned so many valuable cooking tips from your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I was wondering if you could share a video of you cooking with KHAL
I would die for Claire
We can now appreciate why a good cake costs $35!
What an incredible job. So well thought out and explained. Thank you.
This looks like Alvin Zhou's chocolate cake, but now we have an actual recipe!🤩
this is different than her recipe in the cookbook
I find american cakes to be too high, too many layers=each piece is more cake than I want with my cup of coffee. Especially when it's this sweet. Thankfully easily modified.
This sounds very similar to an old recipe my grandmother had but it called for buttermilk. I’m curious what the difference would be with buttermilk
I plan on making this. It looks amazing! Do you do anything Gluten free? I would love a Gluten Free chocolate cake.
Thanks for having me! For additional dessert recipes, be sure to visit my YouTube channel.
I didn't know sugar was considered a wet ingredient, but makes sense considering it melts when mixed with liquids.
Love you Claire…have tried lots of chocolate cakes before, this looks amazing can’t wait to bake!
could I reduce the amount of sugar?
WAY too much icing!!
This us a recipe that I'm gong to try but was wondering how much sugar can a cut without
affecting the recipe.
22:48 when you just KNOW they edited out a "MMM" from Claire @ first taste 😊
Where's the "Mmm"?!?! 22:49
By the way you can’t get recipe unless you have a paid membership
