Don't think that natural yeast can only make bread. The cake made by this recipe tastes a little like brownies, but it tastes more fluffy and lighter than brownies; it is moist but not heavy. The natural yeast seeds only play a role in increasing the acidity of the flour, improving the tissue, and enhancing the taste. They do not need to ferment for 8 hours to expand the batter, so you can use the yeast seeds that have been refrigerated in the refrigerator for several days to be "discarded"-It also solves the problem of us TX who are unwilling to waste and are unwilling to discard the yeast seeds to a large extent.

Steps for chocolate cake

  • Make  step 0
    1
    Mix the natural yeast seeds, milk and low flour well and let stand for 2 hours. Just use chopsticks or wooden spoons. The dough is very humid and easy to mix well.
  • Make  step 1
    2
    Mix sugar, salt, baking soda, and cocoa powder, mix well slightly, add oil, and beat well until slightly thick.
  • Make  step 2
    3
    Add eggs one by one and beat well.
  • Make  step 3
    4
    After the eggs are completely added, the liquid becomes very thick.
  • Make  step 4
    5
    The dough may not expand much after standing. I have this because the temperature is relatively high and the yeast used is very active, so it nearly doubled after 2 hours.
  • Make  step 5
    6
    Patiently mix the batter and the liquid from step 4 well. It will be difficult at first, but it will smooth out soon.

    I poured the mixed cake paste into the mold, and I used a hollow Qi Feng mold slightly larger than 8 inches.
  • Make  step 7
    8
    Preheat the oven to 176 degrees, middle and lower layers, for about 45 minutes. If it is a small cake mold, shorten the time appropriately. After about 30 minutes, it expands well in the oven.

    After roasting, there was a very crispy layer on the top, which was quickly eliminated by someone in my family and I. The remaining soft cake expanded gratefully. After taking a rough measurement, it was also 10 centimeters tall without the top.

    The sugar content in the original recipe is as much as 260g. I reduced it to 150g. I feel that I can reduce it by another 10g. Everyone, TX, adjust the sugar amount according to your own taste.
