""He actually served this cake to me once at dinner and I just begged him for the recipe," Garten said on an episode featuring the cake. "I didn't have to beg very hard.""
""His grandfather had a milk route in Pennsylvania Dutch country and Beatty used to bake this cake to take to the customers on his milk deliveries," Mathews wrote. "I urge you to try this cake with a tall glass of icy cold milk. It will take your breath away.""
"To make Beatty's Chocolate Cake, you'll need: 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour (plus more for pans) 2 cups sugar 1 cup freshly-brewed hot coffee 1 cup buttermilk (shaken) ¾ cup cocoa powder ½ cup vegetable oil 2 extra-large eggs at room temperature 2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Pro tip: You can also use Garten's recipe for cupcakes! This recipe will make 24 cupcakes; just make sure to reduce the baking time to 25-30 minutes."
Ina Garten first discovered Beatty's Chocolate Cake while dining with Michael Grimm, who runs Bridgehampton Florist and appears on Barefoot Contessa. Beatty was Grimm's grandmother and originally baked the cake to bring to customers on her family's milk deliveries in Pennsylvania Dutch country. The cake recipe calls for flour, sugar, hot brewed coffee, buttermilk, cocoa, vegetable oil, eggs, baking soda, baking powder, kosher salt, and vanilla. A chocolate frosting uses semisweet chocolate, unsalted butter, powdered sugar, an egg yolk, instant coffee granules, and vanilla. The cake pairs well with a tall glass of icy cold milk and the batter can be baked as 24 cupcakes with reduced time.
