ABOUT BON APPÉTIT
Bon Appétit is a highly opinionated food brand that wants everyone to love cooking and eating as much as we do. We believe in seasonal produce, properly salted pasta water, and developing recipes that anyone can make at home.
Developing a recipe for your own birthday cake is such a Chris move.
I usually go one step further and make my own birthday cake, I know, it's terrible
He didn’t develop the recipe, but go off
Persepione 8:42 not his cake...
@@melissaperez-carrillo3232 I know that
Persepione a lot of people who liked your comment might not have.
I love how Chris also informs you when it IS and IS NOT okay to check social media as apart of the recipe.
we're approaching the twenties at full speed it's about time they included the Most Vital piece of info for finishing any recipe
it's called knowing your audience
11:17 Gaby saying "this is as good as my grandmother's cake" that is HUGE like is the best compliment any Latino can make to your cake.
I thought she's Argentinean?
@@meepmeep3384Yes she is, but Argentina is part of Latin America
@@meepmeep3384 Argentina is in Latin America.......
@@sselioon oh, okay, I'm sorry I didn't know! Thank you for explaining this 😬
@@meepmeep3384 It's ok don't be sorry, and you're welcome
I really appreciate Chris's take on cooking: he's so careful and dedicated and uncompromising, but he also knows exactly how much effort the everyday cook is willing to put in.
This. Absolutely this.
Yes!
Hes very pragmatic and efficient but doesn't compromise on flavor or decadence
Chris: takes 7 seconds to sift cocoa "This is the most annoying thing ever"
Also Chris: pulls out a saucepan just to heat milk with undivided attention
i was like JUST STICK IT IN THE MICROWAVE
@@kkim5000 saucepan milk tastes better
If you keep watching, the milk won't boil.
heating things in a pot is good to watch though it moves and little wisps of steam and all
I feel that cocoa issue deep in my soul since I make brownies twice a week
8:53 "Why are you gonna do something that takes forever and stresses you out? No offense, Claire."
I AM DEAD
Sassy, Bad word Chris is mood!
All hail the Shade King
He said it so nonchalant that it made you wonder if it was shade or not 😂
Claire left the test kitchen for a minute
Chris's level of enthusiasm for this recipe and during this entire video was adorable and contagious. It is so nice to seem him not being tortured by mystery cheese.
"Its as good as my grandmother's cake"
Chris: "cool".
Chris developing a birthday cake recipe to reduce the mess his wife makes in the kitchen is both a mood and the highest level of passive aggressiveness I can think of.
So... High praise?
@@lisaa3978 I think that was the intention... and proves how next level awesome he is as a husband.
The biggest plot twist isn't that he's married, but that he has a wife.
@@notcarlie1710 I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE THINKING THIS
@@notcarlie1710why?
"Why are you gonna do something that takes forever and stresses you out? No offense, Claire." omg Chris
acrrazywriter I’m not sure who Chris has become, whether he was always like this or not, but I’m loving it
Chris listened too much Taylor Swift 😅
it's funny since he always makes her temper chocolate which is a very time-consuming task
Nobody:
Chris yelling at a pot of milk: *WISP*
I trust Chris more than I’ve ever trusted any other person ever
Chris really developed a recipe just for his wife to make less of a mess. What a power move
Kat developped it i think
Kat is the one who developed
*_Chris is straight?!_*
Sara Rahimpour XD I was shocked too ahaha
B.R. V. Umm yes 8:42
Honestly if it’s good enough for Chris Morocco, it’s good enough for me.
these are words to live by
Agreed
“Cake testers lie” - yep. You need a skewer or toothpick. With stainless steel testers, they’re too thin and batter or crumbs don’t always stick. That’s not the case with wood.
I bought 1000 toothpicks when I started baking regularly. Great decision. I have about 850 left after two years of baking.
Absolutely No One:
Chris: Pen-side down.
Chris has definitely become more chaotic neutral these days
Hello queen
@Pink Alien what?
What is this comment about?
FGO?
if so, which class type is chris supposed to belong to? :)
@Pink Alien it's a meme
@Pink Alien I think its dnd
"no offence claire" straight savage morocco this is why i love you
The comment I was looking for lol
This is the most Chris move that Chris has ever Chrised...
I made this tonight and it was perfect.
However, due to the quarantine I ended up improvising a peanut butter frosting
Beth Gilmer did the peanut butter taste good with the cake?
geo blake yes, I googled a recipe that was just whipped stick cream cheese/1/2 c peanut butter/ 3 c powdered sugar with a couple table spoons of milk
Beth Gilmer thanks i’ll try that
i wanna try it and too thinking change the frosting😛have no idea yet
What is the quantity of cocoa in dry ingredients?
Hearing Chris curse is like hearing one of your parents or a teacher curse when you're young.
Hearing my parents curse is normal however hearing a teacher curse is like reality just shattered.
Chris Morocco channeling Oprah with “you get some cake and you get a cake and you”.
It's everyone's birthday!
"Except you, Brad. You're done here"
This has now become my go-to chocolate cake. I’ve made it three times and each one has been flawless, delicious and easy to make.
I appreciate the new closed captions. It’s so much easier now than the automated CC. Thanks BA! 🙏🏼💖
"do you have to sift your cocoa?" "no, but actually, yes" some classic chris thinking goin on
But, but..... he didnt bloom his cocoa! *faints* lol.
You can also mix it with your sugar the granules of the suger break it down and seperate it!
When you live in a place with 100% humidity like every day you get used to sifting 🤣
I think it's more of Chris saying "you don't have to do it my way - but you'd be really wrong".
You don't want to do it, you think it's an unncecssary step, but yes, you do have to do it.
I made this for my mom’s bday with two tiers, a ganache coating and then the frosting on top and when I say that it changed me- IT CHANGED ME. A flawless recipe by Morocco
Could I make this for my 6yo do you think? It seems like it would be fine, but do you think it ends up too rich for a kid?
How long did you bake it
Kayla Bettina Bautista just made it last night and it took 35 minutes in my oven
@@TheEmmakathryn Kids don't really register "too rich" or "too sweet". They are quite capable of developing a discerning palate.
@@beth8775 i see what you mean but lots of kids don't like strong flavours. Particularly if they're not used to them (which most of the kids at my sons party wouldn't be).
As an aside though, I made it and it was fine, my son had two slices so must have fit the bill haha
when chris says "thanks bud!" to brad... that' some circle of life sh*t
Chris is giving me chandler vibes... Especially when he mentioned his wife and half the people didn't think he'd have a WIFE. 😂
Chandler was more masculine than him
I thought he had a husband (Chris please don't kill me)
@@1rage17 I don't think he would, as there's nothing wrong with that :D
He has...a quality...
@@JudyCZ 😂
why do i feel like hes talking directly to his wife
The "not ok to check Instagram while the milk is heating" and the "check the phone during the melting chocolate" parts are so directed, lol.
Of course Brad didn't like it... chocolate is bad for dogs and he's a human golden retriever.
🤣
No, he's gone on record as not being a cake lover.
Just cause it's bad for dogs doesn't mean they wouldn't devour it
Why is this offensive but not at the same time 😂😂
@@roo_s6330 because it is offensive but golden retrievers in particular are very likeable and known for being friendly, so some might still find it ok to joke around about that, as a result (in my opinion).
i've been impressing aunts with a variant of this cake for nigh on 5 years now, so it's great to see BA sharing my enthusiasm for this super simple oil based chocolate cake.
No one:
Chris: Cake testers LiE
It was so freaking cute when Gaby started running back to her station to take off her jacket after Chris told her there was cake. Everyone needs a gaby in their life.
I want a gabby
“I’m on record saying this is the year I *crack* that one.”
So we’re just gonna ignore that nonchalantly delivered dad joke? Hahahaha!
” no offense, Claire.”
The **shade**
Get you a man that makes a whole recipe to make your day easier and his bday special 🙌🏻
0:08 when my mom starts vacuuming while I’m watching a show
Anon, you're 27.
Either move out or help out with the house chores 😂
@@andersestes that's post malone estupido, also, even if it was their age, they would be 26 or 25 lol.
try being less spoiled
@@ekscom try being less dickish
@@aq421 I'm trying to be helpful here, not dickish. I'm giving valuable advice there. You should try being less dickish though.
Yes, Chris Morocco *would* develop the perfect recipe for his favourite cake for a perfect birthday cake for his own birthday.
I appreciate that level of commitment towards perfection. 😂
chris is turning *40* ?? no way i dont believe it he looks younger
Am I the only one who loves it when Chris swears?????
It's like, you would never expect this bambi of a man to drop the f-bomb and yet when he does, it makes so much sense.
I’d like a backstory to Chris always wearing blue &/or blue squares. Blue is definitely his color though.
It’s how Keith used to be (Try Guys).
bishopl probably just his favourite colour
It's like how there is a Green Lantern Corps, Red Lanterns, and so on.
Blue has the taste buds of God.
Colorblind? At least, that's why my dad always wore the same colors. It was easier to match clothes correctly.
He's almost 40, that's plenty of time to develop a signature style.
Chris is a dork of the highest caliber, and I need a dork like Chris in my life. I love it.
I have tried and failed many times to make chocolate cake but this recipe is fool proof and easy to follow. And it’s the best chocolate cake ever. Everyone should try this cake.
Made this for my moms birthday and she loved it! This cake is very rich and moist! The frosting is my favorite! I really like the texture of the cake and frosting after its been sitting in the fridge for a couple hours :) Makes the frosting thicker
I love how Chris can get so excited but still maintains his calm quiet voice. I find that so endearing.
"Chris makes chocolate cake"
Ok Monday is gonna be fine
I needed this for my Christmas party!!!!!
Exactly!
lol YEEEES
make a series where chris has to learn how to crack an egg with one hand.
This was literally the best and easiest chocolate I ever made and ate omg. Sooooo goood
What are the baking timings ?? Please can u tell me
@@samayazia5033 they have on the link in the website as well in the description. But it’s 40-50 minutes and you turn the cake half way through the baking time to get an even bake.
@@ZymeenAlphaOmegaC6 ok thank you so much
Can you tell the recipe in metric measurements pls😭
Not sure if I made the recipe correctly. Everything was going great, but when I went to put the cake pan in the oven there wasn't already a finished cake in there. Did I do something wrong?
Did you try turning it on and off again?
Did you take it out with your bare hands?
Oven is broken... Happened when I opened mine 💁🏻♀️
You need a TV production team ;p
Put it in a bag of rice
Funny how everyone says Brad and Delaney are enemies when clearly the real enemies are Brad and Chris
I love Delaney because I'm pretty sure he's everyone's enemy.
the real enemies were the friends we made along the way
A Flying Yogurt Except Molly! Everyone shipped them in the deli episode... till they found out she’s married
That's what i thought!! I never know when or how the brad-delany thing started, but chris always been snarky whenever he made a cameo on it's alive. Later on i learned that it's just chris being chris lol
@@jessboo173 I love the "DELANEY!" stuff. I think it's one huge joke (per the Try Everything episode they did together), but I have to admit that I get sad when they are actually amicable to each other. Bring back the fake rivalry!!
Chris can make anything sound relatable even though no one could relate. This is why I love him.
Everyone thinks of Chris as this refined human because of his neatly attuned palate and deep, intellectual descriptions of food. I love him because he is just always teeming with sass. It's always bubbling just beneath the surface.
Chris going full dad mode on Brad was a moment
Of course Claire is going to take offense with that frosting styling. She spent so much time doing the frosting episodes. LOL.
Pedro Azevedo Yamin Could be but Claire did a series on cakes.
Pedro Azevedo Yamin the point is not stress, Claire did a very expense and clear cake baking and decorating series which involves frosting a cake a Chris throw that out of the window and did his thing 😂
It was definitely a reference to Claire's Baking School, which I really hope we get more seasons of soon.
"Give me chocolate cake with some chocolate frosting and I am happy!"
Such a simple man...😊
I would be honored to make this for you for your birthday Chris. You are a national treasure.
5:33 clearly that oven isn’t hot. I feel betrayed, angry, cheated and let down.
@@4AneR Thanks for the clairity.
Wait till we find out it WAS hot.
Edward Chen if it was hot Chris would have ruined his hand.
@@brookiemathews that was the joke dear.
@@brookiemathews WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH! that's sound of the joke going over your head.
Chris makes his favorite cake so we can have a happy birthday
I love how passionate and excited Chris gets about chocolate cake of all things
Brad would have liked the cake if Chris incorporated sumac. 😩😂
or dehydrated kimchi powder or furikake seasoning
This is the first time a recipe that is labeled easy actually is quite easy
“Even Gaby choked it down”
10:43 😭 she really did go ham
Caroline Gaby is me if I worked in the test kitchen...’you have some food, I’ll eat it all’
No one...
Chris: puts the cake into a cold oven and takes the other cake without protection.
Chris: I'm going to make you a recipe that you can make me, every year on my birthday.
Me: Is this an invitation to send you chocolate cakes?!
Only if you are his wife.
drinking game: take a shot every time chris says “easy/easier/easiest” (if you’d like alcohol poisoning)
Can confirm this makes you very drunk ✌️👍
Or “incorporates”
I love how Chris is letting his wife know the birthday cake type he prefers, in addition to the exact recipe....lol
And that a kitchen explosion is unacceptable and unnecessary
Why do everyone suprise when Chris said he has a wife ?? 🤣 He is a soft spoken person .
because every gaydar in the country pegs out when chris walks in lol.
I just made it as a beginner baking a cake for the first time! I used Oat Beverage instead of regular milk, I also didn't have any other oil except for olive oil so I used that. Besides the hint of olive oil of the finished product, it's one of the most perfect cake I've ever had! The cake itself really is reasy to make, but the topping took a lot of time of effort and time for me. The whole thing took about 3 hours but it was well worth it! So light and fluffy!
I wanna see:
Chris Morocco do gourmet makes
Claire do it's alive
Molly do reverse engineering
And
Brad do molly's scavenger hunt
Please.
Bent arm Benny I’m still on board with brad doing back to back
@@JH-ee5xv with orville
Sounds like you're asking for trouble..
I honestly just want Brad to do gourmet makes. He need to understand Claires pain!!!
Claire complaining and crying through an entire episode of it's alive!?! Yes please.
You could totally make the dry mix ahead of time and use this like a homemade boxed cake mix.
Would actually be good to make a massive batch of the dry stuff and keep it in an airtight container, and then figure out the wet ingredient proportion. E.g. 2 cups of dry needs + 1 egg + 1/2 cup of veg oil and milk. And then just adjust depending on the amount of batter you want to make. Someone grab a calculator!
They actually put that in the recipe :)
@@emmasegerman6831 whoa, whoa whoa. you think internet people have time to look at the available information.
You genius
I wish I could love anything as much as Chris loves how easy this cake is.
Gaby: "It's as good as my grandmother's cake."
Chris: "Choke it down!"
Gaby saying that it was as good as her grandmother's cake was so touching!
I'm 14 seconds in and I can safely say Chris is now one of my favorite BA test kictchen chefs! He's made so many cameos in the past several videos and I've loved all of them! This is also literally the quickest I've clicked on a video notification EVER. 😊👌
You must be new here! Welcome to the BA fanbase 😊
Emily Berry have you watched his BA videos? Look up Chris Morocco recreates and watch literally any of the ones that come up, they’re great!
Chris Morocco's sense of humor is the best thing. Such a boss.
I have made this cake twice now for my daughters birthday this week and it was amazing! I just changed half of the oil to melted butter and added 2 ounces of melted dark chocolate, both fir flavor enhancement. Its a beautiful recipe, not too sweet, delicious and fool-proof! I already tried at least 6 other chocolate cake recipes, but this is the one. Its not too dense, rich, sweet, greasy, bitter, crumbly, complicated, expensive or time consuming. Great job, Chris!!
I wonder if Chris has ever been to Morocco 🤔
Can you imagine passport control🛂🥴
BA needs to send him there
Chris Morocco in Morocco does have a nice ring to it
Finally someone needs to do that!
He can go to a spice market and taste everything.
"you want LESS cake?" pure outrage
It was the first time I thought something is seriously wrong with Brad... less cake is a bit shocking.
Finally a Kat Boytsova co-recipe, would like to see more of that!
This looks like the chocolate cake in the freezer section. I love that cake, it’s my favourite. I love how it’s salty, and sweet, and chocolaty. Yum.
Loool the McCain deep and delicious?
Hold up my dude went to grab that pan bare hands and I was like "NOOOOO, CHRIS" I feel lied to
My perfect view of Brad shattered when he uttered the words "less cake" 😅
Hahahaha. I was like 'who wants less cake in their life!!!'
Brad only eats Pumpkin Pie
@@dbreardon and Garlic 🍽
isn't it good? the people around him can have more cake.
The only reasonable explanation I can think of is that the cake/frosting ratio was off for his taste.
"It’s as good as my grandmother's cake"
That’s the best compliment you can ever receive
ugh i have the biggest crush on chris. he's the perfect amount of sass and confidence
If only he wasn't pretending to be straight...
no one:
chris: the parchment rOUND
Paige Stephenson this is my favorite comment in the comment section
Love watching Chris. He's so chill
I've searched far and wide online for different chocolate cake recipes but almost always end up choosing to make this one instead again and again. A touch of espresso in the dry ingredients and the best quality veggie oil/dutch-cocoa/chocolate chips you can afford really elevates the richness of the cake since you're only really using a handful of ingredients.
I'm already starving just at hearing the word cake
Chris chirping Claire's series......absolute madlad
I appreciate how diplomatic Chris when responding to Brad and Gabby when they were mixing something... "What are you guys up to?"..."Do you want some cake?"
Hands down this is the best. I made it once and now I make it once a month. My family loves this
You know this cakes is insane simply because Chris made it.
Channeling Molly with the shortened "veg oil" lol
Robert Gonzales and AP flour
Why do I love this guy even more now?
Y’all please make this cake! I only did a ganache frosting cause I didn’t have cream cheese but it still came out perfect! Its soooo moist and flavourful and tastes a lot like the Starbucks chocolate cake
"uploaded 12 seconds ago"
Oh no, I'm late
thank you for upgrading the "i'm so early" comments
Congrats on turning 21 again, Chris ; )
I baked this cake today and honestly it was amazing and easy .
I made this and it was way too good. The cake was perfectly moist. I couldn’t stop eating it, the frosting isn’t too sweet but it’s enough to get you hooked to take another bite 😭
how much cocoa powder did you use?
PEN-SIDE DOWN! is gonna need to be on a t-shirt
You think anything that they say goes on a t-shirt.
givememore4free is that wrong?
I would buy it
