I love watching the America Testing Kitchen and Cook's Country, and the cast. I have learned a lot and have shared what I've learned with family and friends.
I am looking forward to learning more recipes and what better cooking gadgets to use to make cooking more enjoyable.
My family agreed this is the best chocolate cake I ever made. Thank you for the details on watching the temperature of the fudge, because it took a bit longer for mine to reach 235°, and took a LOT longer (hours) for it to cool down to 80°.
I know it's not traditional but I made it in 9" rounds for a traditional birthday cake shape (they needed another 5 min in the oven for a toothpick to come out clean). I followed advice I read elsewhere to let the cakes fully cool and refrigerate them before frosting, and also to make everything a day in advance because it gets better with age. I don't know if that's true, but it's what I did and it was easy to handle and tasted amazing!
I've rewritten out the recipe to make all those temperature and cooling guidelines really explicit.
😊 Took a piece of the cake to my coworker. She texted me: I just ate the cake. I can't believe how good it is. I saved a tiny piece for tomorrow. It's so very good!!!!
Made today. I messed up the first cake. So I started over. One of my layers needed more time to cook. The frosting is time consuming but oh so worth it! This cake is amazing! Thank you for posting this video! I watched it several times!
I've been waiting all my life for that frosting.🤪😁
I'm here for the comments people complaining about the thumbnail
Cool. I'm here for the people whining about the people whining about the thumbnail who will whine about my whining.
@@custos3249 Not whining, but the full episode is also available, chicken soup included...
I was like What?! Lol!

There was a fingernail in their cake? That’s disgusting I watch the video three times and I didn’t notice. 😱
I cannot even stand how good this looks. Drooooool.
Mmmm... Chicken, pasta, and chocolate... My three favorite things
I guess I'm kinda randomly asking but does anybody know a good site to watch new series online ?
@Jerry Roy Try Flixzone. Just search on google for it =)
@Jerry Roy try flixzone. You can find it on google =)
Creamy, rich, chocolatey chicken pasta. Yum!
My sister-in-law and I tried this recipe for my brother-in-law’s birthday. The cake was awesome. We did have trouble making the fudge frosting. We refrigerated the fudge, but it softened quickly at room temp. We frosted the cake anyway and refrigerated the cake again to set the frosting until we took it out for the birthday reveal. Altogether, the cake was full of chocolate flavor, not dry, and had a lovely crumb. The frosting was decadent and complimented the cake perfectly.
I made the cooks illustrated emergency chocolate cake this morning. Very simple since it uses mayonnaise in lieu of butter and eggs. Turns out great every time.
Oh my, that looks pretty darn fantastic!
they are so much fun! I be makin; this for Thanksgiving..winner!
I realize it's not part of the traditional recipe but I'd add coffee to the cocoa instead of water....the cake looks amazing!
Love the recipe and can't wait to give it a try!
I got to do this one for
Christmas 🎄 thanks ladies 👍👍👍👍👍
Wow this looks amazing!!!
I know the rest of the workers there was glad to get a piece of that cake and loved it like I would. I am not a baker and loved to eat the food cooked at the base I was assigned to before retiring and getting to taste test both the regular food dishes and the desserts as well. I was always full and so was one boat shop owner's security dog who was my constant companion when I wasn't at work because I always brought him some of the food home from the kitchen which was my part time job.
Thank you for your service, sir.
This choc cake looks amazing and I WILL make it soon.
This recipe is great! For anyone complaining about the thumbnail.....
Go to their channel, look under videos, scroll down a week ago (Nov 4th) and you will find the chicken and pastry recipe....
If that's too much trouble, you probably don't really want the recipe 🤔
Omg !! I have to make this cake immediately
i made it a few days ago. i promise it's worth the effort.
That cake looks good, and I know it taste even better!! :-) yum... yum.... Thanks America's Test Kitchen for the yummy video
Thanksgiving chocolate cake right here. Thanks ladies!
Excellent demo. I love all your recipes. Your veg. Chilli recipe on PBS is my family and friends favorite dish.
Love these videos, thanks
I'm not much of a cake baker but I think I have to try this!
You foxy ladies always making good stuff..I'm making it for Thanksgiving
Very nice vake i love it i try to mske thank u maam for the recipe GOD BLESS
I feel like I just watched this....but watched it again because fudge
I have to try this, even tho I'm not huge on chocolate. Thank you 😊
Yo, Cook's Country! I think y'all got the thumbnail wrong 😔
P.s. How does one apply to join the America's Test Kitchen/ Cook's Country's team in any capacity?
Cocoa is even better when you bloom it in hot coffee 😋
Made it last night. Gotta load on all the frosting, but it is as good as it looks.
Used 100% LINDT cocoa bars, melted in microwave. Darker color, still tasted GOOOOOOD . This cake tastes like what you would expect a choc cake to taste like. Have plenty of milk on hand. 😋💕😊
But how do I make chicken and pastry?
It is included here: ruclips.net/video/SuW8eu2VUP0/видео.html

I’m going to make this
Yum! Will definitely be doing this for Christmas 😋
You just had the Wellesley Fudge (and chicken & pastry) full video episode a week ago. This is an awesome cake tho, worthy of a separate weekly repeat I guess.
If you sub out the water for the cocoa powder with coffee or cold brew, you could have an even stellar cake.
Yummy 😋
All the Wellesley Fudge Cake is missing is a couple of scoops of vanilla ice cream
Wait - is this a new cooking/baking space? I don't recall seeing it before! It's lovely!
So I made this recipe, It is so rich in chocolate! But so delicious! If you are diabetic do not eat this cake!
I have a question. I'm going to be moving into an apartment in the future and most apartments have small kitchens. Should I get the KitchenAid mini stand mixer or the KitchenAid hand mixer?
You can always invest in the kitchen aid mini stand mixer. Just an idea.
Wait .....didn't this video happen already?
Yep. This is a clip from a complete episode that they posted just two weeks ago: ruclips.net/video/SuW8eu2VUP0/видео.html
Someday I hope you will teach me how to make
a Hershey Bar. Or, oooohh--ooooohh, how about M & Ms?
Your thumbnail is WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!!
The thumbnail is taken from the Cooks Country episode that this video is a clip from. Surprisingly, the whole episode was posted just two weeks ago: ruclips.net/video/SuW8eu2VUP0/видео.html
When blooming the cocoa , could you use hot coffee to enhance the cocoa flavour as in other recipes, or would that change the flavour of the cake too much?
The old fashioned cake recipe my mother gave me (she's 94) uses cocoa bloomed in coffee. You don't taste the coffee but you get an even deeper chocolate flavor.
Thanks for responding. In most of my chocolate cakes, I use coffee to bloom the cocoa. Cheers!
Could you use coffee instead of hot water to bloom the cocoa powder??
I was looking for a chicken recipe... but who can complain about chocolate cake?
you just showed this this past week
Have you ever put both eggs in at the same time? Does mixing them in one at a time really make a difference?
Adam Cravets yes it does make a difference, as both eggs at the same time can result in clumpy separation of egg and butter rather than an emulsion. And that does affect end product texture and look
I want to make it just to have the frosting
Do you really need all that sugar, 2 CUPS? The icing is that Cardiac Icing (so sweet it might give you are heart attack or stroke)! There was a time when I could eat this but now, I have to go out and exercise something crazy to burn all that excess sugar and fat up.
Have to slow down on these rich rich rich rich desserts. But it still looks yummy.
Don’t make it.
How does one store it? In the fridge?
I have two square pans but they're larger than 8". Can I still use them?
How will this recipe work at 6,500 ft above sea lever?
Can i you wiht suger in the frosting!?
I wonder if this cake tastes like Wegman's Ultimate Chocolate cake, if so I am in trouble .
What in the world are those chefs doing in the back ?! 😂
they're testing other recipes for the upcoming magazine issues.
Thumbnail is messed up
Cake-2 CUPS of sugar
Frosting-1 and a half CUPS light brown sugar, 3 CUPS confectioners sugar.
=6 AND A HALF CUPS OF SUGAR IN THAT 8 INCH SQUARE 2 LAYER CAKE. I'm sure it's good, just too much sugar to even make a test cake. I will just do a cold run of it before grandkids come over. 😁
Idk but some how i ended up with some sort of pastry chicken.

I can never find bitter sweet chocolate. Is that semi sweet or unsweetened? Thanks!
Bittersweet chocolate tends to have a little less sugar than semi-sweet, but they're very very close, so you can generally substitute one for the other.
It Burns thank you
Could the ingredients be listed?
A link to the full recipe is in the description above faxiang sun
@@DarianHarder thanks 👍
Here for the chicken pasta. .. 😐
You cannot get the recipe by clicking on the link they give you, unless you pay for a subscription. I think it is bullshit that we're told "hey you want the written recipe, go to our link" , and when we go to the link, we're told we have to pay for it. The
What does ‘blooming the cocoa’ mean?
Brie Sullivan to bloom cocoa it means you add the dried cocoa powder to a hot liquid such as water or coffee. What it does is give extra time to dissolve the solids and allow the chocolate flavor to come out of the dry powder even more, unlike mixing into your dry ingredients then quickly mixing 8nto wet and immediately baking.
@@nwsports8043 more than that, the hot water/coffee makes the cocoa molecules explode, and that is what contributes the more intense flavor.
Thumbnail???
I love these girls cooking , but this Wellesley fudge cake ,
to fudgy and could still taste bitter sweet choc and after 3 cups confectioner sugar,
to much butter also made my hubby stomach
you better like fudge a lot for this cake
Crazy that you have to give a CC number in order to view the recipe. Idiotic
Didn't Lady B go to a high school that was located right near, across the street, from a diner that made & served this luscious confection? Or was that part of the conversation regarding another recipe?
