Stovetop Dutch Oven Chocolate Cake

This stovetop Dutch Oven Cake is rich and buttery with a deep chocolate flavor and a texture that's so moist it's almost creamy.

1

Form a 1-inch thick foil ring and place it inside a Dutch oven. Add some water to the bottom of the pan.

2

Prepare a cake pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper and coating the inside with shortening and flour.

3

Add flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to a bowl and use a wire whisk to mix.

4

Whisk brown sugar and eggs, then whisk in sour cream, melted butter, vanilla, and coffee.

5

Whisk in the dry ingredients, stirring just to mix. There will be a few small lumps and that's ok.

6

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and set the pan on top of the foil ring inside the Dutch oven.

7

Place the lid on top of the Dutch oven and bring the water to a simmer. Let the cake steam until the center is firm to the touch.

8

Turn off the heat and leave the cake in the dutch oven until the pan is cool enough to handle. Remove the cake and run a knife around the outside to loosen then allow the cake to cool completely.

8

When the cake has cooled to room temperature, gently turn it out onto a serving plate and dust the top with some powdered sugar.
