You’ll love how the cake can stand on its own so you could just dust it with icing sugar then serve slices with dollops of cream on the side. You’ll love how tender the crumb is, and how it stays moist for 4 to 5 days. You’ll love how it really does taste of chocolate even though it’s only been made with cocoa powder (the secret is to add boiling water – it makes the chocolate flavour “bloom”). Then there’s recipes like this Chocolate Cake which tick all the boxes – it’s easier than the way I’ve been making everyday cake for most of my life, and the results are better. And there’s also a time and a place for shortcut recipes and quick dinners. If you’ve been reading for a while, you know that sometimes I get real stubborn about doing certain things the “right way”. For a richer, fudgier chocolate cake, try this Chocolate Fudge Cake. The ultimate glaze to impress, however, is without a doubt Chocolate Mirror Glaze…. It requires no beater, just a wooden spoon.įrost generously with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting for a terrific birthday cake or chocolate ganache for a luxurious rich option.

The crumb is beautifully tender and moist, and it keeps for up to 5 days. This is a really easy yet exceptional Chocolate Cake that truly tastes of chocolate.
