I love chocolate. I have an unhealthy love for chocolate. Actually, for anything sweet really. It’s a dangerous thing for me to have at home. I get weak and I can’t resist. So when it’s birthday or holiday time around here, I get nervous because I know there will be an influx of sweets galore. Moderation, what’s that?!
This cake was made for Soul’s fancy fourth birthday, and since it was “fancy,” I felt a good chocolate cake was needed. I pinned it here, followed it to the recipe and made it. It’s basic and easy and I definitely give it a two thumbs up. My change is that I separated the batter into two smaller ones so that we’d have a double decker chocolate cake. The best way to eat this is to warm some up with the gooey ganache goodness, and maybe if you’re feeling wild, pile a scoop of ice cream on top. It’s dangerous, but it’s okay to live dangerously once in awhile, right?!
What’s your go-to chocolate cake recipe?
Hi, I usually lurk because I never know what to write in comment boxes, but chocolate cake? that has to get a response 🙂
My all-time favourite is by Nigella Lawson, and is her Dense Chocolate Loaf Cake: http://www.food.com/recipe/dense-chocolate-loaf-cake-nigella-lawson-137303. It’s a bit of a faff to make, and covered my oven in batter the first time I made it (tip: put the loaf tin on a baking tray!) but it’s the closest I’ve found to pure chocolate in cake form. It’s heavenly, the only drawback being that it tastes better the day *after* you make it. Trying not to eat it in those 24 hours is a real challenge!
I will have to try that recipe soon! Thank you!!! And thank you for following along too! 😉
oh my goshhhh! this cake looks unbelievable!
Hey Ruby!
Ina Garten’s Beatty’s Chocolate Cake is the best cake recipe ever!!
Our favourite recipe is this one: http://yololos.blogspot.com.es/2012/05/tarta-de-chocolate.html (we apologize because the recipe is in spanish!).
We also love chocolate desserts and every sunday we prepare all together our cake for the week breakfasts.
