I m going to bake a cake for the first time in my life please help me can I use the same 1 cup for all the dry and liquid ingredients ?
Same I'm 11 too
Just tried this last night and it was the most heavenly deliciousness ever! I don’t usually bake cakes but my husband wanted to eat chocolate cake and this seemed like an easy enough recipe to make. Beginners should definitely try this. It was so quick, simple and fuss-free! I used my stand mixer and added whole milk instead of buttermilk and it came out perfect, if that helps anyone :)
Thankyou so much for your comment. 🤩
Is the recipe correct? Isn’t it too liquidy?
@@TheMhean12 Yes, it's correct. I halved the recipe and used raw cacao powder and milk instead of processed cocoa and buttermilk and it turned out great.
What size of cake tin are you using? Just wondering this will be big enough for birthday cake ?
Thnx for Ur comment ❤
Even though I am only 11 years old I made it for my parents and they loved it 😇😁🥰😍
Wow that's great
You're doing great sweetie 💜
Im also 11🤭just one thing i dont have cocoa powder👀can i use nestquick? (Not sure thats how you spell it)
Actually i am also 11 years old an i am gonna make it today
I am also 11 years and tomorrow is my father's BD😆
So ,imma gonna make it
Its funny there are a lot of 11 years old out there🤭
Oh my word baked this today and doubled the ingredients to make a double layer chocolate cake for my husbands birthday. This is definitely a fool proof cake best reciepie ever. Thank you so much. Perfection, moist, delicious. Thank you from new zealand.

I AM INTO COOKING AND I AM JUST 11,I HAVE NEVER BAKED A CAKE AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME AND IT TURNED OUT SO WELL THA0NK YOU FOR THE RECIPE
I made this cake today and it came out amazing. Such a fluffy, moist cake. My fiancé is a chocolate lover and he really loved it! Thanks for this amazing recipe!!
Tried this recipe yesterday.I’ve minimized the quantity of hot water even though it turned out perfectly.
Thanks a lot for this amazing recipe ❤️
I'm trying it right now for my husband's 70th Birthday. Thank you so much, looks amazing 👏 🎉
It's my first time to bake using this recipe and my husband loved it. Though I did not cut off the sugar to 1 1/2 instead of two cups coz I thought it would be too sweet. But it was still very sweet. Next time I will use 1 cup only. Thank you
Nice!! It’s my mum and dads anniversary, this looks nice and easy so I will do it for them. Thanks 😊
happy baking!
I made this cake yesterday for mother's day and surprised my mom at midnight,we celebrated together and literally,this cake turned out so beautifully and it was so tasty that my mom was asking me did I order it from somewhere then I told her that I made it,she was really very happy,everyone in my family loved it,it's just that a bit of egg smell was there so if u want to avoid it u may add some melted chocolate like dairy milk into it,1 big bar of dairy milk will do,it will taste nice also and the smell will also not come as per me,but on the whole the taste was on point,thanks for the recipe!❤
wow! great to know!
I tried this earlier and it's the best!! So moist and the texture results from the thumbnail was exactly the same results as mine thankyou so much
Sab, thank you so much for your feedback
Hello did you use unsweetened cocoa powder?
Super easy to make and delicious. I substituted whole milk for buttermilk and also 1 cup hot coffee for the water portion..Starbucks French Roast. This, as it has already been noted, is a ninja move. Yes Chef!
Just made the recipe as-is and it is, indeed, very moist and spongy with a dense crumb structure, almost like a cake with pudding mixed into the batter. It’s not exactly what I was looking for, but for those who like a moist, spongy cake, this is a very good recipe. I might suggest adding more than 1/4 cup cocoa powder though, to get a more chocolatey flavor.
my daughter made this today and it was delicious! Thank you!
Haha same!
For the first time i made this today as a birthday cake and it was easy to follow, the result was great! Instead of buttermilk i used evaporated milk and added 1 tsp. of vinegar. I'm also short on 1 egg so i wasn't sure what will happen but thankfully it was great! It was moist and has the right softness for a moist cake, there's no break, and the taste is good to me not too sweet or strong. Then I covered it with a simple ganache recipe i found somewhere online and it totally looks perfect for me. Definitely will bake this again, still new to the bake-ing world so i will try more types of cake. ( The texture of this is almost 2 step away from a Brownies ) I'll rate it 9.5/10 thank you Yummy Treats!
I also put it back in the oven twice in 100°c for 3min. because when i flipped it thinking it was done the mixture leaked out somewhere like lava haha ( i did the toothpick test in one place only maybe that's why, so be sure to test all corners of the cake every 10 mins. )
Is it okay to use normal milk?
@@Lynnoftheevalley hi! I think it's alright since I've tried it before
@@rashielangelah thank you 💗💞
I tried the recipe. It turned out so good. I took the exact same measurements.. and I did not use water. Everyone liked it so much.the taste,the texture everything was up to mark and the fact it was soft and spongy.Thanks for this recipe.. recommended ❤
Replace the hot water with coffee and ITS PERFECT
Ur a genius
@Bread Genie you mean coffee powder ?
coffee powder in the hot water or just coffee powder?
@@LW1Tok Expresso or instant coffee in water. I mean you can put expresso powder if you wanted, but it doesn’t make a difference since it’s just going to be mixed into the water anyway.
@@breadgenie1810 can I Taste the coffee when the cake is finished? Because I hate coffee 😅
This is a great recipe! I was worried about the amount of sugar but it doesn't taste extremely sweet. Moist and 'spongey' and delicious. Kids and hubby love it. Thank you!

Glad to know you liked it!!

Good job, girl

SUCH A GOOD SIMPLE RECIPE, and it doesn’t have oil in it! Love it!
Glad you like it!
During this virus lockdown this has been my favourite thing I’ve made. After several dry cakes I’m so pleased that 4 days after baking it I’ve just had another slice and it’s still moist and delicious!!! Thank you
Thankyou for your feedback and happy to know your experience with my recipe 😍
Hye. Can I Know What Flour That You Use
what is butter milk?
@@yanlz42 you can get buttermilk at stores..it is basically fermented milk (Chanch in Hindi) You can replace it with 1 cup of lukewarm milk + 1 TSP lemon juice (or white vinegar).
@@hariniharini6682 All Purpose / Plain/ maida
I'm a big zero in baking, and confused also after surfing different channels, do this, do that, this first , it's in batches and lots of instructions. Keeping my fingers crossed, tried this one. I was surprised, even I can bake yaar.
Thank you so so much, for such simple, but super delicious, soft, spongy Choco cake.
Would like to learn such simple but super delicious mango cake from you dear. Thank you once again
Tried this recipe to the dot on father's Day (had to make buttermilk with milk and vinegar as mentioned and I didn't have baking soda so I used twice the amount of baking powder and reduced the quantity of salt in the recipe) and it turned out soo sooo good!!! I could have eaten the whole huge cake on my own but everyone loved it soo much. It's fast, easy and absolutely delicious ❤️
( I topped it with an easy chocolate ganache made with dark baking chocolate and cream at 2:1 ratio)
thanks for your feedback!
What milk did you use?
@@zemmol623 Amul full cream

Oh my I followed the exact recipe with just a cup of sugar instead of 2 and it turned out so beautiful😍 the kids loved it! Thank you so much ❤️
Too much sugar isn’t good agree lass sugar .

Thank you so much, this is the first time I make a cake and it actually turns out good. Thanks
Great job!
I’ve always been so hesitant to bake cakes because we only have NON-convection microwave oven. I followed all your exact measurements + added 1tsp of coffee! I got a very thin and watery batter- I panicked so i added more flour- I also Added some vanilla buttercream filling and WOW your recipe turned out so good!! It’s like the ones you order on local stores! Thank you so much! Life changing recipe! I hope to see more tutorials on different cake flavors! ❤️
I'm so glad that my video helped u and thank you so much for your feedback..stay connected
I made this cake and it was delicious! And so easy to follow! I’m making it again tonite. Thank you. GOD bless you.
Me and my sister made this so many times and the cake turned out better and better everytime we made it thanks for sharing this recipe 😊❤
I have a question did it taste too sweet because the amount sugar were 2 cups?
That's some good looking chocolate cake.
Making this for my mother today hope it goes well
@@mxrtiniplxys burnt it 🤣
HAAAAAAA ME TOO cuz mothers day (;
Sameeee
i made this today. It came so yummy chocolaty and perfect!! I never had so perfect cake before!!
This recipe is good I've used it twice for my chocolate cake already, but if you add cream cheese to the recipe it really takes it to the next level ...thanks for the recipe.
Thanks for trying my recipe and for the tip.
Hi there. How much cream cheese should I add? Do I need to omit the buttermilk?
You can add up to 1/4 cup cream cheese ..this will give more cheesy flavor but you cannot skip buttermilk. Reaction of buttermilk and baking soda will produce air bubbles which makes the cake spongy ..
The best recipe ever!! Finally, I succeeded.. thank you
THANKYOU
I tried this damn was amazing.. sending love from Belize 🇧🇿🇧🇿
Thanks dear 🙂
Is Belize a country
I tried and result was excellent
I've baked this today for my birthday. My family loves it! Thanks for the recipe :)
Wow! Great
Can it be pre heated ?@@YummyTreats
I baked this today and it was really yummy...I also added powered sugar at the top and added cocoa powder at the bottom
I added plain milk btw
Thanks for sharing
Does plain milk work?
did you use buttermilk?
Many people in the comments have used reg milk instead of butttermilk and said it turned out fine….Here in France buttermilk is not available in stores
Oh my gosh this is an amazing cake recipe, my sister will love it!
Tysm l hade soo much fun making!! :) tip: don't add so much flour it will taste a little bit more like flour
I tried this cake yesterday and it was so delicious and also thanks for this recipe.
Can u suggest....which flour u used ...wheat or Maida ?
GOPIBEN Soni Any flour would be fine.
Whole purpose flour
I tried this cake today and it came out really good...
Happy to hear that!
I tried this yesterday, It was perfect and very easy to do. IT WAS SO YUMMY AND MOIST! Thank you so much!!!
The detail in your mini food is phenomenal 🎨 Excellent craftsmanship 👏
I love making cakes. The other day, I made it with the recipe of Gateau chocolate from a cake shop called KEN'S CAFE Tokyo.
It was very rich, delicious and very satisfying!
The video was also very helpful ♬
Thank you!
With love from Japan :)
Im going to try it for my grandmas d day!
you ... uuh... misspelled b-day... d day was a battle...
Yaay! I made my first chocolate cake today and it came out perfect! Thank you Yummy Treat 😋😊
Great job!
@@YummyTreats can we use wheat flour??
i just made these and i’d rate it 10/10, i made it into cupcakes and if you do the same, preheat to 390 farenheight and only putting them in for about 12 minutes! there so gooddddd! best recipe from scratch that i’ve ever tried
I made it for my family . Absolutely perfect too good
I made the cake it was awesooooooooome i’m 13 and this was the first cake i’ve made every one loved though maybe use a little less water like 1/2 cup because otherwise it gets runny and once it’s baked the water comes to surface but otherwise loved i added some white and milk chocolate chips and they really added a lot more flavour but the cake itself was perfect part fudgy moist and cakey
Great to know that your cake was awesome! Thank you so much for your feed back
@@YummyTreats Hey, What is the diameter of the cake form you used? (in cm)

I’ve made this recipe a number of times and everyone loved the cake!! Thank you a simple and delicious recipe ❤️❤️
The moist dark chocolate cake looks absolutely enticing. 😋😋 I don't really bake and never made a chocolate cake before, but I love chocolate cake so much that I'm going to follow your recipe and try to make one, except cutting the sugar in half (just because I find most cakes and cookies etc are too sweet to my taste). Thank you for your recipe and wish me luck ! 😃😃
I also use half sugar!
I'll make this on my mom's birthday next week! thank you❤
Advanced Happy birthday!! to your mom and all the best.
Did it turn out good?
i really wish people would use grams instead of cup more often :D
sorry
Honestly nope
Me too
I have no way to measure grams so it is easier for me to use cups

Try again
I try otitis makes ylvery yummy 😋 😍 😊 thank you 😊 😋 ☺ 😘 🙏 😉 😊 😋
Lovely
Do we have to use buttermilk. I only have regular milk, will there be any big difference. Is there any type of way I can make buttermilk at home
Emilly De Souza if you have white vinegar or 1/2 lemon just put some in a cup of milk and let it sit for 10 min then you’ll get buttermilk
Flavia M’peti thank you so much 😊
I am 10 years old i made this cake for my family and everybody likes it ❤
I made this today and it was sooooooo yoummy. Thank you so much for the recipe😘😍😋
If you guys don’t have butter milk you can make one yourself by getting milk and adding distilled white vinegar or lemon juice and let it sit for 10 minutes before using it
hamdeh al Mheiri please tell the quantity of how much milk and how much vinegar or lemon needs to be added?
nehajain1502 sorry for the late reply. I used normal milk and added more flour but then I realized that I could have added distilled white vinegar or lemon juice and I dont think you need to add that much
I can't just use normal milk?
add 1 tbsp lemon juice to 1 cup milk and let it rest for 10 minutes. you can use this as butter milk
Hot milk or cold?
The batter was way too runny unfortunately. I had to add another half a cup of flour to fix it. Maybe reduce the amount of liquids and it would be perfect.
This is really runny but it is ok because tthe moistudd will evapirate anyway abd it will make a soft moist chocolTe cake or cupcakes
im in the middle of making it and it is like water, what do I do?
Same !!! My batter was too runny too
Yeah same!

When everyone else is happy with their results and I'm here wondering why mine is watery as heck!

Add only one-third of water instead of one cup
