i really love your channel and agree with other comments that it is underrated and should have way more views! i’ve tried your recipes and can honestly say they are awesome and can guarantee you a great tasting cake! i do think that if you upped your decorating game you would get more views/subs! people eat with their eyes... which is kind of sad because a lot of great looking cakes taste bland and dry! yours are awesome and should get the attention they deserve!
just my 2 cents because maybe I have become a hardcore fan.... I have no affiliations with this woman at all. but every time I need a guaranteed recipe I come here! she is by far the best and just so pleasant to watch! i have unsubscribed to 90 percent of my youtube channels and this is one of the few that stays :) and also the recipes are so much less complicated than some other channels like the preppy kitchen :/ so i just had to make sure this was heard! im not sure why the views have not skyrocketed by now but maybe its an advertising thing ? but if you are here this is the best channel for baked goods and maybe other food too....lots of love from South Africa (woopwoop)
This is the best chocolate cake I've ever made in my life (incl that Hershey's one). The texture and flavor is unmatched for a chocolate cake that only uses cocoa powder. Butter and coffee make a real difference. It stays moist on the fridge for a few days if it can last that long. As a vanilla girl I can't let this chocolate cake win my heart so easily so I'm gonna make her vanilla cake soon! lol This channel has become my go-to for tasty, reliable cakes that everyone loves!💕
This cake was sooooo good! After experimenting with soooooo many recipies for a vanilla cake, i Finally found one, BUT i didnt have a chocolate cake one.... After watching many chocolate recipies, this was my final choice and the results were AMAZING!!!! I wanted a fluffy yet moist cake! Everyone need to try this!😛😛😍😍🥰🤩😇
Freshly milled flour works with this recipe. I took the leap yesterday and tried (not expecting success). I used a 125g per cup standard using Soft White Wheat berries (not sifted) and followed the rest of the recipe. Then I made a stovetop fudge frosting. I just got thorough trying it and it was absolutely perfect. It was very moist and not gritty in the least. I did convection bake at 335F in a parchment bottom 9" x 13".
I made this. it's my 2nd time for the reverse cream method. The other was a vanilla cake. I don't ever see myself making anything but reverse cream cakes ever again. This method supplies me with the ideal texture and lasting moisture for days. I used a 9x13 and did convection oven at 335F and parchment bottom. Topped with chocolate buttercream. Delicious.
Made this for my mums birthday today and everyone commented it was the best chocolate cake they had ever eaten. My mum was so delighted how moist and beautiful it was. Chocolate cake is her favourite so she’s had quite a few different ones over the years but she said that honestly this was her favourite. Thank you so much for the delicious recipe it will definitely be a staple in our home for years to come God willing ❤️❤️❤️
Sam, this chocolate cake recipe is FANTASTIC! So moist and rich! I just tried it for the first time with coffee buttercream frosting along with a caramel and chocolate ganache drip topping, and it is one of the best cakes my taste testers and I have ever had! Thank you for sharing your amazing recipes!
Thank you so much for this recipe! 💕 This made my dad’s birthday party very special (oh, if any body sees this, the chocolate cake goes really well with homemade no churn chocolate ice cream as a filling to turn it into a ice cream cake).
I really appreciate the way you explain things and sharing the why. That is what makes you stand out in your recipes. It’s caused me to trust your tastes and judgement.
Omg. Honey, i have to tell you. I’m a new baker. And i made this one for my brother. I cut off a little bit of sugar because my family doesn’t like too sweet. It was so so GOOD. Everybody loved it. Even my grandpa, he is the pickiest one in the world that i have to say, but he loved it and ate a big piece. And my sister whom bake a lot got jealous too. 🤣🤣🤣. Thank you so much for all your great recipes. I’m so glad that I found you. Before I followed some recipes has millions views and it turned out like sh...i felt like why baking is so hard, now i know that i just have to find some one who i can trust. I tried a few recipes from you and it all turned out great. Never failed. I think your channel deserve millions views, i will recommend your channel to anyone whom love baking like me. I love youuuuuu. 😘😘😘
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the cake so much and I appreciate your support. I love to receive comments like this. It really makes my day. :)
I made this chocolate cake for my brother to take to work and it has been a week after and I am still getting compliments on the cake. My brother does not like chocolate cake however when he tasted this cake he has raved about it for almost a whole week. Great recipe thank you for sharing
After drooling watching this video, I decided to make it. My icing was your chocolate cream cheese and I need to work on my technique for that. But, the cake was moist, chocolaty and fluffy and the icing was delicious. Thanks for the inspiration Sam.
I’ve ditched my old chocolate cake recipes and exclusively use this one. Always perfect and always tons of compliments. I actually love every single recipe of yours that I’ve made. ❤
LOVE it!! Definitely the best chocolate cake!! I made it a a bundt pan, look gorgeous! I didn't frost it, still delicious ❤👏👏👏👏. Also love your decoration, anyone can do it ❤
Well....today we had 20 people arrive from across the ocean (we are in northern Scandinavia on a dairy farm). It was belting down rain, they were a combnation of several families and all tired and hungry from a long journey . I made this cake early in the morning, filled it with some German Chocolate filling I had made ahead in the fridge (I know...the cake is supposed to be light chocolate but....) and followed your frosting directions but had to use 1/2 light and 1/2 dark chocolate. There are no words...the rave reviews were almost embarrassing. One little four year old boy took one bite and shouted, "Oh my gosh!!! the frosting!!!" Most of all , the cake was so moist we could hardly believe it. I seldom write reviews but you get a gold star times ten and every adult present asked for your website. Thank you SOOOO much. You have a wonderful talent. Now we are going to try all your other cakes!
Thank you for the recipe! I just made this for my sister's birthday and she said it was the best cake she'd ever had! I did add a layer of chocolate ganache in the middle and on top along with the frosting for some extra fudgy-ness. Love it!
Sam, I made this beautiful tasty cake for my grandsons 12th birthday, when the cake was served there was complete silence and everyone children like adults were saying “man this is good, cool cake Nonna, my this is a really good cake mom” I was the star ,thank you for a wonderful recipe, you can be sure this will be my go to chocolate cake.
I made this cake yesterday for my mom's birthday and it turned out great. I chose this recipe because of the yolk for tenderness, butter for flavor and buttermilk. The icing was a bit airy for me so I added thick caramel to it for additional sweetness and thicker texture. I only had Droste dutch processed cocoa so I doubled the baking soda amount and used baking powder instead to account for the acidity. This recipe is a keeper.
Hi, I also only have dutch processed cocoa powder where I live and would like to know how to substitute it. I didn’t quite understand if you added baking soda and baking powder?
I just made this cake for my son's birthday but used a Russian Buttercream flavored with strawberry. OMG!! Heavenly perfection!! SPR is my go to channel for all things scrumptious!! Sam does an amazing job explaining the process and I love her blog with hints and tips! Thank you SPR!!
Where do I start? Oh yes, all of us are trapped at home and discovering baking and cooking at a new level. In all my years I have never found any website promoting recipes that turned out quite like what is shown on the website or tv...until now. I have now made this Best Chocolate Cake, Buttercream Frosting, Chocolate Covered Strawberries, Flourless Chocolate Cake, Homemade Whipped Cream, How to make Chocolate Ganache, The Best Carrot Cake, The Best Cream Cheese Frosting and even the How to Make Buttermilk Substitute. Holy crap...that is a ton! And all from Sam at Sugar Spun Run. Every single recipe, yes, EVERY single recipe I have tried has been the absolute best and my wife, who is usually not a sweets person has enjoyed my new “flexing the baking muscle”. And of course my daughter has asked me to make a new special birthday cake for one of her stuffed animals each time so it’s been fun having surprise birthdays almost every week. And even better, I’m baking all of these with my daughter and son (4 and 2 years old)...definitely special times in the kitchen. There is no better person who clearly illustrates and guides you through the necessary details to perfect the recipe on the first attempt. Sam, I can’t thank you enough and if this working-from-home/COVID-19 has any positive it is that I found you and your TH-cam channel and website. You are now my only go to for dessert recipes (and I’m gonna try your homemade pretzels next). Please keep doing what you are doing. Oh yeah, regarding this Best Chocolate Cake Ever recipe...holy smokes!!!!! So rich, decadent, moist, chocolatey and easy to make.
Wow thank you so much!! I’m sorry I didn’t see this earlier but your comment has made my day! 😊😊 I put a lot of work and a lot of testing into my recipes so I’m so happy to hear they turn out well for you. Stay safe and keep making those special memories in the kitchen. I’m glad to be a part of it. 😊😊
Thank you so much for this wonderful cake recipe my daddy really loves it he said that it was one of his favorite cakes he’s ever had. And it could also be because I made it with love for my daddy and it could also be because of your recipe thank you so much.
Made this cake last night. The best chocolate cake I've ever had and so easy to make. Thank you and please never stop sharing recipes with us! I've tried lots of TH-cam channels recipes and yours are always my favorite.
Another winner! This cake is delicious and has a wonderfully rich taste with the mixture of ingredients, including the coffee. Outstanding and thank you!! 🥇😊
So instead of being productive and doing my homework (don't worry, it'll get done eventually lol), I've come to your channel and have decided I'm going to try out this recipe this weekend alongside your pound cake recipe to use for a trifle dessert! I've always been hesitant to make any sort of cake from scratch because I guess I was just unaware of how easy they can be.. and I used to call myself a amateur baker, haha. I am looking forward to trying these recipes out and watching more of your videos!
OMG you hit the nail on the head when you mentioned vanilla cake. Let me tell you, this gal here hooked me a few years ago during Covid, with her vanilla cake recipe that no lie, looked like, then when I baked it, TASTED like someone's grandma from the south made it. I have stuck with Sam ever since. You can not go wrong with her recipes.
I tried this recipe last night. This chocolate cake was delicious!! I followed your recipe exactly as instructed. I love that you used coffee. This is 3rd recipe I tried from your channel. I'm not using anyone else's recipes. I trust Sugar Spun Run for all recipes! 💜
YOOO SUGAR SPUN RUN,!!! HOW YOU DOING?! OMG! I COULD NOT WAIT TO MAKE THIS CAKE! OUT OF ALL THE CHOCOLATE CAKE I’VE MADE... THIS IS THE BEST I WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE THIS FOR MY FAMILY AND OTHERS! LESS A BETTER RECIPE COMES MY WAY BUT I HIGHLY DOUBT THAT!!! I WISH I COULD LOAD A PIC AND SHOW YOU MINES!!! THIS CAKE IS SO GOOD! ICING & ALL!!! I’VE BEEN WAITING ALL MY LIFE TO MAKE THIS FROSTING NOW I SEE YOU ON YT & OMG I AM SOOO HAPPY! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Hello! Nice recipe and I can't wait to try this. Just a few questions, first, can I use white sugar instead of brown sugar? What should I do instead? Second, you mentioned half a cup of melted butter, which means a stick(8tsb) melted butter right? Just double-check and thank you.
I lovvvvvveeeee ur recipes all r great I like the way u explain it's so detailing... can understand easily.. thank u for ur wonderful recipes I love moist soft n fudgy n u have it all ..love u n thank💛💛
why do some cake recipes call for both baking soda and b-powder?....what is the reason when you use one and not the other? It was the first time I made the buttermilk substitute....glad I watched your video...sure enough I would have added lemon juice to the whole cup of milk....I appreciated how you took the time to give a demo...
I made your strawberry cake a week or two ago, and it was outstanding. :-) So I'm gung ho to try this one ... but since we really don't like coffee flavor, was hoping for reassurance that it's really true that you can't taste the coffee in this? Would love to hear from anyone who's made it.
Hey Sam! I tried your chocolate cake recipe and will be using it moving forward! it is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your tricks and awesome knowledge.
Hi, Sam: I have tried a couple of cake different recipes but the best Hershey's chocolate cake recipe on their can....anyway since you did hook me on your brown butter choc chip cookies I gave this recipe a try...I also liked the fact you use some 'brown' sugar' which I love....I made your cake and the icing last night....the texture of the cake is so good moist tender crumb...closest to Hershey's cake yet and that's a huge compliment....I would make both the cake and icing again...and I am sure that I will!
Thank you so much. I’m really glad you enjoyed this cake. The brown butter cookies really are super tasty if I must say so myself. I really appreciate you taking the time to leave me feedback. Happy baking. 😊
Hello, I'm new to your channel, I just subscribed, I really like your recipes, and I also like because you write down the ingredients in cups and grams, Thank you 👍
On Monday I’ll try this. I have to say that I LOVE your vanilla cake recipe, even tho I’m not a English speaker, I do understand you very well, you’re so sweet and your recipes are the best! ❤️🥺 I will check out your channel and subscribe as well ;)
Thank you so much for this recipé. It was my best tasting chocolate cake ever! Unfortunately, mine came out sunken in the middle. I don't know what I did wrong.😒
I am new to your channel. I can’t wait to try this cake. I have made the carrot cake for my sons birthday and it was amazing so I’m sure this is going to be just as good if not more!.
Love your Chanel and love yours cakes! I’ve tried the Victoria sponge and this chocolate cake and they both turned out amazing👌. Can you please give me a recipe for this same cake but a lemon cake and with same frosting but lemon 🙏
Looks like a great recipe. I was wondering if I could use it in a bunt pan? What would the time be with the temperature remain the same? Thank you so much.
Hi your cakes are absolutely devine i must admit , i make always this way however im just trying to wonder if a person needs just 1 cake not the 2 , can i use one pan
Made this frosting for my husbands birthday cake tonight. So good! I was worried I would get the melted chocolate factor wrong but I didn’t. I used a cup of chocolate chips. I think a cup and a half would be better. I would like it a tiny bit chocolateyer. More chocolate? Would I need to change anything else?
This should be a very richly chocolate cake. If your cake wasn't chocolatey enough you want to make sure you are using very hot water and coffee to help bloom the cocoa powder. You could try adding a few more chocolate chips in the frosting but I'm not sure how much more you can safely add.
I tried to make this cake twice, but the first time I made it, it was too dense and not very fluffy :( I think it was because I overmixed it. I made it yesterday trying not to mix as much, and it turned out better. But, it was still a tad "cakey", not as light/airy. Do you have any thoughts on why the cake might be turning out dense? I'm pretty sure I followed the recipe exactly..I even tried your German chocolate cake recipe (which turned out delicious!!), and that worked better even though it seems to be the same recipe. On another note, your recipes are great!! I tried your chili recipe twice now, and they've been a hit both times :D Your channel for sure deserves more love, especially seeing how hard you work to get out new recipes each week!!
I’m so sorry you are having issues. This one kinda has me stumped. The German Chocolate cake is very similar to this cake with some minor tweaks. The only thing I can think could be happening is that there is too much flour. Have you checked out my video on measuring flour? Other than that I don’t know what could be happening. I hope you are able to perfect it. I’m glad you have enjoyed everything else. I’m bummed this one isn’t working for you. 😔😔
@@SugarSpunRun Thanks for your input! I'll check out your video on measuring flour. I appreciate your help :) The cake's still delicious, though, esp. the chocolate frosting!
Love your chocolate cake. It's a staple in our house now! Do you have any suggestions on how to cut these cake layers in half? Because they're soo moist I have trouble cutting them in half without them crumbling. Should I just bake thinner layers instead?
i really love your channel and agree with other comments that it is underrated and should have way more views! i’ve tried your recipes and can honestly say they are awesome and can guarantee you a great tasting cake! i do think that if you upped your decorating game you would get more views/subs! people eat with their eyes... which is kind of sad because a lot of great looking cakes taste bland and dry! yours are awesome and should get the attention they deserve!
Thank you so much Christiana!😊 I have been working on my decorating, I am just not good at it😔 but at least I know my cakes taste good!
i agree this channel should have way more views!
@@SugarSpunRun your decorations are perfect, don't change it. It is so classy and natural!
I totally agree! Recipes so good but I noticed not much views
@@SugarSpunRun same here
just my 2 cents because maybe I have become a hardcore fan.... I have no affiliations with this woman at all. but every time I need a guaranteed recipe I come here! she is by far the best and just so pleasant to watch! i have unsubscribed to 90 percent of my youtube channels and this is one of the few that stays :) and also the recipes are so much less complicated than some other channels like the preppy kitchen :/ so i just had to make sure this was heard! im not sure why the views have not skyrocketed by now but maybe its an advertising thing ? but if you are here this is the best channel for baked goods and maybe other food too....lots of love from South Africa (woopwoop)
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. This comment made my day. I'm so glad you enjoyed everything so much. :)
SAME!! I have NEVER had a fail with her recipes!!! They are always always always a huge hit!
Very true. You should also try her lemon and blueberry cake. It's to die for
I saw this comment and thought it was mine. Right down to the preppy kitchen stuff 😂😂
I totally agree with this comment!!! She is always my go to person 😊. Never fails
This is the best chocolate cake I've ever made in my life (incl that Hershey's one). The texture and flavor is unmatched for a chocolate cake that only uses cocoa powder. Butter and coffee make a real difference. It stays moist on the fridge for a few days if it can last that long.

It is the Best chocolate cake!! I just made it in a bundt pan, and look and taste amazing by itself ❤
This cake was sooooo good! After experimenting with soooooo many recipies for a vanilla cake, i Finally found one, BUT i didnt have a chocolate cake one.... After watching many chocolate recipies, this was my final choice and the results were AMAZING!!!! I wanted a fluffy yet moist cake! Everyone need to try this!😛😛😍😍🥰🤩😇
Yay! I’m so glad you enjoyed it so much. 😊
Freshly milled flour works with this recipe. I took the leap yesterday and tried (not expecting success). I used a 125g per cup standard using Soft White Wheat berries (not sifted) and followed the rest of the recipe. Then I made a stovetop fudge frosting. I just got thorough trying it and it was absolutely perfect. It was very moist and not gritty in the least. I did convection bake at 335F in a parchment bottom 9" x 13".
Thank you for the feedback! :)
I did it!!! Yesterday was my husband´s birthday, it was a success! It´s delicious, thank you so much!!!😄😍
I'm so glad everyone enjoyed it! Happy Birthday to your husband! :)
I made this. it's my 2nd time for the reverse cream method. The other was a vanilla cake. I don't ever see myself making anything but reverse cream cakes ever again.

I’m so glad everyone enjoyed it so much! Nothing wrong with adding a little extra chocolate if you ask me! 😊
Sam, I made this beautiful tasty cake for my grandsons 12th birthday, when the cake was served there was complete silence and everyone children like adults were saying “man this is good, cool cake Nonna, my this is a really good cake mom” I was the star ,thank you for a wonderful recipe, you can be sure this will be my go to chocolate cake.
I made it a couple of days ago. Turned out great! ❤I did reduce the sugar a bit since I assume every American cake is too sweet.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much! :)
Made this yesterday. Absolutely fantastic flavors. My wife and I love it. Will be going into our “make again” box for sure.
Thank you!

Sounds delicious! I'm so happy you're enjoying my recipes and blog posts ❤
Where do I start? Oh yes, all of us are trapped at home and discovering baking and cooking at a new level. In all my years I have never found any website promoting recipes that turned out quite like what is shown on the website or tv...until now. I have now made this Best Chocolate Cake, Buttercream Frosting, Chocolate Covered Strawberries, Flourless Chocolate Cake, Homemade Whipped Cream, How to make Chocolate Ganache, The Best Carrot Cake, The Best Cream Cheese Frosting and even the How to Make Buttermilk Substitute. Holy crap...that is a ton! And all from Sam at Sugar Spun Run. Every single recipe, yes, EVERY single recipe I have tried has been the absolute best and my wife, who is usually not a sweets person has enjoyed my new “flexing the baking muscle”.

Thank you so much for this wonderful cake recipe my daddy really loves it he said that it was one of his favorite cakes he’s ever had. And it could also be because I made it with love for my daddy and it could also be because of your recipe thank you so much.
Probably a bit of both. 😊 I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😊😊
Made this cake last night. The best chocolate cake I've ever had and so easy to make. Thank you and please never stop sharing recipes with us! I've tried lots of TH-cam channels recipes and yours are always my favorite.

Mam I try this recipe
Fabulous taste
I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much! :)
Hello! Nice recipe and I can't wait to try this. Just a few questions, first, can I use white sugar instead of brown sugar? What should I do instead? Second, you mentioned half a cup of melted butter, which means a stick(8tsb) melted butter right? Just double-check and thank you.
You can use granulated sugar instead of brown sugar you will just lose a little bit of moisture and flavor. And you are correct about the butter. 😊
I lovvvvvveeeee ur recipes all r great I like the way u explain it's so detailing... can understand easily.. thank u for ur wonderful recipes I love moist soft n fudgy n u have it all ..love u n thank💛💛
You're too sweet! I'm so happy you're loving everything 💜
why do some cake recipes call for both baking soda and b-powder?....what is the reason when you use one and not the other? It was the first time I made the buttermilk substitute....glad I watched your video...sure enough I would have added lemon juice to the whole cup of milk....I appreciated how you took the time to give a demo...
I loved your chocolate cake, but please, upload the red velvet recipe 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hi, Paula. Unfortunately I don’t have a red velvet cake at this time. :(
Its so funny, knowing why a red velvet recipe wasnt uploaded. But thankfully SugarSpunRun overcame her fear
I made your strawberry cake a week or two ago, and it was outstanding. :-) So I'm gung ho to try this one ... but since we really don't like coffee flavor, was hoping for reassurance that it's really true that you can't taste the coffee in this? Would love to hear from anyone who's made it.
You cannot taste the coffee. I am not a coffee person either. I really recommend adding it. It really brings out the chocolate flavor.
I love your website!! Always use it for my baking needs
Thank you so much for following along! I’m glad you are enjoying everything. 😊
Sugar Spun Run thank you for saying thank you! Have a good day
Hey Sam! I tried your chocolate cake recipe and will be using it moving forward! it is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your tricks and awesome knowledge.
Awesome! Thank you! ❤
Hi, Sam: I have tried a couple of cake different recipes but the best Hershey's chocolate cake recipe on their can....anyway since you did hook me on your brown butter choc chip cookies I gave this recipe a try...I also liked the fact you use some 'brown' sugar' which I love....I made your cake and the icing last night....the texture of the cake is so good moist tender crumb...closest to Hershey's cake yet and that's a huge compliment....I would make both the cake and icing again...and I am sure that I will!
Thank you so much. I’m really glad you enjoyed this cake. The brown butter cookies really are super tasty if I must say so myself. I really appreciate you taking the time to leave me feedback. Happy baking. 😊
I wish you and all your loved one's a Happy Thanksgiving bet there will be tons of great food on the table....enjoy!
Amazingly delicious!
Thank you 😋
That cake looks perfect! Yum!
Thank you so much! 😊
That looks soooo yummy! I am going to try it sometime soon.
I hope you love it! 😊

Thank you 😋
@@SugarSpunRun Your Welcome 😋
Thank you Sugar
Thanks!
Enjoy!
So glad I found your channel, everything looks wonderful with great instructions ❤️👍
Thanks so much 😊
Love this! Will it make a difference if I use light or dark brown sugar?
Darker will just have a bit of a richer flavor. :)
When i was growng up coffee was used in a variety recipes
It really enhances the flavor here. :)
We just tried your choc cake! Very very good! ❤️
Glad you liked it!!
I am new to your channel. I can’t wait to try this cake. I have made the carrot cake for my sons birthday and it was amazing so I’m sure this is going to be just as good if not more!.
Welcome! I hope you love all of the videos and this cake! :)
Love simple
I love this channel
Thank you! :)
I do prefer one pan , i do remember in olden days we onli use 1 baking pan an then u just got one baking pan to wash
Love your Chanel and love yours cakes! I’ve tried the Victoria sponge and this chocolate cake and they both turned out amazing👌. Can you please give me a recipe for this same cake but a lemon cake and with same frosting but lemon 🙏
I’m so glad you enjoyed the cake so much! I don’t have a lemon cake but I see you found the lemon cupcakes already. 😊
Thank you it seems enterested tanx for sharing this video ihave another idea
Looks like a great recipe. I was wondering if I could use it in a bunt pan? What would the time be with the temperature remain the same? Thank you so much.
It could work in a bundt pan, but I'm honestly not sure on the bake time.
Sam, thank you I found your Bunt cake video problem solved :)
Hi your cakes are absolutely devine i must admit , i make always this way however im just trying to wonder if a person needs just 1 cake not the 2 , can i use one pan
If your pan is big enough to hold all of the batter that is fine, but you will need a big/deep pan for that. :)
Hola ☺️☺️☺️ ame tu cake es delicioso deberías subir la receta de cake de red velved please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
love your recipe.... taste amazing...but my texture if the cake seemed more denser then yours....what did I do wrong? Please see reply
O no! This cake can become dense, mainly if it is over-mixed. :(
The circles of parchment paper also come pre-cut.
Can this cake be baked in the microwave using silicone molds🎉If so, how long should I bake it??
I have honestly never tried it so I can’t say for sure how it would go.
@@SugarSpunRun I'm going to try it using a large Pyrex.
Made this frosting for my husbands birthday cake tonight. So good! I was worried I would get the melted chocolate factor wrong but I didn’t. I used a cup of chocolate chips. I think a cup and a half would be better. I would like it a tiny bit chocolateyer. More chocolate? Would I need to change anything else?
This should be a very richly chocolate cake. If your cake wasn't chocolatey enough you want to make sure you are using very hot water and coffee to help bloom the cocoa powder. You could try adding a few more chocolate chips in the frosting but I'm not sure how much more you can safely add.
Very nice
wow looks tasty
Enjoy! :)
I tried to make this cake twice, but the first time I made it, it was too dense and not very fluffy :( I think it was because I overmixed it. I made it yesterday trying not to mix as much, and it turned out better. But, it was still a tad "cakey", not as light/airy. Do you have any thoughts on why the cake might be turning out dense? I'm pretty sure I followed the recipe exactly..I even tried your German chocolate cake recipe (which turned out delicious!!), and that worked better even though it seems to be the same recipe.
On another note, your recipes are great!! I tried your chili recipe twice now, and they've been a hit both times :D Your channel for sure deserves more love, especially seeing how hard you work to get out new recipes each week!!
I’m so sorry you are having issues. This one kinda has me stumped. The German Chocolate cake is very similar to this cake with some minor tweaks. The only thing I can think could be happening is that there is too much flour. Have you checked out my video on measuring flour? Other than that I don’t know what could be happening. I hope you are able to perfect it. I’m glad you have enjoyed everything else. I’m bummed this one isn’t working for you. 😔😔
@@SugarSpunRun Thanks for your input! I'll check out your video on measuring flour. I appreciate your help :) The cake's still delicious, though, esp. the chocolate frosting!
I hope I was able to give u enough info so could I use my small or big tray/ pan for this recipe
Yum
Love your chocolate cake. It's a staple in our house now! Do you have any suggestions on how to cut these cake layers in half? Because they're soo moist I have trouble cutting them in half without them crumbling. Should I just bake thinner layers instead?
Did you use light or Dark Brown sugar?
Sorry I caught it on the other comment. Usually I use light brown sugar here but either will work.
Thank you 💕
You’re welcome 😊
