Beth's Chocolate Birthday Cake Recipe | ENTERTAINING WITH BETH

[@sarahanwar7081]

Theres something so charming about this cake. Your parents knew what they were doing. ❤

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Ha! Yes there's something so sweet about a homemade birthday cake! Ha! :) This is a yummy one too!

[@Lynker]

Your voice is so calming, and it looked delicious!

[@av2547]

wait until u try it, i am becoming the it girl lol for her choc cake recipes

[@av2547]

i know probably lots of people tried this recipe but i'm telling you this is it, loved it

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Awe so glad it was a hit! :) YAY!

[@Ganaha_Celosia_Priskos]

I really love this! You can really see how much love goes into the cake! It proves that looks aren't everything! For my sister and I, our parents always made us strawberry shortcakes. But instead of biscuits, they'd use sponge cake. It was kind of the Japanese take on it!

[@CrimsonStigmata]

My cakes were always store bought. I didn't have a homemade Birthday cake from scratch until I spent my summer vacation with my Uncle in Laws parents in New York.

[@OdileFeria]

amazing, delicius not too sweet. i made this for saturday family lunch and it was a hit. for sure the perfect chocolate cake

[@nawaf2012aa]

Beth that is definitely a perfect birthday cake. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

[@PatriciaGG]

Beth! This cake is perfect for me because i´m not a professional with decoration cakes. I love the frosting that you made because it´s not too sweet and goes well with the decadent chocolate cake. The texture looks so moist as well! Loved it! Have a beautiful week! Patricia.

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

+Patricia G.G.Ha! I know me neither, the simpler the cake assembly the better! :) It's also a great one for kids parties too because it's not that sweet and parents will enjoy it as well! :)

[@insayndevilchild]

I'm with you on the frosting. I've dislike pretty much every cake frosting I've ever had save for when I've I've had except for whipped cream or cream cheese (especially the whipped kind) frosting

[@joeruggieroathome]

Wonderful memories!!! They were filled with love!

[@simonlind4904]

Thank you Beth for a great recipe! I made this cake for my sister in law's birthday and everyone loved it! 😋

[@thilam6017]

Hi Beth, tq for this wonderful recipe. Tomorrow is our diwali celebration. I made this cake and everyone at home enjoyed it and its gone in few minutes. Now baking one more for the celebration. So easy but so tasty. Love it.

[@lindamay3759]

Oh I LOVE this recipe Beth, I don’t have to take out my mixer, will use my hand mixer for the frosting! and I do love the fact that the frosting isn’t sweet!

[@1024specialkay]

yay, I think this was my request a while ago since I wanted to make a birthday cake homemade version for my friends and family. This looks amazing! Thanks Beth!

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Hi Guys, for all those who are asking about the cake stand, I got it back around Thanksgiving at Cost Plus World Market. I see they don't have the dark base anymore but here's the lighter version www.worldmarket.com/product/round+marble+and+wood+pedestal+stand.do or I also see Amazon has this one which might be closer to the one I have :) amzn.to/1R6X5Qp And for those asking about the sweater :) I got it a few years back at JCrew. But I see they have one similar on their factory outlet site. In light blue which would be lovely for spring :) factory.jcrew.com/womens-clothing/sweaters/crewnecks_boatnecks/PRD~E9343/E9343.jsp?Nbrd=F&Nloc=en_US&Nrpp=48&Npge=1&Ntrm=polka+dot&isSaleItem=false&color_name=NATURAL%20SKY&isFromSearch=true&isNewSearch=true&hash=row1 Happy Shopping! :)

[@spirit4away]

+Entertaining With Beth Hi beth Can I ask, what the difference between a Light or dark pan ? Does color affect the mix ? And i need the link in the Amazon for your pans . Thank you so much

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

+mar am here is a link on Amazon but looks like it's only sold as a set? Great though if you need the other items too :) amzn.to/1Vuw4ti otherwise these are similar from Kohls. www.kohls.com/product/prd-2319987/t-fal-9-in-round-cake-pan.jsp?ci_mcc=ci&EC%20FOOD%20PREP&CSE&CID=shopping15&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=46472734&gclid=Cj0KEQjwzq63BRCrtIuGjImRoIIBEiQAGLHdYZNR5kvjYVea5q1LoCW_Sf5UwDc4o-8AfjUkycf1CpcaAikH8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CL2ric23yssCFYVThgodgycK4Q as for light or dark pans I really haven't noticed much of a difference. But here's an interesting article that explains it more in detail: www.thekitchn.com/do-dark-colored-pans-heat-differently-weve-got-chemistry-219610

Best Cake Everrrrr!!!.It is ADDICTIVE!!!! Thank You Beth! :)

[@Sharbyxo]

awesome looking forward to more cake recipes

[@andreaj2621]

I made this cake and it is delicious, not so sweet just like I like it 😋 One tip: I don't have non-stick cake pans so on the ones I used I rub some butter and cocoa powder instead of flour so edges won't look white.

[@ansverhagen7402]

Finally a cake that is not covered in fondant on youtube! Looks great Beth!

[@hp2q]

Beth, you're amazing. Thanks for the recipe:)

[@kahlichin]

Thank you, this is a great and most detail tutorials 😄

[@heartylara7843]

I wanna try this cake for my birthday on Monday 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎂🎂 i made your carrot cupcake 🧁 and i love it its so delicous😍👌🏻 thank for this recipe Beth. Keep safe and heathy❤️❤️❤️

[@Emily-ji2xw]

The cake along with the cream frosting looks delicious! I totally agree, sometimes frosting on cakes are way too sweet and overwhelm the overall cake so the cream was a nice substitute =)

[@davorpanchevski1040]

A real showstopper. So simple and easy to make but so festive and entertaining. You are amazing Beth :) xoxo P.s. Please in one in your next videos make homemade French croissants. Yhank you :)

[@rabailkhan2211]

Hey ^_^ just sat through and watch all the dessert videos. I want to run my own bakery after i finish college and your really inspiring to me and really helping me with ideas to become an amazing pastry chef. Really enjoying the dessert and cant wait to see more. Also could you make some Sable a la poshe or cherry brownies please ^_^ Good luck with future videos and cant wait to see more xx

[@jordanjamieson7540]

+Jordan Jamieson On second thought, Please could you make me some cherry bakewells as i love cherries and almonds, favourite flavours of all time and ive always struggled to make them ^_^ it help so much and im sure yours would be awesome, thank you so much if you can ^_^ xx

[@EZGlutenFree]

Gorgeous cake Beth I like the 3 layers too.

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

+EZGlutenFree Right?! 3 Layers is the way to go! :) Ha!

[@sijoonjang3997]

These are great! Loved your blogpost too, it was really cute! I'm definitely going to try this but only as 2-tier cake since I only own 2 cake pans haha. Maybe I'll just use the spring-form pan for the top layer and make the top side flat! Thank you Beth for always posting these sweet and lovely videos! :D

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

+Sijoon Jang Oh sure why not break out the cheesecake pan too :) That would work! So glad you liked the blog post it was fun to reminisce on it all :)

[@sijoonjang3997]

+Entertaining With Beth Beth I made a cake using your recipe with some tweaks (mainly a little less water in the batter without chocolate and vanilla whipped cream with cream cheese frosting (2:1 ratio)) for my friends' graduation! They loved the cake so much because it wasn't overly sweet but was chocolaty and fudge!!! Thank you so much for your recipe! :D

[@janetway3288]

[@marleennavarro557]

Good evening Beth thanks for all your recepe I have a question what kind of flour do u use for your cakes. Thanks

[@chaniinfy]

Hi Beth, I am a super duper fan of your channel and you off course..! I have tried so many of your recipes and they have worked beautifully for me. I have made this chocolate cake so many times but recently instead of the 3 pans you mentioned I tried to make it in 2 round pans (with straight edge). Not sure but the cake is sinking in the center, can you help me figure out what could be the problem?

[@naomihaugh3245]

This recipe is nice and simple to follow.It is my 22nd birthday on Thursday.

[@annawoell1831]

Beth, I love all your videos! I am a semi-new subscriber have been binge-watching your channel and it makes me so happy! Curious, what are you making for Easter this year with your family?

Hi, Beth. That cake looks absolutely gorgeous. I am amazed at how much you've been progressing every week when making creative ideas. I have a question: where did you get the name Entertaining with Beth come from? Please let me know. Have a lovely weekend, Beth. :) 💖💖💖

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

+Byron Chandler Aww thanks Byron. OK so the name came from a conversation I was having with someone about the name of the channel and what it should be. And I was just going to call it "Easy Entertaining" but then this person said naww you're name should be in it, how about "Entertaining with Beth" :) So I just went with that ha!

[@norah94]

I'll be make it in Eid 😻 , love you and your channel so pretty 💛

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Thank you! So glad you enjoy! :)

[@chebantigue3430]

Hi Ms Beth, I have tried your chocolate cupcakes and it was a family hit right away.Thank you! Im a beginner baker and would like to ask, what if I want to just make two layers but are a bit higher than the ones you've made( like a one and half thick layer),can I just divide my batter into two and bake it in deep 9" pans instead of reducing my ingredients? how long should I bake it then? Or should I reduce the measurement of my ingredients to follow your proportions?

[@AussieAngeS]

That cake looks wonderful and I love the cake lifter it's awesome. Do you find you have to rotate your cake pans Beth? Because if I cook more than one pan at a time, they don't bake evenly.

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

+FitAnge S Ahh great question. I haven't had that experience so I don't rotate. But it might be good to invest in an oven thermometer to make sure your oven runs consistently "at temp" you'd be surprised how "off" ovens can be. Here's a video that explains it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIbWkKahYtSSba8 isn't the "Cake lifter" genius! Ha! Love that thing :)

[@AussieAngeS]

+Entertaining With Beth awesome thank you Beth. I have a thermometer and I think my oven is off. I'll check that out.

[@LindsayLuLu16]

Oh this is perfect! My birthday us next week haha :)

I bet this cake with layers of chocolate icecream in between the layers and on the outside will be supeeeer awesome

[@kaloskysuzette9610]

Can this be made into cupcakes? Looks delicious as always ❤️❤️❤️

[@laurabiscaro8135]

Oooh this reminds me so much of my childhood! My birthday cakes were always made by either my grandma or my mother, and they were ALWAYS chocolate ones hahaha Btw, a little sugestion: sub that hot water for hot coffee, makes all the difference ;)

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

+Laura Biscaro Oh yes love the idea of the coffee! That would certainly kick things up a notch :) Ha! Yum!

Yes you could definitely do it that day before but you may not want to cover it. The frosting will set and you'll keep your swirl designs better. Unless you have something like this cake carrier amzn.to/2kJYoMW I would leave it as it :) What a nice co-worker you are! Sweet!

+SMW330 actually this is a great cake recipes that would be great for people who don't like chocolate. With this recipe you could leave out the lemon and make it vanilla. So moist and delicious! :) Enjoy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJS7p3VjaNuLp5Y

The cake looks really good! (: I was wondering, why water? Why not milk? I've heard that you shouldn't melt chocolate in water. Thanks! :D

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

+Clarissa Machado Water makes the cake lighter. I find milk has too much fat in it and weighs down the cake. So for anything where I want a really light crumb like cakes and muffins, I always use water :)

[@jassonong7894]

Dear Beth,since you make a new video about cake,may I ask you question? My question is about your lemon cake recipe in (Beth in the garden)channel...I really curious can I use lemon juice instead of sour cream because in my country they don't sell here.I hope you can answer it and you're my baker youtuber (eventough you do cooking too) ☺

[@jassonong7894]

And the amount of the lemon juice (if I can use it) ☺

[@uleexxx]

+jasson ong try full fat yogurt instead

[@jassonong7894]

+uleexxx Thanks but is it same as sour cream?

[@uleexxx]

+jasson ong it's more sour and a bit less creamy, but it may work!

[@jassonong7894]

+uleexxx Thanks for answering my question! I appreciate it thanks again.

[@janeenejc2184]

Can I use a different oil like grapeseed oil or coconut oil?

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Sure. I find the coconut oil is better for baking. No prob :) . Hope you enjoy!

Is this recipe useable if I want to use cupcake tins instead?

[@denliv9474]

hi Beth, can i reduce the sugar? what is the maximun value can i reduce?

[@Nyanko0]

instead of vegetables oil can i replace it with butter or olive oil?

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

+Yuii Koh actually something lighter like grapeseed oil would be better. Butter has too much water in it and won't make the cake as moist and light, and olive oil is too heavy. But Grapeseed oil, Canola Oil or Corn Oil would be other good replacements :)
