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 :)

Hello did you use unsweetened cocoa powder?

[@sumonhan9602]

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.

[@rashielangelah]

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!

[@rashielangelah]

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. )

Hi there. How much cream cheese should I add? Do I need to omit the buttermilk?

[@YummyTreats]

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 ..
