#darkchocolatecake #matildainspired
Points to note:
1. Bake at 160•C preheated oven for 45 mins to 1hr depending on your oven. I was using 135•C on the video because my oven isn’t perfectly working anymore.
2. You may add expresso if the cake is just for adults to have a more distinct taste and stronger aroma. If it’s meant for a kids party then please use the regular recipe.
3. If you want it fluffy and a bit spongy, you can add more eggs.
4. If you want to have it super moist. Freeze the cakes when its hot and then fill the cakes with a hot filling the next day or atleast after 6hrs so the cakes will absorb the steam and it will make the cakes super moist.

Amazing recipe! But i had a question, can we use cooking oil instead of vegetable oil?

[@MaryGraceArcipe]

Yes you can but make sure you use or consume the cake right away. Cooking oil is not good on cakes when you store it or freeze it because it usually sleeps.

How do I cook the chocolate glaze for the top can U give me the recipe please? Thank u

[@shellic5166]

This was 100% the best cake I ever made. My entire family said this is the only chocolate cake I am allowed to make. Even those who don't like chocolate cake ate it. I did add 2 eggs, espresso powder and exchanged half the sugar for brown sugar, plus a 1/4 cup less of sugar to make it a bit less sweet. I wouldn't remove too much as it wasn't sweet to begin with. Thanks for this great recipe. Just wondering if we can use this same recipe for cupcakes or if there needs to be changes? Thanks

[@MaryGraceArcipe]

Thank you so much.. and yes, this can definitely be made into cupcakes. You can add lesser water to make it a bit denser.

[@shellic5166]

@MaryGraceArcipe thank you! I did make them last nght with the recipe as is and they turned out great. However, I think I do like mine a little denser, so I will try with less water next time. I appreciate it! 🩷

it looks tasty 😋 🤤 but may I know why do you use boiled water instead of warm or room temperature one ?!

It will incorporate all the ingredients better thus making sure all portions of the cake is balance and no lumps. It lessens bubbles too. These are my observations only.

Hey i tried your cake recipe it was good. I have one concern though the temperature you use that is 135 degree Celsius for 35 mins .. but my cake does not bake at 135 degrees And i also increase the time Any suggestions why does that happen? Although i baked 3 times using your recipe..but i had to increase the time as well as temperature.

[@MaryGraceArcipe]

I think that ovens are not the same. Just use whatever is suitable for your oven. Most bakers use 160 degrees. It won’t work for my oven. Also please make sure that oven is preheated for 15 minutes. I hope this will help. 😊

Hello. Thank you for the recipe. It's very easy to follow. But unfortunately, i tried it and failed. My cake is too moist? It doesn't hold any structure. It just too crumbly. But when i tested with toothpick, it came out clean. So i think it's cooked. Although the shape become a big blob, but it sure does taste really good. Can you help me? Do you have any suggestion? Thank you 😊

[@duhitaandanari6401]

Btw, when i compare my batter to yours, i think mine is a bit too runny. Is it might be the problem?

[@MaryGraceArcipe]

Hi! Thanks for this feedback, it can be that you mixed the batter longer than necessary so it accumulated too much air and make sure you take out the cake from the pan when it has cooled off a bit already. Usually moist cakes can be too crumbly when it’s still warm because we are using vegetable oil so it doesn’t get too densed.
