The BEST Chocolate Cake I’ve ever had (& It's So EASY To Make!)

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Finally classic chocolate cake recipe!!! I tested it MANY times until I'm 100% satisfied and am so glad I can finally share it. Let me know how you enjoyed this cake if you tried it at home. & thank you for giving me a surprise end-of-a-year gift of 100K subs❤ I'm beyond thankful.

[@jamifitz]

Thank you for sharing this Aya && congrats on 100k subs!!

[@mohamedfazlon6240]

Thank you for giving us all the recipes. Much appreciated and you totally deserved the 100k subs. More to come. Happy holidays

[@Kiaravi]

What cocoa powder do you use?

[@francescacuoricino9000]

AMAZING and I imagine fluffy, so Perfect for my boyfriend's old daddy Who loves chocolate and fluffy cakes

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Thank you!

[@emeraldzhen]

Just baked this recipe, half recipe + 1 tsp coffee powder + 1/2 tsp of rum. It is perfect, the texture is exactly the same as shown in the video, flat cake, soft, small cake pores.... PERFECT! Thanks a lot...found my ultimate fave choco cake recipe ❤😊

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

I'm so glad🥰 Thank you for sharing the result!!

[@IcedCupcakes]

When do you put in the coffee? In the hot water?

[@emeraldzhen]

I add coffee powder when adding the flour. So it goes in together with cake flour.

For any Aussie’s that are in pastry living with Aya and you’ve watched the part where buttermilk is made from vinegar in full fat moo juice it’s readily available in Australia in Woolies, Coles , Aldi , Harris Farms and IGA you will find it in the same place as the milk and it’s in a cardboard container but you can also still follow Aya’s recipe on how to make buttermilk ❤ Aussie gal is back in the kitchen rewatching this chocolate cake G.O.A.T as I’m going to make it for hubby’s birthday next weekend 🎉

[@erwingentica3369]

I tried baking this no fuss, easy and simple moist chocolate cake recipe earlier today. Amazing, moist, soft, not too dense, just as you've said it would be! Thank you very much for sharing this recipe with us, also for the tips, truly, I find you generous and awesome for sharing realistic, doable and yummy recipes. More recipes to come!

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Thank you!! I'm glad!!😊

[@aniss7690]

Thank you so much for this recipe. I have tried so many recipes just to find the perfect one and yours is the BEST!! It’s so moist, rich & stay soft even after refrigerating it! I often find other cake recipes to be on the sweeter side but not this one, it’s just perfect! This is my fav chocolate cake ever 😭❤

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Aww I'm so happy to hear that!! Thank you so much❤️

[@shellyj7536]

This is the best chocolate cake ever & the only recipe I use ❤️

[@dianne5904]

I made this cake for a friends birthday, it turned out absolutely amazing, I added some orange zest to the cake batter, i brushed each layer with simple syrup made with fresh squeezed orange juice and sugar, I then put between layers,chocolate Swiss meringue buttercream and orange chocolate sauce , yummy 😋 thank you so much for sharing your delicious recipe ☺️

[@fordictionclass]

I've been looking for a good chocolate cake without coffee. This is exactly what I wanted. It's so chocolatey and has a great texture. Thank you!

[@DailyPositiveAffirmatives]

Thank you for weighing each pan for equal layers and sharing it with us.🎉

[@dewrisherasme6764]

Just made this recipe for my birthday 😂😂 a really nice flavor and consistency, i just replaced the boiling watter with boiling milk...and added more chocolate.

[@loveanuy]

Your recipe is very similar to the one I developed, with a few differences. I use cake flour, 95g more oil (for an extra fudgy texture) and I use hot coffee instead of water to bloom the cocoa then mix it with the wet ingredients.

[@annchovy6]

I typically use coffee for this type of cake, too. My all-time favorite chocolate cake is one made with unsweetened chocolate, sour cream, and coffee. It’s nice to have options with cocoa powder, too, though.

[@الحمدللهسبحانالله-و8ه]

Hi could you write how much is the amount of oil it gets to be please

[@الحمدللهسبحانالله-و8ه]

I want to add instant coffee granules but how much for this amount thank you 😊

[@revathyperumal]

Hi...can you share your recipe

[@SethTheArtist]

Does the cake flour make a big difference I’ve been wondering

[@guavee]

I made this cake for the first time yesterday with salted caramel filling and vanilla swiss buttercream and it was so good! I'ts not extremely sweet which is my usual problem with baking recipes. This one is just the right amount of sweetness while still moist. Excited to bake this again, maybe I'll try making it into cupcakes next time.

[@carolann3321]

I have made this cake so many times, it always turns out beautifully. Love your recipes and videos!!!

[@angbeebee1]

Love your channel. Thank you for being so incredibly generous in sharing your baking knowledge. I learned so much

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

I’m so glad🥰 of course!

[@SwaaderSafar]

Your baking skill is amazing aya

[@Eya_touir]

I tried this cake, couldn't find cake flour so I used regular flour instead so sadly it didn't rise much, and used a ganache filling and maple syrup instead of the buttercream and itt is officially my favorite chocolate cake ever, I even made it twice in 1 week because my family and friends loved it so much, thank you ❤

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

I'm so glad to hear that😊 Thank you for sharing! You are their cake lady now😁💓

[@akshatgurjar6944]

You can use 1 tsp of cornflour in 1 cup of ap flour to make cake flour just make sure to mix them before nicely..

[@Moonmun1626]

Food means purity, and purity means blooms the internal happiness🎉🥰 👌👌🙏.

[@jacquelinenathan3790]

Awesome yummy soft chocolate cake recipe loved it

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Thank you so much 😊

[@athom508]

I love listening to your voice. It's friendly and very inviting. Thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge with us. The best part is listing both metric AND English measurements in the ingredients which is a definite plus. Many KZbin recipes don't. America doesn't use metrics, so again, thank you. Happy New Year.

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

I myself got the measurement issues countless times, it almost makes us feel like making pastries are more complicated and difficult unnecessarily! Thank you for appreciating those little details☺️ Happy New Year to you too!🌟

[@annchovy6]

This is similar to many chocolate cakes I’ve made and seen, but I’m definitely curious to try your version! The crumb looks beautiful! Congratulations on the subscribers- you absolutely deserve it! You are one of the most gracious, and lovely people on KZbin and your recipes don’t disappoint.

[@annchovy6]

BTW which piping tip is that? It looks really beautiful.

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

That's so sweet, thank you so much😌❤️ The French pastry tip I used this time is from Japan, the number 12-10; I looked online and it is very similar to the 1E tip which is much easier to get in most countries, I think!

[@harisatayyaba7730]

I just finished decorating the cake, I followed the exact same!! And cake turned out really soft I'm so excited to have it after i chill it in the fridge Much love 💕

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Thank you for trying it!!🤗 Leave it at room temperature for some time before eating if you want to enjoy a softer texture💓

[@harisatayyaba7730]

Yess!! It was delicious!!! This would be my go to recipe thankyou so much 💕💕💕✨

[@kimctt]

​@@harisatayyaba7730hi, if you don't mind me asking, did you bake the cake, decorate it and leave it in the fridge overnight? Then let it get to room temp before consuming? I want to do that for my son's bday but I'm worried the cake might be dry. I saw that it turned out great for you so I'm wondering if you did those following steps.

[@harisatayyaba7730]

@@kimctt yeah I had the cake after keeping it in the fridge for 4 hours I think, but you can totally keep it over night and defrost it before eating, it's not dry at all, hope that helps :)

[@kimctt]

@@harisatayyaba7730 thank you so much! I'm going to do that. I appreciate your response.

[@mrsp5808]

Congrats to your channel....You deserve it😃😃🤗🤗

[@cherylcalac8485]

Amazing, I wish I could taste it right now❣️

[@fayegopop]

i made this cake!! its so delicious i ended up cooking it for 35 minutes. my milk never curdled (i think its because i use apple cider vinegar) but it was the same end result nonetheless! and i used 1⅓ cup of cocoa instead of ⅔ and ⅙. i also subbed the hot water coffee and it was delicious!

[@SharonPT]

[@Levisgenie]

Hi Aya, looks great! Can I use chocolate whipped cream frosting with this cake?

Hi Aya, what kind of cocoa powder did you use? Can I use Dutch processed cocoa powder?

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

I used cacao barry coco powder which is.. dutched processed! (I'll leave the link in the description box in case you are interested.) But you can use any cocoa powder. It doesn't has to be dutched processed but I personally like to use pure dark coco powder for the rich taste.
