@@jennifertan7079 I’ve been subscribed to this channel for well over a year, I watch every video and I guarantee you that it’s not too much sugar. There are lots of people on KZbin who make videos of themselves cooking a recipe for the first time while pretending that they have made it before. This isn’t one of those channels. Sam is very clear about the fact that she researches and tests everything first with the help of her two lovely assistants, Endora and Tabitha, who don’t like be on camera for some reason.

It took me a while to make so next time I’m going to bake the cake the day before and make the frosting the day of. Thank you for a delicious cake recipe! ❤ I’m going to try your key lime pie next, my husband’s favorite.

I made this Monday night and it was so delicious! 😋This was my second attempt at making a cake and I decided to follow your because it was straight forward and easy to follow. I decided to not use my Kitchen aid stand mixer and work everything together in a large bowl with a whisk and spatula. While making it I accidentally poured in 1 cup of hot coffee instead of the 1/2 cup per the recipe. I thought I messed up but decided to bake it anyway. The cake still turned out amazing! Thank you so much recipe Sam!

One thing that I think is important to add for any people who may be thinking about going off script and using regular milk instead of buttermilk (or a homemade acetic milk) is that you will need to use baking powder instead of baking soda. How much, I don’t know because I don’t bake cakes. I do know that baking soda needs acid to interact with and it won’t have enough of it with regular milk. Baking powder comes to the party with its own powdered acid (cream of tartar, I think) that’s activated by the liquid in the recipe for leavening. So, if you use baking soda and regular milk, you will get brownies at best or an unusually large chocolate flavored hockey puck at worst. My recommendation, just buy a 12 ounce container of buttermilk for about a buck. Excellent video, Sam.

What I don't like about using a chocolate bar instead of powdered cocoa for the frosting is how there's such a short window of time between being too hot to use and too cold so it's stiffening up again. That or heating it up too quickly where it makes the chocolate grainy.

This cake looks amazing! Sam, I notice you tend to opt for natural cocoa powder vs dutch processed. I always have Guittard dutch cocoa powder around for a recipe or two of mine, but should definitely just pick up a container of natural cocoa powder too. Any reason you choose the natural over dutch (color, balance with the sugars you use, acidity, stronger flavor overall, etc)? Thanks again!
