And he had no idea where I got the recipe from and we have not watch the movie in about 20 years … so crazy!!! I will always use this recipe now!!!!

THIS IS THE COMMENT WE NEED!! Oh god thank you very much I cannot express my gratitude to you😭

[@jitisha2]

Did you use the same frosting?

[@uttonio]

I am Asian and I am used to having a dessert that is not too sweet. So my taste will be different from a typical American. I spent 7.25 hours making this cake in one day with 3/5 of the amount of sugar suggested in the recipe. Half of the sugar would be a little extreme. I made only 1 layer instead of 3 layers so everything was divided exactly by 3, even the frosting. Even when I already reduced the sugar, the frosting was a little bit too sweet for me and I added 8g of cocoa. Besides, 1 layer was enough for me. At first, I thought with so little amount of ingredients the cake would not be big enough. However, after baking it, adding the frosting and the decoration, the result was a pretty huge and beautiful cake. Everyone LOVES it. My dad said the cake was really delicious and he rated it a 10 out of 10, even though he does not like cakes at all. He even ate a second piece and told me that he would be eager to eat the pieces left in the fridge. When being asked to comment about the level of sweetness of the cake, he said: “The sweetness is just right, not too sweet or less sweet. The sweetness of this cake is similar to a cake of a 5-star restaurant, no joke”. My cousin who is picky said it was tasty too. 10/10 again. She also wanted another piece for her daughter and said she would drop by my house other times to eat the cake haha. I had for myself a second piece too. I have watched around 6 videos making chocolate cake. Then I think the reason why this video has so many views is because of the success rate of the cake. The recipe she suggests ensures that you 99.9% get a tasty cake. Just follow this ultimate recipe, make changes to your preferences and you will succeed in making this cake!

[@Romy---]

American recipes use soooo much sugar, WAY too sweet. But this cake looks amazing so I was looking at how much sugar I could left out to still try it.

[@MeryMeryem]

Can you give me your recipe to this cake? I want to do less sweet and also just one, like u did

[@uttonio]

@@MeryMeryem happy to help! Ingredients: - 150g all-purpose flour - 130g granulated sugar - 52g unsweetened cocoa powder + 14g + 71g = 137g. - 6g baking soda. - 3g baking powder. - 2g salt. - 1 large egg. - 117g milk + 20ml milk = 137ml milk. - 10g lemon juice. - 80g warm coffee water, not too hot, with 4g coffee. - 93g butter + 10g butter for the pan + 125g butter: 228g - 4g + 5g = 9g vanilla extract - 90g cream cheese, softened - 168g powdered sugar - Toppo chocolate sticks. - Strawberry, blueberry, mint leaves.

@@uttonio Thank you very much! 🥰 Lemon juice for the cake right?

[@uttonio]

@@MeryMeryem girl. Here you are. Making butter milk: 117g milk + 10g lemon juice. Let stand 5 minutes. The milk will get thicker and clumpy. Wait for butter and buttermilk to be at room temperature.

I baked this a few months ago for bingo and everyone loves it. Will make again tonight for my family. Thank you!! God reward you

[@null0byte]

Substituting strong coffee for the hot water, and melted butter (or if you want to get fancy, clarified butter) for the oil won't change the consistency of the end result but it will greatly enhance the richness of the cake.

[@null0byte]

The Stay At Home Chef Ok. Your recipe is very close to a recipe I had gotten a couple decades ago from (of all places) the American Heart Association Cookbook called Black Devils Food Cake. The only difference between them is the other one used hot strong black coffee to enhance the flavor, the baked texture is identical in appearance to this one, just darker due to the coffee, and extremely moist as well. If you say using butter changes the moisture I'll take your word for it, I've just been going through my old recipes and replacing oil with clarified butter and (at least for me) the results haven't really changed. But, I will admit I was basing it off how very close the two recipes were. One thing I like to do with mine, since it appears to make about half the amount this one does, is turn it into the second layer of an overload cake. Bottom layer flourless chocolate cake, top layer the black devils food, and then a white chocolate whipped frosting.

[@lindajones9038]

The Stay At Home Chef Hi I have a couple of questions about the chocolate cake recipe you said we can use buttermilk I low fat is that okay they were out of regular and what is the way to measure your flour should l use a pyrex glass cup or should I use the measuring cup what would be best I really want to get this right 😊thank you

[@allthebest7365]

heroin bought gandi Hai yaaaaar.....😶😶😶😶😶😶😶😶

[@lucvankasteel1378]

That's not true, the oil gives the cake a moist texture, butter doesn't...

[@null0byte]

Luc Van kasteel The poster of the video already addressed that, and I misspoke because I generally use clarified butter, mainly for the flavor (just like I substitute strong black coffee for the water). *for me* clarified butter does not dramatically alter the moisture of the cake enough for me to notice. The removal of the milk solids from the butter will get it closer to oil, but yes oil will work far better than butter of any kind (clarified or no) if you're going for the full moisture. If that's your goal, just stick to something like the strong black coffee or a darker cocoa powder (if you can find it) to enhance the flavor.

[@kwil9599]

Okay so I made this cake and it turned out SO GOOD!! The cake itself is really moist, fluffy and delicate- it is SO SOFT and FUDGY and instead of using the icing stated in her recipe, I filled the cake layers with a whipped chocolate cream, and iced the sides with a rich chocolate buttercream, and covering the top with chocolate ganache. It really does taste INCREDIBLE!!!!

[@VaratchayaSMills]

I actually changed this recipe a bit because I didn‘t have butter milk so I used regular milk instead and added less amount. I also changed the frosting, I only used icing sugar no cream cheese and I used only 2 or 2 1/2 cups of icing sugar more than that it will be too sweet for me. You can add a little bit at a time then taste it.

[@dennis3305]

My daughter and I made this cake for my husband who loves chocolate cake but he wanted it with no icing so we made two small cakes one with icing and one without. OMG!!

Hi. I’m from Trinidad in the Caribbean. I made this cake last night and it is divine! Super moist . I cut the sugar , and I added 1cup of warm water with a tsp of coffee and 1 cup of vegetable oil. It was amazing ! I also made the frosting 😋😋😋❤️

[@esmeraldakitty]

Sounds good. I add the coffee too

[@melvic5199]

I did the same I just added 1 cup of sugar, better 🙌

[@AniGarciaO3]

I tried a version of this cake. I used coffee instead of water (it doesn’t taste like coffee at all but it resaltes the flavour of chocolate), I usually don’t use too much sugar so I only put 2 cups of it and a little less of chocolate powder. The result was a mix a little bit less liquid than she shows in the video although I don’t exactly know the reason (in anything, I added less of dry ingredients)... but, however, I ended with one of the most delicious cake I’ve ever tasted. It was extremely moist and full of taste, and with every day it was more and more assented so it incressed its flavour. After trying lots of recipes, I have to say that, to this day, this one is my favourite one (with all the little things that Inchanged on it).

[@ivyjules]

I will do it for my daughter birthday and i will put coffee as well can u tell me how u made the frosting exactly the same ? And i can put 1 pan in my oven can i put 1 pan at a time ? And of the birthday os Sunday u think we must do it 3 days before ?

[@tipeitor]

@@ivyjules yes , you can put 1 pan.. 2 or 3 days, is fine, make sure leave out of the fridge at least 10 or 15 (if warm) min before eat, so the frosting is a little "melt" and taste better

[@tayibahussain]

@@ivyjules for frosting try chocolate ganash its lovely just cut up some chunks of dark chocolate and warm double cream. Put the chocolate in when you have the double cream off the stove. Put the chocolate in the double cream let is set for about a minute and mix.

You should definitely buy a thermometer to go inside your oven and check your actual temperature. It sounds like your oven is cooking a little cool.

[@prismaticparents1686]

I used roughly a third of this recipe for one 8" pan and while it cracked a little on top and I will probably use a 9" pan next time, it turned out DELICIOUS. A tender, moist crumb with amazing chocolate flavor. I subbed out just a little of the hot water for hot coffee, and used a buttermilk substitute of whole milk + white vinegar. Absolutely the best chocolate cake recipe I've tried so far. I used your cream cheese buttercream frosting recipe as a basis to form my own version, it came out light, melt in your mouth, not too sweet and so delightfully chocolatey! For me it was the absolute perfect pair with the cake. My husband and I both ate 3 slices back to back!!!! Thank you so much.

Baked this for my brother’s birthday a few days ago. The cake itself was moist and rich but the icing was too sweet for me. I even reduced the recipe from 7-8 cups to 5 cups of powdered sugar but it was still super sweet. Anyway, just taste it before adding more powdered sugar. I tasted mine when I already put 5 cups to the mixture so I had no choice. Thanks for the recipe! 😍

Hey there. I have been making this recipe for over a year! It is tonight, I discovered the video when I went to the website to see if I can find a metric version for the ingredients! The recipe is wonderful and yields such a fantastic cake that my kids and friends love! I top it with a chocolate Ganache to give it that extra dimension. I use milk instead of water and butter instead of vegetable oil for richer taste! You are so true, the better the cocoa powder it is the better and richer the taste is! Thank you very much for the recipe and thank you for the simplified way of the preparation steps. I subscribed to your channel and I big big thumb up!

[@pearl6487]

Pro tip for those of you that didn’t already know: you can easily divide this recipe into thirds for one layer or two thirds for two layers (1 cup of flour for one layer, etc.) for the eggs if your making one layer just do one large egg but if your doing two just use three eggs Also instead of just warm water I mixed in a little bit of coffee powder just to make the chocolate flavor pop ( not a fan of coffee but you don’t end up tasting coffee flavor so all’s good, but better) I also made this a two layer and it was super delicious and moist, for the frosting I just used my own vanilla cream cheese frosting recipie :) Edit: for all of you wondering here is the adjusted recipe for only two layers that I used [pan size 9x9 in.] : 2 cups flour 1 1/4 cup sugar (the real recipient divided is 2 cups sugar but I find that way too sweet) 1 cup coca powder 2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp salt 3 eggs 1 cup buttermilk 1 cup warm water (with about a teaspoon of coffee powder mixed in optionally) 3/16 cup oil (fill a 1/4 cup measurement with about 3/4 filled) 1 tsp of vanilla Enjoy :)
