Can you tell me what kind of pans you used to bake it please?

[@Heybibi13]

Hello! I have tried your other chocolate cake recipe and the taste was great but it was very crumbly. Couldn’t get the frosting on because than the cake came with the frosting. Is this cake different in texture?

[@foodfocusqtr]

Awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍

[@CakesbyMK]

@@beaprol hi there! I use aluminium cake tins :) 8x3 inches

[@bonnieantonini]

I made this cake with the chocolate cream cheese frosting and it was delicious. Moist and tender. My husband raved about it! Rather than a layered cake, I made it as a sheet cake in a 9" X 13" metal pan. It took 30 minutes to bake. Half the chocolate cream cheese recipe would have been enough. The full recipe made about 4.5 cups - 2 cups would have been sufficient for a sheet cake. Definite winner! Thank you, MK, for your video!!!

[@MadameGina-q6u]

VERY MOIST 💚 BEST chocolate cake I have ever had. It wasn't dry like most folk stated. I am feeling EXTREMELY blessed to have this recipe. I was made to look (and felt like) a "real" baker, when I carried this cake to my cousin's birthday celebration. A seasoned baker sat down next to me and gave me rave reviews on THIS cake. She showed me some of her creations and recipes and she's really GOOD. She said: your cake was AMAZING 🩷 It was very pretty as well. I made a cream cheese icing and added Cocoa powder. For cupcakes, you don't even need any icing 🤍

[@zahranisar3102]

Used this recipe and sponge turned out amazing. Must try for all those people who have been unable to make really tasty and soft chocolate sponge cake.

[@omotolanifaith9790]

Interesting to know you didn't think chocolate cake can be made without melted chocolate. Haven't made it any other way because the cocoa powder method is more common here. Big fan from Nigeria 🇳🇬. Thank you for your recipes.

[@rachelb4911]

I decided to try this recipe because I didn't have enough chocolate on hand, and I was curious how it would taste. Definitely the best cocoa-powder-only recipe I've tried! I don't usually like boxed chocolate cakes or recipes that only use cocoa powder. They taste like cardboard to me. I'd rather not. I was pleasantly surprised how chocolatey this one was, though! Not quite as good as a melted chocolate cake imo, but I quite liked it, and that's not something I usually say about chocolate cake lol

Is it possible to cut back some of the sugar without compromising the balance too much? I know sugar helps with the moisture in the cake but is there a save amount I coud just not add or substitute it with something? Thanks again for everything you do for your community.😊

[@CakesbyMK]

Hi there! Hmmm so the thing is this cake has a lot of cocoa powder in it, so if you reduce the sugar then the cake may be a little bitter (the cake itself is not overly sweet). If you want to try it though I would recommend not reducing it by anymore than 1/4 cup (50g) :) hope that helps!

Could I replace the instant coffee with more cocoa powder or anything else? I know it's there to enhance the chocolate flavour but I despise coffee with a passion and can taste it even if people claim you can't. I tried instant coffee in a few recipes and couldn't really enjoy the outcome because there was always the underlining note of coffee. Btw just a few hours ago I made your vanilla cake and thought this could also make a good chocolate cake. Was the first recipe of yours I tried and I'm still struggling to decide if I want acream cheese frosting, a (whipped) ganache or a (not American) butter cream. So many good looking options to choose from in your recipe. Thanks for all the work and passion you put into this. ❤

[@CakesbyMK]

Hi there! If you prefer not to use the coffee powder then simply omit it without replacing it with anything :) and haha yup I always struggle with frosting choices too especially with vanilla cake because you could use almost any kind of frosting! Hope you enjoy the recipe and thank you for all your support :)
