    For chocolate cakes, think about dusting your pan with cocoa instead of white flour (no white/light streaks on the cake).

      Oh for sure! Anytime I'm making anything new. I check to see if John Kanell has done it already. I keep a beautiful cooking binder of all my favorite routine recipes and always write down or scratch off things that I do differently for them. 50% are Johns recipes (thr most of any one source) and I never have to edit or add anything. Latest recipe to add of his was the chicken piccata #chefskiss. The only thing I want to ask is if he has tried unfiltered Apple cider in his recipes that contain chicken broth. It is a must have ingredient for mine and I didnt see if he had mentioned it in his recipes.

    This is the first cake I’ve ever made. It’s also, so far, the only cake I’ve ever made. It started my baking journey which led to baking different breads, jams, pies, cookies, frostings, chocolates, etc. I’ve made this cake at least four times. It is just that good and that perfect. I keep thinking I should try another chocolate cake to compare but I can’t conceptualize a better flavor or texture. This was the perfect bake to begin my baking journey. Thank you John!

    I had been searching everywhere for a true devil's food cake, and this is it! I made it this weekend, along with your french buttercream (flavored with vanilla bean paste), for my birthday cake it it is beyond the best I've ever had. I was a bit intimidated by the frosting at first, but you made it easy and it is absolutely the most luscious frosting. I think this combo would also make amazing cupcakes, but I have to figure out how long to bake them. Thank you for your excellent recipes, and making fancy elements way less intimidating!

    I made this cake last night but I baked it in a rectangle cake pan as a sheet cake. I followed the recipe exactly step by step except I used almond extract instead of vanilla, everything else was exactly the same. This is the best most amazing chocolate cake I've ever eaten or baked, it was so good. Thank you so much for the recipes. I have now made your lemon bars, strawberry cheesecake, brownies, Blondies and apple cobbler and every recipe is top notch. My favorite is the Blondies, they are to die for. I can't wait to make more recipes. Whenever I feel stressed I turn on your channel and bake something new and it's such a huge stress reliever. This is my new self care routine each week.

Also, thank you so much for keeping the little baking blips (the cocoa powder shooting out of the jar onto the counter) in the final video. In another video you cracked an egg that didn't cooperate and had some smaller bit trying to get in your mixing bowl. I appreciate these because it's so real, and makes me, as a mere mortal, feel so much less of an imposter in the kitchen. lol I can't tell you how often I've asked myself: why can't you perfectly crack an egg like "everyone else." Seriously, until you did that, I legit thought I've been doing it wrong all these years--that there was some secret wrist snap that only "real" bakers and cooks knew. LOL

I don't like coffee so I just used hot water instead. It was SOO MOIST and flavorful. The cake did not rise over the pan as I was afraid in a 9x13 pan it may of been too much but it was perfect.

    John, my mother always used cocoa powder to dust the pans with when making a choc cake. That way there wasn't any white residue on the sides of the cakes. Your recipe reminds me of her "midnight" cake she made each of us kids for our birthday every year. She'd make it in a bundt pan with fudge (real fudge candy) for the topping.

      Well if you watch enough of these baking recipes, Americans (at least in the bigger channels) use Dutch cocoa powder VERY often. I actually get even surprised when they don't use it.

    So I don't drink coffee and my husband only drinks espresso so I thought if I diluted the espresso 50/50 it would be like coffee. It was a good fail. It was a chocolate espresso cake that was so moist and that espresso was wonderful. Those that tasted the "mess up" have asked for me to do it again. It was a hit.

    Hi John - your online recipe for this (you linked it) says 1 Cup or 120ml milk. It looks from watching you on the video, it should say 1/2 Cup, 120 ml milk. This would make a huge difference to those who use the cup measurements vs the ml.
