CHOCOLATE CAKE RECIPE
Ingredients
3 cups / 375g all purpose flour
1 cup / 100g cocoa powder
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 1/2 cups / 300g white sugar
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups / 375ml whole milk
1 Tbsp vinegar
3/4 cup / 190ml vegetable oil
1 Tbsp vanilla essence
1 1/2 cups / 375ml strong hot coffee
1 stick / 1/2 cup / 113g butter
8oz / 225g cream cheese
3 cups / 375g powdered sugar
1/2 cup / 50g cocoa powder
1-2 Tbsp whole milk
1 tsp vanilla essence
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl add the dry ingredients, the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Give the ingredients a good whisk together until combined. Set the bowl to the side.
In jug add the milk and vinegar. Give it a quick mix and set to the side for about 5 minutes. You can substitute with buttermilk here if you have it on hand but the milk mixture has a thinner consistency and works better for this recipe.
In a medium sized mixing bowl combine the sugar, eggs, milk mixture and oil. Use a whisk to combine the ingredients together.
Prepare your 1 1/2 Cups of hot coffee. You can use instant, espresso or whatever type you have on hand. Just make sure it’s strong and hot.
Pour the hot coffee into the bowl with the dry ingredients and follow with the wet ingredients. Use a whisk to combine the ingredients together. You should end up with a very thin batter, just make sure all of the flour has been incorporated from the bottom of the bowl.
Pour the chocolate cake batter into two or three lined and greased 8″ or 20cm cake pans. Place the cakes into a 180C / 350F oven for about 30 minutes for three cakes or 40 minutes for two cakes. Test the cakes with a cake tester before removing from the oven.
Cool in the pans for 15 minutes before transferring the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the chocolate cream cheese frosting in the bowl of your stand mixer or a large bowl if you are using a hand mixer add in the room temperature butter. Beat on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes or until the butter is light and fluffy and almost doubled in volume.
Add the cream cheese and mix again for a further minute until incorporated with the butter.
Measure out the powdered sugar and cocoa powder and add to the bowl. Turn the mixer on to a low speed to incorporate the ingredients together. It will look very clumpy at first but it will start to come together.
With the machine running slowly pour in 1- 2 tablespoons of milk. The milk is to thin out the consistency of the frosting so only add a small amount at a time as you may not need all of it.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl to make sure everything is evenly combined and add the vanilla essence. Beat the chocolate cream cheese frosting for another minute or two until it is light and fluffy.
To assemble your chocolate cake start with one of the cake layers. You can use a serrated knife to level it but these do bake pretty evenly so it’s not a necessity.
Place about 3/4 of a cup of the chocolate cream cheese frosting on to the cake and use an offset spatula to spread it evenly. Top with another cake layer and repeat the process.
When it comes to doing the final cake layer turn it upside down to the bottom is facing up, this helps to get a more even looking cake. Spread the top and sides with the frosting, theres no need to do a crumb coat here until you really want it to look perfect.
Place the decorated cake into the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set before slicing and serving.

Hello! New subscriber here. I came across your five year old chocolate cake recipe about 10 minutes ago and now I am watching this one! How does this video differ from the other chocolate cake video you did five years ago?(: lastly, this cocoa powder is not Dutch processed? Which natural and Dutch cocoa so you recommend(:?
Perfect one giving this recipe a try surly
I hope you enjoy it 😊
@@recipesbycarina very well mam
Beautiful ❣️
I hope you try out the recipe 😊
Hi Carina. This looks like a very nice recipe but I have one question. Can I use cake flour for this recipe since we don't have AP flour in my country?
Hey carina...thanks for the new recipe..😘..i had tried your chocolate cake recipe long back..its was 👌👌... other than frosting and baking powder is there any other difference??
This one is a little different, updated to be even more delicious 😊
Soo yummy
Delicious 😊
hi, i love all your baking videos and my dad loves your cinnamon rolls because after i made them one time he was hooked! haha anyways i was going to ask if it’s okay to substitute almond flour for all purpose flour and vegan butter instead ? thank you so much for your time, and effort you put in your work, it’s amazing and yummy!!! 😻💚 have a beautiful day
I'm so happy he enjoys the cinnamon rolls, they're so delicious! Yup I definitely think you could do that for this recipe 😊
Yummy too
Delicious 😊
Hi may i know if i can use chinese vinegar instead cuz i couldn't find western white vinegar bere. And I don't have buttermilk here.
Hai mam i love ur cake recipes and i prepared ur carrot cake which was delicious thank u i'll definetly try this cake love from Kerala india,❤❤❤
I'm so happy you enjoyed my carrot cake 😊 It's my favourite cake flavour!
Thank u for ur reply mam ❤❤❤
@@ztebthomas6512 😊😊😊
Hi dear i want to try this recipe of yours. It looks so yummy but im quite confuse with the measurements.. I use cups for my measurements also.. but for me one cup of sugar is about 200g so if i put 2 1/2 cups won’t it be around 500g of sugar ? In your recipe the amount you use in grams is 300g
I don't use vegetable oil but will try swapping out with mayonaise. Has anyone else tried this recipe using something else for the vegetable oil? Thank you Carina love your recipes!
It looks so so good!!😋😋
Have you tried baking with black cocoa powder?
No I haven't but that does sound delicious 😊
About white sugar, which one do you use? Icing sugar or granulated sugar?
can you give a red velvet cake recipe? I am gonna try this recipe tomorrow 🤗
This looks yummy. Can I use cake flour/very fine flour instead of all purpose flour please ? 💗
Yup you can 😊
Thank you for replying!
I needn't make it to know this cake won't be too sweet. I always do calculations before making a cake, and I like the dry ingredients-to-sugar ratio to be about 1:0.6, which is the case for this recipe. With others I often need to reduce the amount of sugar by half or even 3/4. I'm a fan of yours now~
Yes! It shouldn't be so sweet and overpowering, this has so much flavour and the frosting isn't just sugar too 😀
Hi can i use cake flour to make this recipe???
Chocolate cake is amazing, but my favorite cake is carrot with cream cheese buttercream!!! 😋😋
Cant pass up a good carrot cake 😊
Hi can I use fresh cream instead of cream cheese?
Me: making this chocolate cake
My dog: '' Did you just pooped everywhere in this kitchen?''
I was laughing when I looked at my dog's reaction when he saw the chocolate all around the floor and I also made sure he didn't licked the chocolate because chocolates are bad for dogs. Anyways thank you so much for sharing the recipe. I had fun making it! (My dog also had fun too :D )
Delicous
I hope you try out the recipe 😊
Can I use a 10inch cake mould to follow this recipe ??
What recipe you would do for summer time. Would love to see you do a one.😊
It's actually getting into winter here in NZ 😊
Chocolate 🍫cake 🎂

How much coffee en water we need to make it strong?
Nice video of the day.❤🎉. 0:14 .
Hi 2.5 cups of sugar is 500g right?
Yummyyyy🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
So delicious! The perfect chocolate cake 😊
What of i want eggless how do I it?
how many tbsp of coffee powder to make 1 1/2 cup of strong coffee??
Of instant? I would say about 1 -2 Tbsp 😊
what does the coffee do? this is not coffee cake, right? love your videos btw!
Can I bake this into 1 cake and then slice it into 3 layers, instead of bake it in 3 cake moulds?
You can bake it into 2 cakes 😊 There is too much batter for just 1 cake as it won't cook all the way through without burning. You can also halve the recipe and bake it into one cake
How much spoons of coffee should I put in 1 1/2 cups of water?
Hello dear. I'm a new subscriber to your channel. What is the substitute for whole milk? I can't find that here in the Philippines.
Hello! I’m from Philippines too... You can use fresh milk . Hope that helps :)
@@jcerin6725 Really? Didn't know at all that it could be a substitute. Thank u so much for your reply.
What do u mean 3 cups, d big measuring cup?
Is it ok to not use coffee
Can you please give suggestions if this recipe needs to be made without eggs
😘🔥👍💯😆
😊😊😊
Hi carina even a single teaspoon of baking powder and soda makes my cake taste so bitter please help
My favorite is vanilla, but not too sweet, with a meringue buttercream. Generally prefer buttery to sweet. That said, I also love a caramel cake. Go figure.
Delicious! Chocolate Cake definitely isn't my favourite flavour but it is pretty delicious 😊
If you make it without baking soda, it will lose its flavor. It is difficult to find baking soda here. Is it okay to put a frieze on the cake before icing? Cool it.
Read up on info if youre using Dutch Processed Cocoa powder. Theres a difference.
Hi can I have the recipe
It is linked in the video and in the description box 😊
❤😂🎉😢😮😅
And almost all recipes even yours calls for 2 teaspoon of both baking powder and soda .....dont ut cake taste bitter?
May be the sugar is too much
