I am IN LOVE with this chocolate cake recipe! And hope you all love it just as much :D Get the full written recipe here: cakesbymk.com/recipe/easy-rich-chocolate-cake-recipe/
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?
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!!!
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 🤍
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.
My daughter found this video and used this recipe to bake her best friend a birthday cake. Her bestie and family said it was absolutely delicious...not too sweet; absolutely perfect! ☺🎂❤
I'm a huge fan MK and have tried almost all of your recipes and they came out perfect ,one can't go wrong with your recipes ,thank you so much you have helped me a lot on my baking journey
…this is a SENSATIONAL chocolate cake. Really blown away by the wonderful crumb, the fantastic chocolate flavour and the cream cheese frosting: definitely worth a go!!
Aww yay! So so happy to hear you enjoyed the recipe Jeremy! It really is one of my favs :) if you manage to find a spare minute I'd be so so grateful if you can kindly leave a review on my blog - it really helps my content out :D thanks so much again for trying it out :)
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.
I tried this recipe and it's just amazing. I've also tried your eggless vanilla cake and it was a hit. Eagerly waiting for an eggless chocolate cake recipe.
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
So so happy to hear you enjoyed the recipe Lisa! :D If you manage to find a spare minute I'd be so so grateful if you can kindly leave a review on my blog - it really helps my content out :D thanks so much again for trying it out :)
You are amazing. I love your recipes. I've made your best vanilla cake and the lemon cake recipes. They were both amazing. I'm looking forward to trying this chocolate cake out. 😋 Also, thank you for including the weight for your recipes. It keeps things more accurate for me.
I was waiting till you upload another super duper video and you just uploaded my favorite video which is making CHOCOLATE CAKE !!!!! 😋 Thank you soooooooooooo much😍
This cake is delicious! I increased the recipe by half, as per your recipe, so that I could make three nine-inch layers and it worked perfectly. My family loved it!
Awesome! So so happy you enjoyed it and that it worked well in the 9 inch tins :) I'd be so grateful if you can kindly leave a review on my blog if you have a spare minute, it really helps my content reach more people :D thanks so much again for trying the recipe!
I’ve been looking for different recipes of a chocolate cake, I tried this recipe and I have to say that it’s a good tasting cake. 🎉🎉 However I found it way too crumbly a texture. I would make it for my family but not for my customers. Thank you for sharing your baking experience and hard work with us. 😊😊
I KNEW you were in good old NZ can’t escape that kiwi accent love it!! Love NZ thank you for all your gorgeous cakes I’ve made quite a few and have enjoyed every one of them yum yum
Honest Review: I read everyone’s comment and decided to give it a go. Only after making the cake, did I go back and really read the comments. Majority of it speaks of the texture; fluffiness, softness etc. The cake really did have an amazing texture. BUT, it was tooo much coco powder ratio to the rest of ingredients. Apart from the overpowering coco flavour. It wasn’t sweet at all. I know some people don’t like overly sweet, but this was really far off from being sweet. I don’t think I tasted anything other than cocoa powder. Certainly didn’t taste like cake to me. Really disappointed. PS. I hope my comment isn’t deleted, so anyone willing to try can read then decide for themself.
Thank you for your honest review! This is one of my problems when trying cakes without melted chocolate in it. It becomes just a sponge of coco powder and it isn't sweet.
@@reannasookoo6590 Yes I think the best recipe I've found was on this channel called Ashley Marie. It was her perfect chocolate cake recipe video she posted. That was the best I've tried. Took it once to office too and it was devoured.
It may have been something that you did wrong because mine came out excellent. I can't wait to make more. I'm going to make about four or five of them next week ❤
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. ❤
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 :)
Aslmz mk HUD I love how u explain mashallah the cake looks Devine love anything in chocolate this one is 4keeps watching from sunny south Africa 🇿🇦 allah hafez 💗
Hi read in your printed notes that you had only used shop bought buttermilk rather than homemade buttermilk. I have made this cake twice in the last couple of weeks (family loves this cake) with homemade buttermilk and it turned out perfectly. I have also made your other chocolate cake, vanilla and red velvet cake and they were all lovely cakes. My husband said he hasn’t had nicer cakes. I think i will be baking a lot of your cakes
Hi there, hope you doing good 😇I usually do homemade buttermilk using vinegar. In your recipe you have mentioned to add 1tsp vinegar. My doubt is I already added vinegar in buttermilk and do I need to add 1tsp vinegar again?
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.😊
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!
Hi MK, this cake looks divine . I am planning to make your soft vanilla cake recipe very soon and would love to try out this recipe as well as my kids love chocolate cake . My question to you is I only have 9 inch pans. Can I use those instead of the 8 inch pans you have been using in your recipes? Thank you 😊
Hi there! :) Yes you can use 9 inch pans the cake layers will just be slightly thinner and you may need to check them about 5 minutes earlier than the stated cooking time in the recipe :) hope that helps and hope you enjoy the recipes :D
Maravilloso. ❤❤❤ SALUDOS DESDE España. Sigue, adelante deleitándonos con tus tartas. Yo probé e hice el biscocho de mantequilla y quedó brutal. La próxima que quiero hacer es la de Zanahoria
I'm enjoying every part of your videos but I tried baking with margarine because the unsalted butter is very expensive in my country so please try a video with the margarine for me ❤
Thus looks divine!!! How would you compare this recipe to your other chocolate cake recipe, the one you thought your husband wouldn’t like (with melted chocolate in it)?
Hi, I am from Pakistan. Love u r videos. I have a query. Why do u add corn starch in cakes recipes. Plus tell, what's the use of butter milk and yogurt in cakes
I am IN LOVE with this chocolate cake recipe! And hope you all love it just as much :D Get the full written recipe here: cakesbymk.com/recipe/easy-rich-chocolate-cake-recipe/

I’m sure it’ll be the same as the vanilla but just add cocoa powder
Your recipe never failed me! Thank you so much for sharing 😊
Hi, am very impressed the way you elaborate your ingredients in both ways, MashaAllah very nice ❤, shukran
You definitely caught my attention with the not too sweet icing. I will try this for my husband's birthday. 😊
Thank you MK. Your recipes are easy to follow and the come out perfect ❤
