BUTTERMILK SUBSTITUTE: thestayathomechef.com/buttermi...
🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴
✅Ingredients
• butter and flour for coating and dusting the cake pan
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 cups granulated sugar
• 1½ cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon baking soda
• 1½ teaspoons baking powder
• 1½ teaspoons salt
• 4 large eggs
• 1½ cups buttermilk
• 1½ cups warm water
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
✅Instructions
1️⃣ 00:00:17 - Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter three 9-inch cake rounds. Dust with flour and tap out the excess.
2️⃣ 00:01:19 - Mix together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a stand mixer using a low speed until combined.
3️⃣ 00:01:44 - Add eggs, buttermilk, warm water, oil, and vanilla. Beat on a medium speed until smooth. This should take just a couple of minutes.
4️⃣ 00:02:31 - Divide batter among the three pans. I found that it took just over 3 cups of the batter to divide it evenly.
5️⃣ 00:02:47 - Bake for 30-35 minutes until the cake meets the toothpick test (stick a toothpick in and it comes out clean).
6️⃣ 00:03:06 - Cool on wire racks for 15 minutes and then turn out the cakes onto the racks and allow to cool completely.
7️⃣ Frost with your favorite frosting and enjoy!
Notes
The better quality cocoa powder you use the better the cake will taste.
00:03:30 - CHOCOLATE CREAM CHEESE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
✅Ingredients
• 1½ cups butter, softened
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1½ cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 7-8 cups powdered sugar
• about ¼ cup milk (as needed)
✅Instructions
1️⃣ 00:03:38 - In a large bowl, beat together butter and cream cheese until fluffy. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer for best results
2️⃣ 00:03:57 - Add in cocoa powder and vanilla extract. Beat until combined.
3️⃣ 00:04:23 - Beat in powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time. Add milk as necessary to make a spreadable consistency. The frosting should be very thick and will thicken even more if refrigerated.
Notes
In the photos above, an extra dark cocoa powder was used in the frosting. Extra dark cocoa will result in a much darker, almost black frosting.

I made this last night for my son's birthday.
He passed away but I still make him a cake and this cake is the best cake I've ever made !!!
Thank you
💛💙💜
sending all my love to you and your family💜💜
Very kind of you both, thank you 🌳
😍😍😍😍
Sorry for your lost ❤️
NO ONE CARES IF YOURE WATCHING DURING QUARANTINE OR BEFORE YOU SLEEP I WANT TO SEE SOME REVIEWS GO DAMMIT
No one cares about this comment
Pure Intellectual Being I’m guessing ur one of those who looks for likes by saying that
Tamim ataya same , thank you !
TRUEEE
Tamim ataya factsss !!!
5 years later and i still LOVE this recipe ; I just add 1/2 tsp vanilla to the eggs And 1 tsp instant coffee to the hot water and that enhances the chocolate flavor to the MAXXXXX.
thank you so much for an amazing recipe Stay at home chef . God bless.
Thank you
Shush
@@glalbanais9608 what timmy?
This is my go-to chocolate cake when I'm needing my chocolate....
which sugar do you add caster sugar or powdered sugar
Tried this recipe today, it’s was everything you said it would be. It’s was fantastic , moist, rich, chocolaty and so easy to make…but the most bizarre thing happened… and this is the absolute the truth.. my son started talking about the cake in Matilda. 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!!!!
I had 2 people tell me it reminded them of that when I made it!
I immediately thought of Matilda's cake as soon as I saw the pictures of this one. It just looks very much alike and she mentioned it was her intention too. So yes😂
I am about to go through My screen.
Just made this cake, even my picky parents liked it. For anybody who wants to make it you should give it a try!!I already wrote it in my answers but I'll say it here, I didn't use this frosting recipe I just mixed a random amount butter Cocoa powder and icing sugar, have a nice day! 😊
I want to try half batch. Thanks for the info.
Annie H hi did u make half batch? I have been thinking of cutting the recipe in half to try it out.
T. L can i devise the ingredients by 3 and only do one layer ?
Sgt Nawaf i was thinking about that
T. L what do u rate it 1-5??
Flying bananas
Haha true that.
Icy Spice the name of the channel is literally stay at home (chef)
@@aggelos9915 Which would also be weird to read years down the line.

Innit
I’ve tried at least 4 different chocolate cake recipes and this is the fifth one. Don’t give it a second thought. Trust me it’s delicious and so moist omg. 🤤❤️❤️ I’ve finally found the perfect one. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. And I baked all mine for 30 mins.
Just made made it today for my grandpa's birthday and it was the first time me baking a cake, it literally turned out so well... My grandpa loved it!! Thank you so much for this amazingly tasty recipe!♥️
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 :)
Using algebra for six year olds is considered a «pro tip»?? Here is a real pro tip: use a weight when cooking, not cups and other very non accurate measurements
John I know a lot of people knew this which is why I said for those of you that didn’t know. Also a lot of people don’t just have a twenty five dollar scale on hand so this could’ve been helpful for them. I’m sorry I was trying to do something nice for them
Pearl Lobo thank you 😊
@The Xentric Rebel Sure you are. A true frozen pizza grand master indeed. Heston Blumenthal is a master chef, you think he uses «cups» or grams?
gahhh all these measurements drivee me crazy 🤣 reazon why i never bake lol but if you can please share your exact measurements you used for your 2layer, then iwill really appreciated it! would love to make this with my kids. since a birthday is coming up ❤
Instead of the water I use coffee. It really complements the chocolate.
Interesting Idea! I'll try it!
Me too
Good idea!
I don't have butter milk.Can I use milk?
@TavoBandana is that wat u used😏
Oh my!!It’s the most delicious cake We’ve ever tasted!
I made it for my son’s birthday yesterday and everyone loved it!Thank you for this amazing reciepe!😍🥰❤️🎂
I made this cake on 12/22/22.
It is still SO moist. It's an excellent recipe.
I used fresh milled soft wheat flour.
I also cut the recipe down by 1/3, because I didn't need such a large cake.
It came out perfect!
All I see is quarantine comments so here is an actual review comment: I made this cake but without the chocolate in the middle because I only wanted one tier and it truly is the most delicious chocolate cake I’ve ever made just be sure to follow the recipe exactly
what size pan did you use?
Thanks man
omg thanks, i was looking for a review
Thank you
Thank you for the review on this cake. Been looking a cake for my birthday.
Best chocolate cake recipe the only thing I changed was I added a teaspoon of coffee into the hot water then into the batter. No coffee taste in the cake it just tasted like chocolate heaven!!! THANKYOU
You are welcome!
Waw
How sweet is this? Is this rich or just right?
If i put chocolate chip inside?
Janine it’s chocolateyyyy but not sickly
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
lovely cake. made it today and it was delicious, soft and tender
I did this cake today and it is absolutely amazing!
I just changed two details:
I used 1 teaspoon of coffe with the warm water and instead of the buttermilk,I used the regular milk!This cake is perfect❤If you do it,you aren't going to regret😂🥰🥰
☆Although this cake doesn't need,you can moisten each layer(before the chocolate icing) with some milk and sugar!
I guarantee,it became even more delicious🥰
Thanks! Finally a useful comment 😊
@@alexandrocarrillooooo 🥰👍
Hiii @camila Jansen oliveria how many cup of milk you added?
@@Archanagovind I added 1 cup and a half(the same quantity of the recipe)😉
@@camilajansenoliveira5508 Tq for your kind reply 😊
Everyone in quarantine here
Facts.😂
Unfortunately🙁😂😂😂😂
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA IM DEAAAAD. I've never felt so ATTACCED in my life before 😂😂. I laughed so heartily just now.
Yup
Yup BAHAHA
Made this today and OMG!!! So good!!! I think the frosting is what really sets it off 🤤
My recent bakes have been flopping like no ones business but this recipe came out so wonderfully. My batter came out more runny but still worked. Beautiful cake. Thank you because it gave me more motivation to keep on baking and trying new recipes.
Might be the flour you used. Avoid Pilsbury and the cheaper kinds and go for King Arthur white flour or simply Swan cake flour.
@@jimmorrison4ever529 You’re the second person to mention the King Arthur flour in the past two days!
There must be something to it!
Personally, I think Pillsbury is👎🏼.
Being a beginner baker myself, I’m taking this good advice! 😊
I made your cake today I was worried in the past I made other famous cooks cakes and I was always disappointed. Your chocolate cake was 200% the best chocolate cake i ever in my life. It was rich, moist, it had a amazing chocolate flavor. It was the best chocolate cake ever. Plus it was so easy to make thank you for such a great recipe.
Glad you finally found the cake for you!
That’s has been my story as well, I can’t wait to try this one, hopefully it’s the one for me as well.
The best recipe I have tried. Thank you.
Can I take dark chocolate for chocolate cream???
I agree with u it was the best, also made it..everybody loved it..
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!
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.
Can you give me your recipe to this cake? I want to do less sweet and also just one, like u did

Lemon juice for the cake right?
@@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.
Made this cake for my husband's birthday and ohmygod!!! Everyone loved it!!!!!!!
Thank you for this easy yet amazing recipe.
I did not have time to make the frosting so I put on Nutella and it worked!! It didn't come out to be best looking cake because of the frosting duh but who cares when it tastes so delicious with right amount of sweetness and fluffiness.
So easy to make and so delish! Better than boxed for sure! This is my new go to recipe! Love it!
I won't trade this cake recipe for anything. This is heaven sent definitely. I love your voice and how you explain everything, its soothing and relaxing.
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.
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.
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
heroin bought gandi Hai yaaaaar.....😶😶😶😶😶😶😶😶
That's not true, the oil gives the cake a moist texture, butter doesn't...
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.
I made this recipe tonight and I must say that this is the most delicious, Moist chocolate Cale I’ve ever tasted, and it’s beautiful too. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
I need to know some good coco powders so I can make again
I am a little girl and I love making dessert for my family. This the recipe I always use to make a 3-layes cake. My family loves it. ❤

@@limch36 Hi the recipe is very good. I made it three times so far and everyone says it's the moist chocolate cake ever.
Its algorithim is on point. Also your phone can hear you.
I have tried loads of chocolate cake recipes, and to be honest this one id definitely my favourite. Thank you so much ☺
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!! This cake was the most delicious cake we ever tasted! Even without any icing, It was sooooo good. My husband raved about this cake and wants me to make this cake every time! Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe❤️
Is Good To Spend Time With Your Daughter:) 😉😉
I just tried this recipe for my family and I and we LOVED it! And that says a lot for my husband to like it because he really isn't into cake. This recipe will be used in our home for sure so thank you again!!
You are welcome!

I know!!! I have experienced this. And not with alexa and all... With regular phones. Its creepy
I love how she just puts in all the ingredients in one go all mixes them up together rather than going one by one!
Just made my cake from this recipe and its AMAZING!
Thank you❤️
Matilda is what any moist chocolate cake reminds me of. That scene was sooo intense!
Vanessa Aguilera scgbgnl. Chbib
Vanessa Aguilera trueeeeeee
Yessssssss, it really set a standard for what a moist cake should look like. I crave the cake whenever I'm watching that scene lol.
This cake is the best chocolate cake I have ever had! It is so moist and delicious.
I've had problems with other recipes when I don't have enough batter to make layers. This recipe can make multiple thick layers. 10/10 great cake!
I made this cake last week & was so happy the cake turned out great! It was delicious & I love that the recipe measurement is in cup, hence, there is no need to use a measuring scale. The recipe is delicious & easy to make! Thank you for sharing it!
As it was hard to find buttermilk where I am, I used full cream milk & squeezed about half a lemon. Works ok for me👍
I made this for my son's 16th birthday, and it was amazing. I went with another frosting, but the cake was rich, delicious and fudgy. It was so good, I even created it for my blog! Thank you!
One thing to note is to make sure your cocoa powder is pure cocoa. I found out that the cocoa I purchased had Sodium Carbonate in it and this would compromise the added baking soda. Just a heads up but this recipe is perfect!
kko but don't you still need it to balance the acidity of the buttermilk?
kko mpp
you are queen of food
Just make sure it isnt dutch cocoa. Thats all.

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).
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 ?
@@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
@@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.
@@tayibahussain i did it like that... taste delicious and i add cream cheese.. i dont like butter cream
Hey . Can I make cakesicles out if this recipe. I mean after adding the whipped ganache to it in order to make it come together? Will it cone together?
This recipe is super-hit in our family. Made it so many times and every time the taste is exactly same 😘😘😘 thank you 🤗
This was my first cake during the lockdown for my husband's birthday. And ever since I baked this people have been asking me to make it for them. I opened my small business with this❤️❤️
Can I substitute the oil for butter in this?
Definitely the best chocolate cake recipe I've used so far. Will be writing this in my recipe book. Thanks chef!
Review: I cut this recipe in half and added red food colouring to make it a red velvet cake for my bf’s bday, and guys...Please make this right now. It’s too good for you to not make it. If you wanna make it moist though, I’d suggest upping the veg. Oil by an additional quarter cup and decreasing the water by 1/4 cup. Because I halved the recipe it really needed that extra moisture
It’s so good, go make it right now :)
What are the exact measurements because I needed this recipe halfed too😭
convinced!

@@Indra_isset use something like hershies, personally I use Cadbury cocoa powder. Their both good.
@@felixsegg4640 thank you 😊
@@Indra_isset i find the darker the better. Look at the coco percentage when you are buying cocoa powder

Agree
@@anitaujah615 lol people don't usually make it, just buy it
@@Romy---some of us don't have access to cream cheese cause it's not found in our region.
This the best chocolate cake I have ever backed. Including the cheese butter cream. I used a little bit of food coloring to make look a bit darker. Follow the ingredients so simple so easy. Thank you chef
Who’s watching this in bed whilst starving?
Edit: Thanks for all the likes!
Literally me at 3 a.m
Im watching this because me,my mom and brother are going to make a chocolate cake at home
In my bed and its 2:57Am and im starving
It's 3 AM AND IM HUNGRY FOR THIS AND RAVIOLI
2am New York no cake in sight getting desperate too hungry to wait til morning I need ingredients now dammit
I’ve never seen a cake so smooth after it come out of the oven in my life
Delicious cake!! I divided all measures by 3 to make only one layer and it worked perfectly. I love chocolate cake, and this one was one of the best I ever tried. Thank you!!!
I add in a tablespoon of instant coffee just before I add in the hot water. Major flavor boost. And I use the Wilton bake even cake pan wraps to keep edges from browning and help even layers. And Swan cake flour. LOVED this recipe!! It's a keeper. TY!!
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!!!!
I tried this recipe today and I’m speechless, it’s amazing! The cake was so delicious, moist and fluffy almost like it melts in my mouth☺️. I love it! Thank you for this recipe!
I followed this recipe - it is so moist and delicious! One would expect it to be overly sweet with all the sugar, but follow it just as is! It is not too sweet at all. I made mine with two teaspoons of coffee added to the hot water as many comments had suggested, and it does work very well!
Thank you for this wonderful recipe! It is going in my to-keep recipe book
The cake turned out very moist and scrumptious. Thank you very much for sharing this recipe.
I made this for a birthday, and it is really delicious & incredibly moist.
Glad you like! I think it is the perfect birthday cake
That’s what she said😂
Valerie D that’s what she said💀💀💀
Valerie D ,instead of buttermilk,will milk do? Plz reply quick,dad's b day tmr!
Park Sue the buttermilk is what makes it so rich and moist, so my advice would be try to get your hands on some OR you can make a substitute yourself - regular milk + a tablespoon or two of lemon juice, let it sit a few mins, then use as buttermilk. Google it if you want
Thank you for the metric measurement. Really helpful and great recipe
It's been 2 years but still this recipe turns out everytime I make it 😋 😋
Spot on with the ingredients. I made it today and it turned out amazing. Thank you so much ❤
Thanks for sharing this delicious cake recipe...love you...
i make this cake ALLLL the time! Let me tell you that this cake is AMAZING!! I get so many compliments about my chocolate cake and i always tell them to watch this! Thank you soooo much

@@lankaperera8111 coconut oil is a kind of vegetable oil
@@meepmeep7471 it's not the same thing at all, don't you have Google? 🤨
I've been looking for this wonderful cake recipe for years. Thank you!
This is my second time making this cake. It is one of the best chocolate cakes I ever had.
Just stopping by to tell you thanks for sharing your recipe ❤️
I have been doing this recipe n
Many times ,turned out amazing and so tasty, the most moist chocolate cake u have ever made !
Omg i made this recipe today and it came out perfect!. So moist, no extremely moist and delicious. Thanks💜❤
Glad you liked it!!
I have made this recipe many time in the past 3 years. Outstanding cake!
THIS IS THE COMMENT WE NEED!! Oh god thank you very much I cannot express my gratitude to you😭
Did you use the same frosting?
I made this recipe thrice already and no regrets! People loved it. Thank you! I lessened the powdered sugar into 3 cups though. Just the right sweetness for me
Wonderful!
I just made this cake and this lady wasn't joking about it being the cake from Matilda... this cake really truely is amazing... i am a pastry chef and looking for new ideas thats how i came across this video... i give this cake a 10 out of 10 but may i just note that to anyone making this recipe to half it as i made 2 massive cakes with this recipe and also for the icing add 4 cups of powded sugar not 7-8 there is a big difference in taste... 4 cups taste way more chocolaty and less sweet. Cool vid!
Thanks for the tip I plan on making this for my birthday and I don't want it so big, just a 1 or 2 tiered cake.
mcwaste whats the mean of first nam ingre
4 cups of sugar is plenty@@ND-nx1nt
mcwaste thanks for the tip, I also thought that 8 cup of sugar is too much, but when you say "to half it" then you say 4 cups of sugar is taste way more choclaty... I want to make small one for 3 people in my family if you say half it automatically means half the 8 cup sugar to keep the sugar right.. or did you mean to half it ... and the sugar is 2 cups
This is an amazing chocolate cake. I've made it twice already and it always turns out wonderfully. I always use hot coffee instead of plain water.
I lovedddd this cake, it was so easy. I only baked it for 25 minutes and it was so good. The batter was very crumby and when I baked it it made my kitchen smell like heaven. Definitely making again
Glad you liked it!!
By far the easiest recipe I’ve ever tried. Turned out great. Thank you for sharing your recipe
My man Brucey didn’t eat that whole cake on stage as the entire student body cheered on to be called “that fat kid” 😤😤😤
Fucking for real, dude
Bruce is the real madlad
The audacity! Such disrespect!
Right never disrespect him💕
I made this cake and it was def rich! Good cake and my family enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing
Just made this cake minus the frosting. It's officially my favourite!❤️❤️
Hi!! Care to share baking instructions to bake just one whole cake? My family doesn’t like frosting.
Well done to this lady- 1st time I made a cake that wasn’t play dough-y or jelly like- big thanks 🙏🏾
This is the most organized tutorial I ever watched! Can't wait to try it! Thank you!
The best moist cake ever ( for me ),
I made 4 layers then my kid took it to school for sharing to all her best friends they love it, and she said " Don‘t change the recipe " lol
Thank you so much for a great video.
I had 5
For my birthday actually 6***
It was rainbow frosting each layer
MarMar LikesBunnies rainbow frosting sound awesome.. I wish I could see some pic.:-)
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.
A tip for equally dividing the batter: use the tare on your scale to zero and then measure the weight of the mixing bowl. Then weigh with the batter to get the total batter weight. I tare my scale with a second, identical, mixing bowl and then just put the bowl on with the batter to get the actual weight of the batter.
Divide by 3 and you know how much to put into each cake pan. Tare the scale with the cake pan on it and add 1/3 of the total batter weight. Your layers will be exactly the same - or as close to that as nature and your oven and your ingredients will allow.
Honestly the best cake ever and I am not over exaggerating. It was so soft and chocolatey but instead of water I used coffee (1 teaspoon to 1 1/2 cups) I am so glad i found it 😘
In this quarantine i have more time on my hands and i`m experimenting more in the kitchen. I got so many compliments with this chocolate cake that i had to thank you for it. So moist and yummy, i wrote the ingredients as i`ve done it twice already! 👍🙋♀️
It is a magnificent cake. When I saw the cream I felt like biting into the device I was watching the video from. A magnificent cake made by a talented pastry chef.
Made this Cake. It is absolutely delicious! Thank you for this wonderful recipe!
the recipe for which i come back time and again, i once made this for my birthday and everyone loved it! so yummyyyy
I just wanted to tell you "Thank you, thank you, thank you sooooo much for this recipe!! My daughter-in-law is as crazy about chocolate as I am. I made this cake for her birthday. She loved it!!! I did too. She cut it while I was there. Sooooo moist, sooooo chocolate and just sooooo delicious. Thank you, thank you so much for this recipe. YUMMMMM !!!! Can't wait to try more recipes. God bless

I cannot thank you enough for this amazing recipe.
I have been making this cake since the day you posted it and till today in April 2021 it is STILL the most awesome chocolate cake that I’ve ever baked.
God bless you.
do you use german process or just regular cocoa powder?
Ok I’m going to make this tom going by your comment hope it’s a hit, coz my choclate cakes and choco chip cookies have always been a fail !!
@@denice5806 either works great .
@@denice5806 lol it's *Dutch* (Netherlands), not German.
I am making this delicious Chocolate cake this weekend 2.10.2021 for my Beautiful daughter Birthday, she is turning 16 this weekend. Can't wait to try it! Thank you stay at home chef xx
I made this cake for the cast in a play I was in, I used fresh brewed coffee and vanilla, and my own buttercream icing, it was a huge success. The play was called The Ideal Husband at the Firehall Theatre in Niagara Falls. Great cast, great crew, great cake and an Ideal celebration on the last night. Thank you for sharing your recipe ❤
Just a pass along tip. I live by myself so a entire cake is too much for me. Since I started baking bread I weigh everything in grams. Now I just buy a box cake and divide whatever the grams are on the front of the box into 3. Last time it was 144 grams and then I just use one egg a third of a cup of water and two tablespoons of applesauce. I put it in a small loaf pan and bake at 350 Fahrenheit for 26 minutes minutes. then I make chocolate peanut butter buttercream frosting for the top. I get five pieces out of a loaf pan so a third of a box last me almost a week for less than a dollar . I lost my wife so now I'm learning how to cook for one. It's hard but I'm getting there.
tackless hi, thank you for this tip, it very helpful and n excellent idea!
Great tip! Sorry for your loss. I hope things get easier for you in time.
tackless this is a good idea!!!!
Thats tough, Hang in there buddy. Im just getting into baking now. we have a stand mixer on order. hoping to make a lot of new foods for christmas. Baking, or really just keeping busy in general, will help you get your mind off things.. Im sure you know.
Or you can make a big cake and have few pieces and wrap other pieces individually and give em to some homeless people who will truly appreciate it. :-)
I tried this recipe and it turned out amazing. Only changes I did I used my own buttercream and I must say I just love it.
How much measurements you take
Tried it this week.
I must say, hands down, one of the best recipes out there!
It’s the first and best recipe I have ever made, I don’t need to try another one it’s perfect, amazing !!
