This recipe is absolutely gorgeous! I never could make a perfect frosting before and always ended up with very weak mixture, but this frosting is amazing! I used 10" tin, but still had good cakes! Thank you so much for this recipe! Wishing all the best to you and your family! You are an amazing cook and baker💜
@@aissatousow5690 I just used normal salt but everything else followed her recipe be sure to go on her website to get the exact measurements.. but it was definitely easy and absolutely delicious!
Gemmaaaaaaaa I've been searching for a long time for the master best chocolate cake recipe.... And never was satisfied, and I found your recipe, I followed your steps and I did it, it turned out delicious.... Thank you so much... God bless you...xxx
Thank you for making my wish granted! I make this for my mom's birthday! In drosting lessened the powdered sugar i add 1 cup at a time and i just add 3 cups and it taste good
When she says it is the best ever chocolate cake trust her because it is best ever. I have tried so many of chocolate cakes but it never tasted so delicious. thank you so much for sharing your best ever recipes., and making my kitchen a less of a disaster
Oh my goodness, you are a genius, Gemma! You just saved me from all those complicated perfect cake recipes for parties! Keep sharing your wonderful work!
Wow! This recipe is exactly same like the one I make. It is the bestest recipe ever.I am going to make it with the fudge frosting pretty soon, It is big and bold. Incredible. We are virtually Twins! Heading over your website to see homemade sprinkles recipe! High five👏🏽👌✌️
hello Gemma i love your channel but i don't have any stand mixer or hand mixer.i would really like it if you do a video of hand made frosting.I would really love it.
"To serve, cut yourself a big slice of cake!" Best video comment! I remember the homemade sprinkles video....I still have to try that; it looks so great on this chocolate cake!
Hi Gemma, I am big big fan of yours. I wanted to make 3 layered cake for example coffee chocolate and caramel cake. I thought if you can come up with such cakes i will be grateful to you. Btw I tried this cake and it was awesome.
the part when u tasted the frosting kinda reminds me when i make frosting i actually don't taste it....i eat half of it and end up with a stomachache...oops😆
@@biggerbolderbaking hi Gemma, I made your cake today and it turned out very well, but I was zapped with the amount of sugar in this. Is there any way to reduce the sugar quantity? 6 cups in icing sugar, I was reading it 3- 4 times to confirm that it's 6 cups and not 6tbsps😄, was so worried that I still have not used to the entire icing yet, I'm stocking it in the fridge to make another round of chocolate cake. So scared about the sugar. The whole family enjoyed it, gave it to my neighbours too 🤣 still lots left over. I enjoy making stuff, and all of your recipes come out so well. Made so many friends try your recipes too. I thank you from the bottom of my heart
Omg Gemma I literally love u just yesterday I had the same cake and it was so expensive and today I made the same thing at home actually even better and half the price I was a bit doubtful cuz it had oil and not butter but it turned out so moist and nice probably the best cake I ever tasted and ur decorating tip was very creative
@@biggerbolderbaking heyy I already made it though, using unsalted butter and it turned out pretty darn good. I can't stop myself from eating it out of the bowl before frosting the cake 😝
cristian rivera Hi Cristian! You can use any good quality cocoa powder like Ghirardelli or many different kinds of store bought brands. I hope you enjoy!
Hi Gemma! I'm a huge fan of your desserts! I've made so many of them and my brothers love each and every one of them! Although I'm a med student, I seldom find time to bake but every time I do they turn out great! A big thanks to you! Stay blessed!
Oh my gosh I need to try this I'm 12 and I love to bake and I have never actually tried making a three layer cake for some reason and I love the sprinkles on the edge
Hahahah! I like this one. Im not from the states though. *This comment happens when Trump and Clinton fight for presidency. Who will read it when. Hence the spec's =)
I think it is possible, but not in this size! (www.biggerbolderbaking.com/3-layer-cake-made-microwave/) you can add two - four tablespoons of cocoa to this one, and bake it as suggested :)
Hi Gemma! Your Chocolate Cake looks Grrrreat!! Looking forward to making it. Question Please: If I do not have 9" pans... (only have a 7" springform pan and a 9x9" Square Cake pan. Would I need to alter the recipe / baking time? to achieve success? Thank you! Mack
Last year you made the bubble gum cake for my birthday and this year you made this amazing cake. Thanks. I will definitely make this cake on my birthday.
This is my favourite cake recipe, SERIOUSLY! It's moist, decadent, perfect! There's really almost no way to make this recipe fail. Even as a beginner back then, this recipe has never failed me! Although buttermilk is not available in my country, I use Gemma's Bold Basics recipe for buttermilk. I've been a long time fan, love you Gemma!
+gemmastafford you're just so amazing. ...in love with ur recipes....tysm 😊i follow your recipes and they work gr8.....can you please give me a substitute for eggs as i am a vegan?😊.....
Hey Gemma, I only have 2 cake tins so instead of a triple layer cake, I can only make a double layer. What a bummer right? Hahaha, anyway, how long would I have to bake the cake if I split the batter into 2 pans rather than 3? thanks a million in advance :)
You can put it in two pans. Bake it at the same the smae time she says just check every ten mins by putting a tooth pokeinh a tooth pick in the middle. If the tooth pick is clean it's cooked. Hope this helped
Hi, I am still a learner. I cam bake cakes perfectly but learning to frost it. I'll be buying an offset spatula soon for cake frosting. I'm confused whether to buy a 6/8/10/12 inch one. It comes in the mentioned sizes. Your one seems and 8 inch one. Please recommend me about what length spatula I should buy. (You can also tell me what should be the length of the front part of the spatula excluding the handle). Thanks in advance :)
Hi Nadiya. The length of the spatula includes the handle. Each one has a different purpose depending on the size of the cake you will be working with. So for example, the 12 inch one will work for larger cakes. A 6 inch one will work for smaller cakes or cup cakes. Consider what kinds of cakes you will be working with in the future and you'll be grand. Hope this helps!
Έτσι ρε πατριωτη! Χάρηκα πολύ για την γνωριμία και ας είναι μέσω Internet! Παρεμπιπτόντως είμαστε ο μόνος λαός που όταν βρίσκουμε κάποιον πατριωτη, χαιρόμαστε τόσο πολύ και φυσικά αναφερόμαστε στην πατρίδα!!
I made this cake on Saturday and it was EVERYTHING!!! My family loved it and I will definitely be making this again. I'm adding it to my favorite recipes.
I made this recipe and it was absolutely divine....It was my first time baking a cake! I also added some melted chocolate to enhance the taste and it surely is a foolproof recipe! Thanks alot Gemma for helping me make my birthday special😄😄😄
Hi gemma...is this recipe good to make a 2 tier cake??like If we double the recipe...Please suggest...and I think you should do a video on multiple tier cake😊😊😊
Icing / powdered sugar is so finely ground, like flour, it is difficult to see how it could be granular, though I do not know the brand you can get. When this is sieved it will be about as fine as it gets. I think it may be how you made it. Go back to the recipe, and follow the instructions exactly, this will help. If you used granulated sugar, then this is what caused it. You can easily make powdered sugar at home if you do not have it www.biggerbolderbaking.com/how-to-make-powdered-sugar/ Let me know if you see where it went wrong for you, I think you will,
This is the best chocolate cake I have ever seen!!! I'll try it soon and hopefully I can make good buttercream for once, because I suck at making frosting. Btw I'm 11. One of your younger fans(:
Emily, that is great, I am happy that you are baking with us here on BBB. Well done. (www.biggerbolderbaking.com/best-ever-chocolate-cake/) the full recipe is right here :)
Hi, ive not tried that with this cake but i think it would work! If you give it a try let me know. One Bold Baker did try it and she was successful. Try using the timings in this recipe www.biggerbolderbaking.com/3-layer-cake-made-microwave/
Hii Gemma..one more awesome receipe. Baked it on my son's demand. He just loves sprinkles. Used gems too to decorate the cake. One request Can u please demonstrate a cake using ingredients other that egg like flaxseed or banana? Yesterday i used flaxseed but it didnt get gelatinous after being in water for almost 20-30mins. Thanks and lots of love
Everytime i bake something from your recipes they are always wetter or runnier .. what measurement do you use for a cup of liquid please? In australia its 250mls
It depends on what liquid you are measuring. All the ingredients are in grams and mils in my recipes. Especially when you are in hot and humid season or where you live, you may not want to dump all the liquid all at once. Just add the liquid slowly until everything is well hydrated unless I say that the batter should turn out wet or runny www.biggerbolderbaking.com/best-ever-chocolate-cake/
Love your recipies and your accent. However the sugar that is available in my country is very sweet and potent. I'm not sure how sugar is made where you live, but in Pakistan it's made from sugar cane. 6 cups of sugar for icing would be terribly a lot!
It is a lot of sugar. In America, sugar is made from sugar beets. Unless stated that it is made from sugar cane. You can try to reduce the sugar if you'd like
i have no words to describe how much i like your videos.i make your homemade no machine ice cream almost every day.can you make a lemon ice cream????That will be great .i have seen all of your videos and clicked like in all of them,i'm yo6r fan number1!!!!!
hello gemma. Im a great fan of urs. my boyfriend birthday is coming in September.. if u can share z recipe for opera cake.. Thanks gemma.. ur fabulous n I love all yr recipes.
Hi Gemma, me again, I was wondering when it comes to making the frosting, how long does it take to mix it all together, I whip the butter until light and fluffy about 7 minutes, then start adding the sugar spoonful by spoonful, but it takes so long, and after half of the sugar gets added I get impatient and just start adding more at a time. By the time that most of the sugar has been added, the butter is really soft.... any advice... once again? Thank you so much! x
Yes, it is a process that requires patience. Follow my step by step instructions on my best ever buttercream recipe and you'll be grand: www.biggerbolderbaking.com/best-ever-vanilla-buttercream-frosting/
Hiya, I would like to have a bit more frosting to decorate swirls, can you suggest how I can alter the ingredients to have half a small piping bag extra for decoration please?
It has a purpose in the recipe, and it is little enough! If you swap it out it will change the result, but not a lot! (www.biggerbolderbaking.com/best-ever-chocolate-cake/) check it out here. It balances with the buttermilk. you will need to nicrease the baking powder to 3 teaspoons :)
I like this recipe:) I want to try it!^^ But where did you get vanilla extract? I have some vanilla essence. Is vanilla extract same with vanilla essence?
Hi Gemma I love your channel! Quick question, if I had to make a smaller cake than what you’ve shown, can I suppose just half the ingredients that you have listed?
pls can I make a big wedding cake using this method? must the cakes be flat? I like to make big and very bold cakes. will it come out well if I choose to use a big and deep pan? pls kindly rewrite your recipe in grams.
+Akindele Damilola I haven't tried that, let me know how it turns out. Check out my website (www.biggerbolderbaking.com) for the measurements in grams. Thanks so much for watching :)
Gemma,Hi there ,in the process of making this for my dad' s birthday tomorrow, could you tell me please how you get the cake off the turn table and onto the cake stand,got stuck a bit at this stage:)
EveryBody this Cake recipe Is So Delicious My Mom Couldn't Believe I Made it She was shocked i Would Definitely Recommend This recipe♡♡♡

Hi Gemma, me again, I was wondering when it comes to making the frosting, how long does it take to mix it all together, I whip the butter until light and fluffy about 7 minutes, then start adding the sugar spoonful by spoonful, but it takes so long, and after half of the sugar gets added I get impatient and just start adding more at a time. By the time that most of the sugar has been added, the butter is really soft.... any advice... once again?
Thank you so much! x
Yes, it is a process that requires patience. Follow my step by step instructions on my best ever buttercream recipe and you'll be grand: www.biggerbolderbaking.com/best-ever-vanilla-buttercream-frosting/
Hiya,
I would like to have a bit more frosting to decorate swirls, can you suggest how I can alter the ingredients to have half a small piping bag extra for decoration please?
You can easily double this frosting recipe for sure www.biggerbolderbaking.com/best-ever-chocolate-cake/
It says, 3/4 cups of cocoa powder in the description but in her blog it says, 1/2 cup. Which one's right?

Can I replace baking soda with baking powder because I dont like baking soda it's smell bit annoying me.
It has a purpose in the recipe, and it is little enough! If you swap it out it will change the result, but not a lot! (www.biggerbolderbaking.com/best-ever-chocolate-cake/) check it out here. It balances with the buttermilk. you will need to nicrease the baking powder to 3 teaspoons :)
I like this recipe:) I want to try it!^^ But where did you get vanilla extract? I have some vanilla essence. Is vanilla extract same with vanilla essence?
정해승 You can use vanilla essence if that's what you have on hand :)
In ur written recipe, cake mould size is written 8inch. On video it's 9inch cake pan. What is the correct size of pan?
Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Hi Gemma I love your channel! Quick question, if I had to make a smaller cake than what you’ve shown, can I suppose just half the ingredients that you have listed?
Yes, that would work just fine. :)
pls can I make a big wedding cake using this method? must the cakes be flat? I like to make big and very bold cakes. will it come out well if I choose to use a big and deep pan? pls kindly rewrite your recipe in grams.
+Akindele Damilola I haven't tried that, let me know how it turns out. Check out my website (www.biggerbolderbaking.com) for the measurements in grams. Thanks so much for watching :)
Gemma,Hi there ,in the process of making this for my dad' s birthday tomorrow, could you tell me please how you get the cake off the turn table and onto the cake stand,got stuck a bit at this stage:)
