This is hands down the BEST chocolate cake I have ever eaten. It comes out of the pan perfect, no need to level or trim, just an amazing cake! I prefer this cake with a whipped buttercream icing, not too sweet.

This looks like the chocolate cake I used but instead of milk, mine takes buttermilk... it is to die for, I can't wait to try this one
I had been trying different chocolate cake recipes, and they were either too dry, too dense or just not good. But this one is awesome, I love it. I give it a 10plus.
Not able to get it out of the pan in one piece though, even though I greased & floured it. My bad. Good tasting cake. Very moist.
MMMMMM! thanks for the recipe, better if used Dutch Process Cocoa. Igive you a 10+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
i really wanna try this but im in uk and dont understand the cup measurement as we measure in grams ounces and ml for liquid?
Hi, for 1 c hot coffee, how much do i need to use? (2 T?) thanks!
Hi Selya,
I only use 1 teaspoon of coffee... I guess it depends on your preference. It is a delicious cake! It is exactly like the recipe I've been using for years, except I use buttermilk and it doesn't call for coffee. This one is a nice tweak to it.
have any of you tried using oxyn cocoa powder to this recipe?

THEEEEEEEEE BEESSSSTTT!!!!!
Just made this recipe into cupcakes-- they turned out PERFECT!! As someone else suggested, i increased the oven temp to 350 and baked for 18-20" for perfect, tall, gloriously domed cupcakes!!
Made this cake for my husband's bday and it was delicious! It was so rich and moist! Awesome cake! Will be my go to recipe from now on.
Does coffee have to go in it?? If not what to I put in instead of it??
You don't have to use coffee, you can substitute water. I just find that coffee enriches the chocolate flavor.
