I am looking for a moist, fudgy chocolate cake. Does anyone have any suggestions??
I'm also searching for a chocolate buttercream. I tried adding the cocoa powder to regular buttercream, but I didn't really like it.

I usually use the DH Devil's Food cake mix, added egg, and box of devil's food pudding. You can subsitute buttermilk for water. It is my favorite chocolate cake, always moist, but I'm I don't know if it is fudgy.

For chocolate icing, I always add in melted chocolate to my regular buttercream recipe. I have uses the Baker's Chocolate Squares, chocolate chips and even Witlon Candy Melts.

How much you add depends on how chocolately you want it to be. I like it really chocolately.

I know there are alot of fillings that go good with chocolate cake, but do you have any suggestions for a filling that is super good with chocolate cake?

I really like this chocolate icing recipe. I think I use butter instead of margarine though.

1/4 cup margarine, melted
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, beat margarine and cocoa together until combined. Add milk and vanilla; beat until smooth. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar until desired consistency is achieved. Adjust with more milk or confectioners' sugar if necessary.

I like either bavarian creme or raspberry but that is just me.
I also use the DH devils food cake mix and use buttermilk instead of water and add a devils food pudding to it. It is YUMMMY!

If you're looking for a cake from scratch, I like Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate cake. It's really quick to make and super moist!

I've made it with BC, whipped cream and chocolate mousse.

Since I read (somewhere) that cocoa powder dries the cake out even more, I melt 1/4c of Hershey's chocolate pieces and add it to the cake mix. I use milk in place of water and butter in place of oil.

Hope this helps.

I like Nutella as a filling for chocolate cake.

I just did a chocolate cake the other day, (same recipe as TexasSugar!) and I made a Kahula custard filling for it, and iced it with Mocha frosting. My daughter says she now has a new favorite cake combo! If you want the Kahlua filling, just let me know.

Yea tell me about it! You can't go wrong with it! Whenever someone wants chocolate I always use this one.

My family prefers the Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Cake as well. It's wonderful. And for an extra dark chocolate, use the special dark cocoa. It's also VERY good and rich with Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Frosting.

I can't believe no-one suggested chocolate mud cake... I make it (using a recipe I found on YouTube- bakelikeapro) and have adapted it to be gluten free and use dairy free soya or sunflower margarine instead of butter. It is the fugdiest most chocolatey delicious cake and lasts for simply ages. I use it for wedding cakes untorted, or I've just discovered I can cook it in layered tins. (Cutting gf cake is a nightmare cos it's so terribly crumbly..!)

I've never used a packet mix for cake making...I'm always amazed at anyone who does! 

As for filing...chocolate chocolate chocolate thank you. Ganache, or SMBC with melted chocolate or ganache mixed in is go to.

I like Earleen Moores' choc cake...my customers like it, too

Like Ray, Madi and April, I like the Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate cake.   Like gfbaby, I seldom use cake mixes, although my youngest daughter likes them better than scratch cakes.

I also like Nutella for filling, but my favorite with chocolate cake is homemade raspberry jam.  I've also made a chocolate/sweet cherry jam that was pretty good too.

I like Hershey's Black Magic cake and coffee flavored Swiss Meringue Buttercream.
