i would really like a chocolate cake recipe, i would prefer not from the box.

I want it to be moist and also something that i can decorate with fondant.

Thanx
Rita

this is the recipe i use for my choc cakes. it is really moist but not crubly. the buttermilk gives it a very smooth consistency.

HTH!

Have you looked in the recipes section?

I've used the recipe on the side of the Hershey Cocoa can. Works fine.

I've also used box mixes under fondant and have never had a problem. Granted, I haven't many fondant cakes, compared to the many fondant gurus on here, but box mixes worked fine for me.

hi, too many recipes on this site.. not to be able to find one you like.. experiment with some of them. some of box ..some are mix extenders. some are from scratch. we are all different and like different things. so you got your pick. hth there is a thread... something like gourmet flavors.. click forums. and you will find that thread on one of those topics or maybe at least 2 of them.. i comes out..just about every other day ..

I use Collette Peters Coco-Loco cake (minus the coconut and bourbon, add in Godiva Chocolate Liq). It is the most requested cake I make for family, friends and clients. Very good for fondant

If you click on the link in my signature it brings you to all the google docs from all the threads here on CC that have them. In those documents are every kind of cake recipe you can imagine. Just scroll through there, surely something will strike you.
