TO DIE FOR CHOCOLATE CAKE

To Die for Chocolate Cake image

This is a recipe from my Grandma Robbie. It was a staple in our family growing up on birthdays and special occasions. Due to the fact that the amount of sugar will put a diabetic in a coma, it's only made now on Christmas, and maybe a birthday. Do not try to make this in a 9x13 pan, it won't turn out right. I've inherited the original cake pan to make this, 10 1/2 x 15 1/2 by 2. A jelly roll pan works as well.

Tips:

Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the cake will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cake at the right temperature: The cake should be baked at a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If the oven is too hot, the cake will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked. If the oven is too cool, the cake will take too long to bake and will be dry.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This chocolate cake is truly to die for! It is moist, rich, and decadent, with a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness. The frosting is creamy and smooth, and it perfectly complements the cake. This cake is sure to be a hit at any party or gathering.
