The BEST Moist Chocolate Cake recipe image

This is the only chocolate cake recipe you'll ever need! It's SO moist and rich. Pair it with my Best Chocolate Frosting and it's a chocoholics dream!

Provided by Christina Marsigliese

Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ¾ cup 250g all-purpose flour
2/3 cup 56g cocoa powder (I prefer this one)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup 200g granulated sugar
½ cup 110g packed light brown sugar
¾ tsp salt
2 large eggs
½ cup 120ml neutral oil
¾ cup 180ml sour cream
1 tsp 5ml pure vanilla extract
1 cup 240ml hot coffee

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans and line the base with parchment paper.
  • Sift flour, cocoa, baking powder and baking soda into a large bowl. Add both sugars and salt and whisk to blend well, pressing out any lumps of brown sugar.
  • Combine eggs, oil, sour cream and vanilla in a medium bowl and whisk to blend well. Pour into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix with an electric hand mixer on medium-low until blended. It will be thick and somewhat dry. Add the hot coffee gradually in two stages to minimize clumps forming and beat until evenly combined and the batter smooth.
  • Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 30-33 minutes until cakes spring back when pressed gently and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Transfer pans to a wire rack and let cool for 15 minutes before inverting onto the rack to cool completely.
  • Once cakes are cooled, cover them with my BEST Chocolate Fudge Frosting! The recipe is here.

Provided by Marina | Let the Baking Begin

Categories     Dessert

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 eggs, large, room temperature (, large, room temperature)
1/8 tsp salt
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
¾ cups all-purpose flour, sifted
¼ cup cocoa powder, sifted
1½ tsp baking powder
One or two 8 inch round Cake Pans, 2-3 inches tall
Foil & non-stick baking spray or Parchment Paper Liners for Round Cake Pans 8 inch diameter
Cake Strips, optional

Steps:

  • Gather your ingredients and measure them before starting. Sift the 3/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, and tbsps of butter.
  • Prep: For easy cleanup and removal of the cake, line an 8"x2"-inch baking pan (Note 1) with foil or parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray. Wet the cake strip and fasten it around the bottom of the cake pan.Preheat oven to 350°F with the rack in the center of the oven.
  • Whip eggs: Add 4 eggs and a pinch of salt to a mixer bowl fitted with a whisk attachment and whip the eggs until slightly foamy. Slowly pour 3/4 cup sugar into the eggs and continue whipping for about 15 minutes or until the mixture forms a ribbon that doesn't disappear for about 3 seconds when you lift off the whisk.
  • Fold in flour: Add the flour mixture into the whipped eggs in halves and carefully fold until almost no streaks of flour are seen. (To fold: use a large spoon or spatula and go under the batter, then bring it over as you invert the spoon to pour the batter on top). Do not over-mix or the cake will be dense.
  • Add the melted butter and carefully fold until all butter is incorporated. Do not overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the lined and greased baking pan and quickly swirl the pan back and forth couple of times to even out the batter.
  • Bake in a preheated to 350°F oven, on the middle rack for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Do not open the oven door sooner than 15 minutes into the baking process. Shut the oven door slowly, not to disturb the rise of the cake.
  • Cool: Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and allow to sit inside the pan for 5 minutes before removing it.Then, remove it from the pan and invert it straight onto the cooling rack, then peel off the foil or parchment paper and allow to cool completely before using it in cakes.

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Yield 8 decent slices, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ounces self raising flour
8 ounces margarine or 8 ounces butter
8 ounces sugar (I always reduce the sugar to around 6oz as I don't like things TOO sweet)
3 medium eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons cadburys cocoa powder
approx. 200ml water

Steps:

  • Cream the margarine and the sugar until light and fluffy. I personally prefer to lessen the amount of sugar as I don't like things overly sweet but 80z is the original recipe.
  • Whisk the eggs into the sugar/margarine mixture.
  • Slowly add the flour, baking powder and cocoa. Sieve these to avoid lumps (especially in the cocoa).
  • Stir in a figure of 8 fashion. Gradually add enough water to loosen the cake mix up a bit. It should be the consistency of a slightly thin custard.
  • Pour into a non stick cake tin, preferably with loose bottom. I use an 8'' round tin for this cake.
  • Bake on a middle/top shelf in the oven at 180 c for around 45 mins or until a skewer comes out clean.
  • Remove from tin and cool on wire rack. Once cooled, top with chocolate icing, frosting etc or dust with icing sugar and cocoa powder.

  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the mixture, which will make the cake rise higher.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the mixture from curdling.

  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to prevent the cake from sinking in the center.
