Elyse's Chocolate Cake image

This cake is a deep dark brown. It is so easy and comes out perfect everytime. When I moved to Israel, I gave Elyse cake decorating lessons and she shared this recipe with me. It is the only chocolate cake recipe I use. It is so easy, my husband (who can barely microwave a hot dog) made this for me and it turned out great. This is the perfect base if you are going to ice/decorate it. Just put it in the freezer overnight first and the icing spread beautifully. Just as easy as Duncan Hines and much cheaper too.

This is the best chocolate cake I've ever made. It's moist, flavorful, and the ganache frosting is to die for.

This cake was a disaster! It fell apart when I tried to frost it.

I thought this cake was just okay. It wasn't as moist as I expected and the frosting was a bit too rich.

This chocolate cake was rich, moist, and decadent. The whipped ganache frosting was the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making this cake again!
