Moist Chocolate Cake Recipe

I found this recipe online, it is so yummy! - Best chocolate cake I've ever tasted!
  • 1 3/4 cups Cake flour, plus more for pans
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cups good cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk, shaken
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup freshly brewed hot coffee/instant (does not make the cake taste like coffee at all, Coffee just enhances the chocolate flavour)


Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare you cake pans.  I used  two 9in rounds, you can use rectangle pans or cupcake pans.. etc. 
Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into the bowl and mix until combined.
In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry. With mixer still on low, add the coffee and stir just to combine, scraping the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean.
Cool in the pans for 30 minutes, then turn them out onto a cooling rack and cool completely.

Two new cakes! (and a new recipe)

I finished two cakes yesterday, both very different! One is a Batman cake and the other was a Toopy and Binoo Cake! They were so much fun to make! I love getting all the different cake orders. So far every cake I have done has been completely different! I love getting to try different things!  Speaking of different things, I tried a new chocolate cake recipe... and it was so yummy! really moist and chocolatey! Here are the cakes!





Stay tuned for the next cake!
