Directions
My Best Chocolate Cake, I actually had to sub regular ingredients to make this, VERY thankful I wrote it down!!! It’s got just about everything in there! And it’s DELICIOUS! Hope you try it sometime! :), I made a Creamy Peanut butter frosting(Recipe #111131) to go on top of this cake It made the cake taste just like a reeses cup! I thought the idea of putting coffee into a chocolate cake was a little weird but you really can’t taste it at all used a soy chocolate milk and that didn’t seem to change anything about the cake Oh, and the cake does come out a bit dense but that didn’t matter to me With the peanut butter frosting and i added some crushed butterfingers to the sides of the cake It looked wonderful and tasted very rich and glorious Thanks for sharing , This cake had a great chocolate taste, especially the frosting I gave it four stars instead of five because it didn’t come out nearly as moist as we’d hoped I followed the recipe exactly, except for adding cinnamon, but it rose like a typical cake Luckily I checked it after 30 minutes baking time because by that time it was already done That may have been the biggest factor in the lack of moistness I’m sure we’ll have it again, so next time I’ll start checking it after 20 minutes Thanks for posting

Grease 2, 8" Cake Pans With Butter-Flavored Crisco and Coat Evenly With Cocoa Powder. Each Pan Will Take About 2 Tbl. or So. *if You Have Trouble With Cakes Sticking to Your Pans, I Recommend That You Use Flour, or Half Flour and Half Cocoa For This. Mine Never Stick, but They Are Well Coated With Whatever in the Heck They Use, and Very Shiny. You Use Whatever Works Best in Your Pans. |
