      Yo's Ultimate Chocolate Cake

      Rich, firm, and dense.

      This chocolate cake is my go to recipe. I love the fact that this cake is moist and delicious. I also wanted to make a cake sturdy enough to carve into novelty cakes like the ones you see on How To Cake It. I’ve been making this chocolate cake recipe for 15 years, adding a few tweaks here and there, and it has never let me down. Whether it's smothered in buttercream, draped with fondant or dripping with ganache, this cake is a must!

      *Tips: Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you begin!*

      Preperation

      Sift Dry Ingredients

      Sift your flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a bowl and whisk together. Set aside.


      Combine Water and Cocoa

      Boil some water. Pour your hot water onto your cocoa and whisk until your cocoa dissolves completely. Set aside to cool slightly.


      Cream Butter and Sugar

      Cream your butter and sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 8-10 minutes.


      Add Eggs

      Add your eggs to your sugar mixture, two at a time, and blend until incorporated. Scrape down the sides as needed.


      Alternatively Add Dry Ingredients and Cocoa Mixtures

      Add your dry ingredients alternatively with your warm cocoa mixture. Begin by adding dry, then alternate with wet.


      Bake Cake

      Pour your batter into your desired parchment lined pans. Always bake at 350 degrees according to the chart above, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely in their pans.


      Congratulations!
