Dark Chocolate Cake Recipe
There’s nothing more satisfying than a rich, chocolate cake—and this recipe delivers in every way. Deeply flavorful with layered notes of cocoa, it strikes the perfect balance between indulgent and versatile. The crumb is slightly more airy than its vanilla counterpart, yet sturdy enough for stacking and tiered creations. It also bakes beautifully into moist, tender cupcakes. This chocolate cake pairs effortlessly with a variety of frostings, including whipped chocolate ganache, peanut butter buttercream, Oreo buttercream, or caramel buttercream, making it a go-to recipe for any occasion.
This recipe makes four 8” rounds or 72 ounces of batter. It can be halved or multiplied with no issues.
Please note that this purchase is for the cake recipe ONLY - cover in your favorite buttercream, ganache, or just eat plain; the choice is yours!
This is a PDF download recipe with detailed instructions on how to bake my scratch-made dark chocolate cake.
