Let the cake cool before you decorate it. Before you do any decorating, you need to let your cake cool fully. Leave your cake at room temperature for at least 1 hour, or put it in the fridge uncovered for at least 30 minutes.

Use a bright color if you want to surprise your guests with multi-colored cake. Coat the sides of your cake with a thin layer of frosting to prevent crumbs.

Tweet This is the Dark Chocolate Cake of my DREAMS! Tender, moist homemade chocolate cake with the best smooth, rich, dark chocolate frosting. I love any excuse to make a decadent I go crazy for all things dark chocolate and there’s nothing more tempting to me than this Dark Chocolate Cake. Between the amazing, flavorful and tender homemade cake and the rich, smooth and fluffy dark chocolate frosting, there is SO much to love about this cake! How to Make Dark Chocolate Cake: 1. Prep the cake pans: Grease three 9-inch cake pans. I like to cut a circle of parchment paper for the bottom of the pan to make sure it doesn’t stick. Set aside. 2. Make the chocolate cake: • Combine dry ingredients: flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. • Add wet ingredients: add milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla to flour mixture and mix until well combined. Slowly add boiling water to the cake batter and mix for about 1 minute. Pour cake batter evenly between the three cake pans. • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool before frosting. 3. Make the dark chocolate frosting: Stir together the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. In a separate mixing bowl beat the butter then gradually add the sugar/cocoa mixture alternating with cream and vanilla, beating after each addition, until you reach your desired frosting consistency. 4. Assemble: Lay one layer of chocolate cake on a cake board or platter. Use a spatula or the back o...

It can be made in any size of round, square or rectangular tin so you can use whatever tins you have in the cupboard, and can feed a few or a whole crowd. Today’s recipe is a variation on my popular It’s incredibly simple to make. I’ve taken the Mary Berry approach to baking and kept it as easy as possible by making an all-in-one chocolate sponge cake. This means all of the ingredients (except for the melted milk chocolate) are added into the bowl and simply mixed together. The melted milk chocolate is then mixed in before baking. The melted milk chocolate is the secret to what makes this cake taste amazing. It makes the cake moist and ensures that it tastes really chocolatey, something I find isn’t always the case with cakes made with cocoa powder alone. What to do • Once you’ve covered the top of your chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream, smooth it with a palette knife (it doesn’t need to be perfect just reasonably even). • Pop the cake onto the cake turntable. • Starting f...
