So listen, this recipe for soft chocolate cake is the one I’ve made the most. It’s my base for almost all chocolate cakes and cupcakes. It’s the dessert I make when I don’t have time. When I want a big cake that will be enough for a lot of people without making any effort (in case you were wondering, the cake serves 20 to 25 people depending on the size of their sweet tooth).
This is a chocolate cake suitable for kids’ birthday parties and for mom’s birthday. A chocolate cake for Friday night dinner (the pareve version here is really great) and also for a picnic. And the best part? You can let the kids make it and the cake will still turn out great even if they overmix, or add the ingredients in the wrong order, or some of the flour misses the bowl.
This is a very forgiving recipe that sometimes, believe it or not, I make in one go. I put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix everything together.
I also wrote some notes and upgrades for you below, don’t miss them.
