I have made this chocolate cake many times now. The first few times were to perfect the recipe. After that, the cake was just too good and we ate it all before we could photograph it. This cake is amazing fresh out of the oven and still warm. Be sure to let it cool enough that you don’t burn your tongue. Watching it cool a bit is a struggle, though!

If you plan to frost it, let it cool completely first. Good luck with that! You will soon find frosting is completely overrated. Feel free to change you mind and eat it warm. So good!

This recipe makes only one layer, so if you want two layers, you will need to double the recipe. If you want to end up with two layers, you may want to make a third, because chances are, one of the layers will disappear before you’re ready to frost them!

Enjoy!
