This Death by Chocolate Cake contains four layer of rich chocolate cake frosted with decadent chocolate buttercream and topped with melted chocolate. It’s a chocolate lovers dream!

There is such a thing as too much chocolate on a cake? Impossible.

Death by Chocolate Cake

This is by far one of the richest, most decadent cakes I’ve ever made. It’s chocolate overload.

A dense and fudge-like chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream topped with dark chocolate ganache and decorated with all sorts of chocolates goodies. Since it’s Halloween, I’m calling it Death by Chocolate Cake!

This is one of the rare years when I’m dressing up. Sadly, there isn’t much Halloween spirit in my neighborhood.

When Alex and I first moved here to Pasadena, we bought a bunch of candy, thinking we’d have a lot of trick-or-treaters visiting. No one ever rung our doorbell.

We ended up with more candy than any adult should have at home.

In the past, we’d usually attend a Halloween party (my favorite: Mickey’s Halloween Party at Disneyland!). This year, we’re staying in.

We’re going to be eating this chocolate cake, ordering pizza (from multiple locations! because we want ALL the pizza. I’ll probably be Snapchating about it), and watching movies until we fall asleep. Think Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future… basically all the awesome 80s movies of our childhood.

And maybe, if I get Alex stuffed on pizza and chocolate cake, he’ll agree to watch Pretty in Pink or Say Anything.

This chocolate cake is super rich, dense, and decadent.

It’s definitely not meant for two people to finish. You can see just how fudge-like this chocolate cake is from the cross section!

This is the kind of cake I dream of when I’m craving chocolate. And I’m pretty sure after this post goes live, my friends and family will be asking me to bring this to the next party.

So this Hallween, forget trick-or-treating and invite friends over to share this small but mighty chocolate cake.

Even after a tiny slice, you will definitely be chocolate wasted. :)
