Moist Chocolate Cake
I’ve had this Moist Chocolate Cake recipe written down for years and years, it’s off the back of a cocoa packet – can’t remember which one – but I’ve made it many times and it always turns out beautiful. Great for birthday cakes!
It is my go-to cake of choice – I like to ice it in a beautiful buttercream vanilla icing – or for a birthday cake – I make it a bit naughtier by icing it with cream cheese icing!
Our Moist Chocolate Cake is suitable for freezing, just allow it to cool to room temperature, double wrap the cake in plastic wrap (ensuring you wrap it tight enough to try and get as much air out as possible), then freeze for up to two months. Make sure you write on the outside with a marker the date you baked you cake and the contents.
