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!
