When the rest of the world is obsessed with their New Year's diets, our hero Rik breaks out another great recipe full of butter and cream. You rule, RIk, YOU RULE!
I used to be a chocoholic as a kid. I have since lost my sweet tooth. For some reason, for the past several months I have been craving chocolate cake. I think I will make this. Thank you. Happy new year.
Fantastic,Rick.Unfortunately Im diabetic so I have to be careful with my diet but I love baking!I can always just watch your channel because I can enjoy your super dishes vicariously when you say 'Look at that'.
Oh my word. It's like you read my mind 😳 Just sitting here in my living room. I just sat down and I thought I would really like to make a chocolate cake. And there you❤❤ And watching you do it. It makes me think I can do that! Wow! It looks so good Thank you😊😊
WoW. We've moved from licking the spoon or bowl to licking the wood and or trivet. !!! You could put some rum or Something in there too. Thank you Cheff.
Hey mate I saw you cut 3 layers. Did you sneak a bit of cake before you assembled it. Lol. All you need is a bit of vanilla ice cream and you’ll be in heaven. 😊
You can’t have coffee without a cake… no wait …. you can’t have a cake without a coffee.. no wait …. put the coffee in the cake and jobs a good un’ 😂not to mention … ganache! 😋. Ooops I mentioned it😅
Love my coffee, but gotta have a big glass of cold milk with chocolate cake. Actually like the cake in a bowl with milk poured around it. I know, weird.
I LOVE ❤️ Chocolate & I LOVE ❤️ Coffee. Put the two together & you get a RIPPA of a Cake. I'm definitely making this. Chocolate Cake is my Absolute Favourite Cake. Can't get better than this. I wanted to reach in and grab that Cake. All that's needed is some Fresh Whipped Cream & either a Cup of Coffee, or a Glass of Cold Milk. Thanks Rik. 😋😋 - 👋Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺.
My husband always complains that chocolate cake is dry 😳I’m 💯sure he wouldn’t be able to say that if I made your cake Rik it looks so soft and moist , also I’m loving the compression tip to flatten cakes for layering thank you as always Amanda xx
Hello my friend. Sorry I didn't get to wish you Merry Christmas and Happy new year. 😘 So I say it now Happy new year to yourself your wife and son. Wow this cake looks amazing. My wee son in law loves chocolate cake. So this one will be his for the weekend.

I've been looking for a decent chocolate cake for.. oh, so long. Another great recipe from you 😋 If I want to make it for a children's party, should I substitute the coffee? If so, what with? Thanks

My problem is which awesome cake recipe is going to be The Choice ❤😅
Hope you find one - Happy Birthday. Thank You. Best, Rik
Looks amazing!!! Can I just check...is the 175 temperature for a fan oven? Or would it be 165 for a fan oven?
No fan - go for the 165, Thank You. Best, Rik
Does the oil help keep the cake moist, mine dont turn out that moist
Do you use oil? Thank You. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef no ive not used oil

Would be an interesting bake. Thank You. Best, Rik
Is the oven you use an air fryer? Or just a counter top oven? What brand please?
Oven. Electrolux and it does have an airfryer setting. Thank You. Best, Rik
