**RECIPE INFO**
This is my FAVORITE "GO TO" chocolate cake recipe! Courtesy of my cake guru Warren Brown! It is so moist and decadent. It melts right in your mouth! It's beyond delicious! In this video I made a SINGLE BATCH of this recipe to fill three 6" cake pans. Following is the recipe which can be easily doubled or tripled (or more if you have a large mixer like the one I used in my video). A single batch is the perfect amount for three 6" cake pans, a double batch is the perfect amount for three 8" cake pans, and a triple batch is the perfect amount for three 10" cake pans.
Chocolate Butter Cake Recipe:
~14 oz. extra-fine granulated sugar (1.75 cups), or 13 oz. at high altitude (1.5 cups + 2 tbsp)
~1.5 sticks (6 oz) of unsalted butter (at room temp.)
~7 oz. unbleached all-purpose flour (1.25 cup + 2 tbsp), or 7.25 oz. (1.25 cup + 3 tbsp) at high altitude
~2 oz. unsweetened cocoa powder (0.5 cup), or 2 & 1/8 oz. (0.5 cup + 1 tbsp + 1/2 tsp) at high altitude
~1.5 tsp baking powder (or 1 tsp at high altitude)
~1 tsp salt
~1 cup half 'n half (1 cup + 2.5 tbsp at high altitude)
~2 tbsp brandy
~1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
~4 large eggs (5 eggs at high altitude)
*Alcohol-free variation: Omit the brandy and increase the half-and half by 1 tbsp.
**Cocoa Powder Info**
The cocoa powder you use makes a BIG difference! Cocoa powder readily found in grocery stores (10% - 12% cocoa powder) works great! BUT, if you want a full, rich, and unforgettable flavor, attempt to use a full-fat, unsweetened, Dutch-processed cocoa powder with 22% - 24% cocoa powder. That's about double the cocoa powder you find in grocery stores. If you can get a hold of this kind of cocoa powder, try it. You'll LOVE it!
Conventional oven: bake at 350°
Convection oven: bake at 335°
*My cakes usually take about 35 minutes to bake. Depending on where you are it may take less or more time. (Sea level somewhere around 28 minutes, and high altitude somewhere around 32 - 35 minutes). Base the "doneness" of your cake by how it "looks". You know your cakes are done baking when the tops are en even dark brown color, and the sides of the cake have pulled away from the pan. "Test" for doneness by inserting a skewer or cake tester. If it comes out clean or just has a tiny touch of crumbs, they're done. Let them cool completely before taking them out of the pan. I like to wrap my cakes in plastic wrap and leave them in the fridge over night before icing them the next day.
**THIS RECIPE IS ALSO PERFECT FOR CUPCAKES!**
I know you'll LOVE this cake! Enjoy!

This is a great recipe. For the second wedding cake I've made so far, the bottom tier was made with this recipe & it was a hit. Everyone loved it. The top tiers were the vanilla butter cake from this channel. Both great recipes. Thanx again for sharing 😊
That is SO AWESOME to hear! Thank you so much for sharing your successes with us! :)
You guys have such a beautiful singing voice together! Even my son (almost 3) stopped playing and came to listen. He had me replay the song a few times!
Awww!!! That is so KOOL!!!! BIG smile on our faces!!! Thank you for that! :)
Thanks for the recipe. Red velvet and strawberry cake next :)
You're very welcome Sarah! Yumm-O!!!! Sounds DELISH!!! :)
Luv it do y'all have a strawberry flavor cake recipe?
Thank you Natasha! We don't but I highly recommend Liz Marek's from the Sugar Geek Show's strawberry cake from scratch. We use that recipe and it's absolutely delicious. :)
Hi Laura, I notice that in your vanilla butter cake you use potato starch but you don't use it in your chocolate butter cake, may I ask why?
Thank You so much for all your tutorials, you're a life saver. Many blessings.
HI Wanda! Yes of course. The cocoa powder takes the place of the potato starch. The cocoa powder adds the density the cake needs (which is what the potato starches does for the vanilla cake). I hope that helps. God bless you! :)
Thank you. I was wondering the same thing.
Hi!! Quick question, can you cut the recipe in half? Asking because I wanted to do the vanilla recipe too and make a marble cake. Thanks in advance!!
Yes, you definitely can! Thank you for watching. :)
I made this and the vanilla, OMG they are delicious!!!! Thank you so much for the recipe 😍😍
That is SO AWESOME Aris!!! Glad you liked it! :) You are VERY welcome!
Your chemistry is adorable. I enjoy watching your videos from Nairobi Kenya. Please tell me what can I use to replace half n half?
Thank you so much Charty! That's very kind of you! There's really not a replacement for it. Half 'n Half is half whole milk and half cream (the kind you put in your coffee). If you can't find half 'n half in your country then you may want to just try mixing those two ingredients together. I don't see why it wouldn't work. :) If you try it let me know how it works for you ok? God bless you! :)
You guys have to go to AGT. YOUR VOICE AND SENSE OF HUMOR MAKE YOU GUYS UNIQUE.
That's so kind of you! Thank you so much! :)
You guys are the best..... I'm gonna give it a try, looks delicious 😋....
cantan muyyyyy vien!!!!
Do I need simple syrup for the Cakes?
Thank you Eunice! We hope you like it! Jaja! Gracias! Así no la pasamos! :) You can add simple syrup to it but try it as is first to see how you like it. It's very moist. :)
Krazy Kool Cakes & Designs ok i will..
Such a wonderful channel, may i know how much is a stick and half of butter ( in grams or ounces) ??
Thank you so much Reem! Glad you enjoy my channel. I appreciate that! :) 1 stick of butter is typically 4 oz., so 1.5 sticks would be 6 oz. I hope that helps and thank you for watching! :)
You guys are such a beautiful couple. I just made GodzIlla Butter cream cake every everyone raved about it. My question is for the Chocolate Butter cake I want to make an 11x 15 sheet cake if I double the batter would that be enough also how long should I cook it for and the temperature using a Convention oven. Thanks guys for all your video and laughter.
Hi Janet! Thank you so much for your sweet words. We really appreciate you watching. :) So glad everyone liked it. That's wonderful! I would probably triple the batter to be on the "safe side". If you have extra batter you can make a couple of 6" cakes (for the munchies like my hubby does, LOL). I would leave the cake in the oven for a good 10 more minutes, but be sure to look at it (light in oven) before opening the oven door as this sometimes causes the cakes to collapse. If it still looks very wet and jiggly in the center than leave it a bit longer. For much larger cakes like this it's really just "eyeballing" it to determine whether or not it's done. To help your cake bake evenly you may want to place a couple of flower nails near the center. I hope that helps and thank you for watching! :)
A estos panes se le puede poner sirop??? O lo que llaman envinarlos? Gracias!
Hola Milly! Si claro que si! En Ingles se dice "sugar syrup" o "simple syrup" pero no se como le dicen en Español. Gracias por visitar nuestro canal! :)
II love that you guys do this together. So sweet!!
Thank you so much Melody! :)
Hi guys! You have a great chemistry! I love how you make me laugh with your videos. Just a quick question. Can I add Baileys instead of brandy? What measurement?
Thank you Gel! Glad you enjoyed the video! We appreciate you watching! Yes, fell free to sub with Baileys. :)
Hi Laura!!! Love watching both of you work together!!!
Can you use this chocolate cake recipe and your vanilla recipe to make a marble cake?
My daughters love marble but I️ want to make it myself this time instead of the cake box mix.. I’m new at this baking stuff!!!!
Thank you in advance! 😊
Thank you so much Myra! :) Yes definitely! We mix the two all the time to create a delicious marble cake. You're very welcome! :)
Hi question please.... what is this half n half from NewZealand
Hi Megha! Thank you for your question. Half 'n half is half creamer and half milk. It's what we normally put in our coffee here. I hope that helps. :)
@@krazykoolcakes thank you
I loved the singing it there is ever a time you cant make cake dont worrie you guys can sing love ya both
Very sweet of you Sara. Thank you! :)
Is this cake good for carving?
This cake is EXCELLENT for carving. :)
Got to give this one a go... looks yummy, I had to make a chocolate cake last week and it was horrible I so wish I'd had this to watch last week 😩😂 sooo Thankyou Laura and Arnnie for your help..advise..and time. I have to make this one 😊
We hope you like it Ellen! It's our FAVORITE!!! God bless! :)
Lovely! Voices and all! I’ve been wanting to try a chocolate butter cake. Can’t wait. Thankyou for this recipe. Looks heavenly❤️❤️👏👏
Thank you my friend! We hope you love it! :)
You guys are so cute! Bakers and singers- what talent.
Thank you so much Rebecca!!! Very sweet of you! :)
Alright sound like Peaches & Herb. But I know Barbara Mason sing this. . Lol lol Ya 2 sound beautiful & along with your yummy cake. Nice video.
Thank you so much Eva! :)
When I heard them sing I was was like: I’ll right now, they took it back old school
LOL! :)
please suggest the replacement for half and half as we don't get this here .
annapurna addanki hi! There is no replacement for the half and half. This product is half milk and half coffee creamer. Perhaps you can find a recipe online that shows you how to make it from scratch.
Amazing cake and amazing singing thank you both your talent is endless 😀💁🏻
Thank you VERY much!!! God bless you! :)
You guys are the best. I love love love your video's. I'm planning to make this cake. I'm baking it in a 12x12x3 square cake pan should I double the recipe for this pan, how much batter for this pan, what oven temp and how long should I bake it for. Thanks so much for your vhero's and making it so easy for beginners
That makes us SO happy Janet! Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback. We appreciate you watching. Yes, definitely double your recipe. Good thinking! :) Always fill up your pan halfway (no matter the height of your pan). Start by baking the same length of time we mention in the video (description info under video as well) and at that point just visibly check for doneness. If it "looks" ready, then just quickly open up your oven and test the center with a skewer or tester. If it comes out clean, you're good. If not, leave it another 10 minutes and then check it again. When baking with larger pans, it's a lot of constantly checking. I hope that helps. :)
Hi! I was wanted to know if you only use wilton cake pans or if you used other brands. I'm currently using fat daddios pans and I always get them 3 inches deep but I have a feeling that the pans burn my cakes.
Any suggestions? Thank you!
Hi Brittany! I hope you're doing great! Some of our cake pans are Wilton and others are Fat Daddio's. I'm sure we have some other brands mixed in there as well. LOL. I do have to say that from all of the ones we have, Fat Daddio's are our favorite! Ours are also 3" in depth. If your cakes are burning it's only because you're leaving them too long in the oven. Hope that helps! :)
Hi Laura!!! Made this cake and it was the best!!! I need to make a 10 inch cake, so wanted to know how many batches can I make at the same time in a regular kitchen aid mixer?
Hi Zulema! That's so awesome! Glad you liked it! :) I would probably make 2.5 batches if you want to make three 10" layer cakes (for one cake tier). We use a larger mixer so I know we can fit all these batches at once but if you're using a smaller mixer then I would probably split it in half. I hope that helps. :) Thank you for watching!
Hi and thanks for all your tutorials! I am pretty sure but would like to just confirm, baking the cake takes the alcohol out of the brandy, right? I would like to make cupcakes with the recipe and take to work, but I am a little concerned about the alcohol. Or if I were to use at a kids event. Thanks so much!!!
Hi Terri, You're very welcome. Alcohol begins to evaporate at 172 degrees Fahrenheit (78 degrees Celsius). The longer the cake is in the oven, the more alcohol evaporates. However the only way to 100% get rid of all the alcohol would be to leave it for longer than one hour in the oven, which you definitely don't want to do. Brandy does give this recipe a delicious added taste which the amount is so small, it is not harmful to children, HOWEVER, if you don't want any brandy in the recipe at all, my suggestion is to just omit this ingredient. The cake is still VERY delicious without it. I hope this helps. :)
This cake is delicious! I had to substitute with regular APFlour, regular sugar, the cheap cocoa powder and didn't use the brandy, but it was still amazing! Thank you so much for this yummy recipe!
Glad it worked out for you! Thanks for letting us know! :)
Hello,
Love you guys. I have made this cake several times delicious. This time I want to make it in a 5 inch round 2 inche cake pan, 3 layers, do you think one bactch will be enough, how much batter for each pan and how long should I bake them. Do I still set my oven at 350? Thanks so much for all you Videos and you guys continue the good work. We love it.
Hi Janet! Thank you so much for your kind words. :) Glad you liked this cake. One batter should be enough for all 3 of your small 5" cake pans. Just fill them each evenly. They should be slightly below or at half the height of the pan. Yes, always bake at the same temp. Hope that helps and thanks for watching. :)
I LOVE your vanilla cake recipe and I'm going to give this one a try. Would this chocolate cake recipe and the vanilla cake recipe combine well for a marble cake?
Thank you Maria! We hope you enjoy it! Yes the two combined make for the PERFECT marble cake. That's exactly how we make ours. Enjoy and thank you for watching! :)
Looks delicious guys! Can't wait to try it, Thank you for sharing the recipe and your beautiful singing voices as well! Wow!! 😃😉
Thank you Adriana! It's our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed the video! :)

Muchísimas gracias Blankita! Muy lindas palabras! Haber si algún día te animas a visitarnos en El Paso, TX para una clase privada. :)
What brand cocoa powder do you recommend? I do not like nestle or Hershey from the local grocery store. Thanks!
We often use Ghirardelli chocolate. We love it! :)
hello, just made vanilla butter cake and it is really moist and nice will use all the time now what I wanted to know was I wanted to try the chocolate one don't you put any potato starch in it thanks Betty
That's wonderful Betty! Glad you liked the vanilla! The Chocolate doesn't have potato starch due to the larger amount of cocoa powder. You're going to LOVE it! It's delicious! :)
You guys are great as always, could you tell me the name of the cocoa powder please. Thank you in advance 😉
Thank you Nathaly! This particular cocoa powder is Ghirardelli chocolate gourmet powder. :)
Hahaha that was so funny and delicious. Thank you so much for the recipe, you´re incredible :).
Thank you so much Diana! We appreciate that! :)

Love this recipe and you both are fantastic!!! Can you tell me if I can use it for a carved cake? Thank you, Ivana.
Thank you so much Ivana! Glad you liked US! :) Yes, this cake and the vanilla are PERFECT for carving into 3D cakes. Thanks for watching! God bless you! :)

You guys are so funny! Thank you for the great video, I'm going to give it a try!
Haha! Thank you Danielle! :)
Wrap the outside of the pans with wet cloth and the centers won't bulge up. Baked cake will be flat.
No need because we tort our cakes any way.
I was wondering the height of your cake pans ? Is it 2’’ Thanks
Hi Julia! Yes they are 2" pans. You're very welcome and thanks for watching! :)
I live in Ireland and have'nt a clue what half n half is. Can someone please tell me what it is.
Hi Jackie! Thank you for your question. I just looked up what the equivalent of half 'n half is in Ireland and there is none. Half 'n half here in the United States is a simple blend of equal parts whole milk and light cream. It averages 10 to 12% fat, which is more than milk but less than light cream. Due to its lower fat content than cream, it can't be whipped. Half-and-half in some countries is known as "half cream" like in the United Kingdom. In other countries such as Australia it is known as "single cream". You may want to experiment and try making it yourself by whipping together whole milk and light cream. I hope that helps! God bless you. :)
Awesome video guys and you tell the best brand of the full fat dutch processed cocoa powder to purchase plz? Thanks
Thank you Anisha! We often use Godiva Dark or Ghihardelli Sweet but there are several others out there that are just as delicious! Thanks for watching! :)
Krazy Kool Cakes & Designs Thanks guys
You have lovely singing voices. And brilliant cakes 😁 👍💕
Awww! Thank you so much Susan!!!! :)
Love you guys, sound so good lol 😍, awesome chocolate cake, ty
Love you too Renee! Thank you so much! :)
Love you guys, missed watching your videos.
Thank you Imelda! Love you too! :)
First let me thank you for all your tutorials. I'm actually learning all my techniques from you both. I've tried the vanilla butter cake and its quite awesome. I tried the chocolate butter cake and my batter was a bit on the thin side. I'm not sure where I went wrong. It still was moist and delicious but not like the vanilla cake. I'll be remaking this cake tomorrow.
Hi! You are VERY welcome! Glad you're enjoying them! Hmmm.... I wonder what it could be as the batter should be quite thick. You can kind of see the consistency as the batter is dropping into the pans. Did you use half 'n half? Be sure to go over all of the ingredients and try it again. I'm sure it'll come out perfect the next time around. Please let me know how it goes. God bless! :)
Just an update it came out perfect the second time. Faulty scale was the problem.
Great news! That's awesome! :)
You guys got down with the cake recipe and the singing 💕
Thanks Jessica! :)
Holy wow, this looks yummy! You both did awesome!!!
Thank you so much! Appreciate you watching! :)
What kind of brandy’s do you use???
We use E&J.
How long do you bake for cupcakes?
We've never used this recipe to make cupcakes so I'm sorry that I can't give you an estimated time. I would recommend just watch and see. :)
Have you ever added potato starch to this recipe?
Hi Amber! This recipe does not use potato starch. :)
How sweet! Todo educated, and sing too.
Thank you so much! :)
Is it chocolatey, like a devils food cake or more like a German chocolate cake?
More like a gigantic brownie cake.
Krazy Kool Cakes & Designs sounds yummy
You Guys RocKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Thank you JChan JChan! :)
You guys are the cutest!
Awww! Thank you Cloe! :)
Hi! Thanks for this recipe! Excited to try it BUT I can't seem to find "half and half"? What can I substitute to that? Can I use just plain milk? Thanks for responding! Appreciate it a lot 😁
Hi Joy! Half 'n half is just coffee creamer. You should be able to find creamer in your local grocery store. You're very welcome! :)
Plz make eggless cake recipe
Hi Veni, We don't make eggless cake recipes. :)
Many thanks 🙏🏼
You're very welcome Josy! Thank you for watching! :)

Hi Dee! You can find conversion calculators very easily online. :)
Sorry but what is - half and half?
Hi Louise! Half 'n Half is used a lot in the United States for coffee. It is half heavy cream and half milk. :)
What size mixer do you use?
Hi Jasmine! We use a 7 Qt. mixer by Kitchen Aid.
What is 1 cup half n half?
Half 'n half is a product sold in the U.S. It is half creamer and half milk. It's mainly used for pouring into coffee. :)
Love the singing..lol
Awww! Thank you so much! :)
What is that half and half???
Half cream, half milk.
