IF YOU DON’T HAVE FUDGE HANDY If you’re substituting the fudge for a ganache just scald 1/4 cup of cream or milk and pour over an equal amount or semi or bittersweet chocolate chips (or chopped). Let it sit for a few minutes then whisk together. You can add more or less of this into the buttercream It’s really up to you! this is from his page!
I love this man so much! I'm 14 and I like to bake as a hobby and his kitchen looks so organized in his videos and he leaves the recipes in the description and I was nervous because I don't have buttermilk but in the description you explained how to substitute it! Thank you so much!
@@thegreenmanofnorwich Red velvet is usually chocolate, but there are variations omitting the cocoa powder. Still looks beautiful (food colouring), and might taste more to your liking?
Getting ready to make this recipe for my daughter's birthday tomorrow, the most appealing thing about this recipe is the flat top cupcakes- I really want to decorate them without the icing sliding off. That controversial factor is what decided it for me. Thank you!
This cake is literally the best chocolate cake I've ever tried. I made this for my sister's bd and it turned out great every one loved it although i just lessened the amount of suger in the recipe cause we're not in to sweets alot and used different frosting it still was a total hit. Thank you so much for your wonderful recipes
@@charliechuggerz u do understand that a cake and a frosting are two different things, also just because i lowered the amount of sugar by 50 gr the cake doesn't change drastically. i also have tried this chocolate buttercream, it's rich and sweet , definitely not my thing if that's what u wanna know.
You made lots of friends when you scooped the frosting on the cake. I think I'll do the same but not spread it out, but leave it with the scoops. Such a pretty look and I think it will be a hit.
I made this cake for my son’s 11th birthday and OH MY GOODNESS this was the BEST chocolate cake I’ve ever made!! Everyone raved about it and I enjoyed their gasps and reactions of disbelief when I told them it was homemade…by moi 💁🏼♀️
Delicious! Best chocolate cake recipe. I cut down on the sugar and replaced half with brown sugar. Didn’t use sour cream and use Greek yoghurt instead, excellent!
I made this and it is is by far the best chocolate cake ever! So moist and so chocolatey (btw, you don’t taste the coffee at all, just very chocolatey). I used his ganache recipe instead of this butter cream recipe because i personally don’t like butter cream. I added a few table spoons of brandy to the ganache and it made the ganache taste more sophisticated. If you can resist, let the cake sit overnight, the texture gets even more moist and rich after a day or two! Highly recommend this! 15/10! Thank you john!
Made this for Thanksgiving and if you want a delicious chocolate cake this is it!!! The frosting is ahhhmazing! This will be my go to chocolate frosting from now on!!!
Made this cake for my 6yo son’s birthday party and it was a huge hit with all the guests, even the kids who I find only ever take one bite of birthday cake. I froze the extra cake and ate it 9 months (!) later. It was even more amazing. Thank you! Great recipe.
I made this cake for Easter Sunday dessert. Wow what a wonderfully delicious cake. Super moist and major chocolate flavor. The frosting is AMAZING. A winner in my book. Thanks for the detailed instructions. I felt confident and joyful making it.
My mother used to make a similar cake when I was a kid, her frosting was mint flavour and bright green (it was the mid seventies)! Thanks for bringing back happy memories, giving me a great recipe and a nice update with the fudge/ganache buttercream! Have a lovely day!
Hello! I’m gonna try making this cake today, with a bit of a twist - I’m going to replace the fudge in the icing with salted caramel and add some coffee, so I’m hoping it’ll taste like a salted caramel mocha! Thank you John for the inspiration, and with the way you present it makes me feel like even as a novice I can make something yummy. :’D
Made this for my Mom's birthday yesterday. I don't like coffee but stayed true to the recipe. This is So good!!! Everyone loved it. Thank you for your time and effort in giving us great recipes. I love your channel.
Thank you for showing how liquid the cake batter is, without that, I would have been worried or convinced I had messed up. I have made 7 of your dessert recipes so far and a few even 2 or 3 times, they are all really great.
I literally started making this last night as soon as I finished the video. I've come to loooove all your videos but I'd never made any of your recipes! I replaced the sour cream and buttermilk by homemade plain yogurt! I've got to say, the best chocolate cake I've ever made!! And my guests loved it too! I didn't make the frosting, though. Here in Argentina we're not used to it, and although I love it, It's a lot of fat and sugar that I can do without :) I just sprinkled confectioner's sugar on top and VOILA!!! Thanks for your amazing videos! I even made my girlfriend a fan of yours, and she doesn't bake, lol!
I made this for my sister's birthday today...n it was devine...it was soft , moist and literally melted in the mouth...trust me its 3 years since m baking chocolate cakes..but none turned out this awesome...
This was indeed delicious. I made it to the T and it was perfect. Made a slight change and topped it with coffee frosting with tasted wonderful . Thanks😁 I'll definitely be making more from your recipes
I made this yesterday. I was concerned the cake would be too salty or that I had added too much coffee but it was perfect! Baked for 55 minutes. Super moist! The buttercream was more dense and wasn’t as fluffy for me as the video which was sad for me lol. I’m not sure if I under or over beat it. It was also too sweet for me. I was going to cut the amount of sugar in the frosting then ended up using the whole amount. I used double the fudge which was a good decision. I didn’t use a whole 3/4 t salt as that was far more than a pinch for me. BUT it was overall delish and was a hit to the party I brought it to!! Also I made it with gluten free flour and it was perfect.
He might look fine, but possible he got fat liver, high blood pressure and other things you can't see. Man boobs, low T, weak muscles, belly fat etc. But I doubt he eat cake everyday.
I made this! It was soooo yummy. I did leave the coffee out because I hate coffee, but the cake and frosting were both amazing. My nephew is visiting from college for the summer and I’m making one for him tomorrow. If you’re thinking about making this, you should. It’s not difficult and it is so amazing! Thanks for this recipe!❤️❤️❤️
Hi! Thanks for the recipe! My mother is baking this cake right now. She is not happy because she hates cooking lol but the house smells soooooo good!!! Thanks God she didnt burn this one...
I just did this today. The cake is awesome, so moist. I found the cream little too sweet but if you like it that way, great recipe! Thank you for sharing your tips!
Just came out of the oven. I was so skeptical with that runny batter, but I had to give it a try, since your recipes are always crowd pleasers. It smells amazing!
I just made this. Super easy to make. I was initially worried about the amount of baking soda as I normally don't use that much in other cakes, but it turned out beautifully. I also reduced the amount of sugar by 100g as I didnt want it too sweet. My cake baked in 30 mins in a wider tray and was still soft. However I had a bit of a crusty top, not too sure why. But this is such an easy cake to make, with a good frosting it will be delicious.
You are truly awesome...you manage to show all the recipes in such an interesting and captivating way...the best ingredient for any recipe is love and you love what you do
I was asked to make the cake for my great nephew's graduation party. I used this recipe but made two for a double layer cake. In the middle I put a raspberry whipped cream with fresh raspberries. For the frosting I also used this recipe (the fudge makes all the difference). One batch was enough to frost the top and sides of the cake. I was too lazy (and tired) to make another batch for decorating so instead I made a ganache to make it look drippy all around, then I froze it so it would stay cold later. It was a big hit! Everyone said how delicious it was and my brother asked where they had got it. Even one of my sisters who usually doesn't like chocolate cake had seconds. Thanks John!
I thought at first you were going to make the Texas Sheet Cake……my daughter in law has a recipe for a cake that my daughter and I just call The Cake……it’s pretty awesome. She had to promise not to share the recipe with anyone! I’m happy to share all of my recipes since I didn’t develop them, someone else did and shared their recipe….just like you are so generous with all of your recipes. I love all of your beautiful KitchenAid stand mixers. 🤗
Newly subbed & enjoying your channel. Youre super hilarious at times lol. Thank you for using cups measurements as well as how much it weighs - super helpful.
I made this over the weekend and it was delicious, I did make 2/3 of the buttercream as didnt want too much on mine and worked perfectly. My other half said bes chocolate cake I've ever made. Thanks for an amazing recipe ❤
Omg made this as a 2 9” pans and made a beautiful chocolate cake. Love this recipe. Will try the sheet pan soon. Totally recommend. Wish I could attach a picture for you to see!!❤️🎂. Thank you for the recipe.
Omg did this recipe a week ago it was so moist and delicious never even needed icing.My brother made so many trips over I had to hide the rest so someone else could get some😊😊
Omg, your cake/frosting recipe looks FANTASTIC However, the cake & frosting seems for a huge event!! I'd love it if you would convert to a basic recipe!!! I'm a new subbie, love your baking ideas! Thank you kindly.
Love this video! Love the ending, so glad I can trust you to not do a recipe cold 😂 also yay baking science! This looks so delicious! I want to make it for my birthday (turning 20 next month!!)

Fahmida Mahbub I mixed the milk half with baileys- terrific
Ahh thanks.I was wondering what I would do because I don't have fudge.❤
Could I add Nutlla instead of Fudge?
@@leumihaela7370 I think you can, but then reduce the amount of powdered sugar
cool cake

Gorgeous! I would love to see a carrot cake version of this... can you imagine all that cream cheese frosting? *quivers*
David Seymour -AAaAhhhhH
O.m.g.... I bet it would be mouth watering
OMG yessssss
Or
Red Velvet 😛😛😛😛
I do love carrot cake... and vanilla cake... and lemon cake... and coffee cake. Dammit, I want all the cake. Except red velvet, which I'm not keen on.
@@thegreenmanofnorwich Red velvet is usually chocolate, but there are variations omitting the cocoa powder. Still looks beautiful (food colouring), and might taste more to your liking?
This is by far the best chocolate cake I have ever tasted! Thank you! Will never use another recipe for chocolate cake.

My late aunt taught me to add coffee to chocolate cake batter back in the mid 1970s. Nice to see you advocating the same. :)
I'm a Virgo, too!!!!! I can't wait to make this for our Sunday night get together!!!!! Thanks, John!!!

Hello!

I absolutely LOVE your frosting trick. This looks amazing and is a recipe right up my alley. Thank you for sharing something simple, too!
I just made this tonight (6/8/23). Super easy to make and it is so moist and delicious! This will be my go to chocolate cake from now on.
Just made this... AMAZING! So moist! Unbelievable the way the coffee taste disappears completely leaving such a rich chocolaty cake! THANK YOU!
This totally reminds me of my childhood! I love the ratio of frosting to cake :)
Made this for my Mom's birthday yesterday. I don't like coffee but stayed true to the recipe. This is So good!!! Everyone loved it. Thank you for your time and effort in giving us great recipes. I love your channel.
