Notes
Making in different pans
Three 8” (20cm) pans: Cake will take several minutes longer to bake.
To make in two pans (instead of 3): Cakes will need to bake longer, about 30-35 minutes in 8” (20cm) round pans or slightly less time in 9” (23cm) pans.
Cocoa powder
Dark cocoa is recommended for best flavor, but you may substitute Dutch process or natural cocoa, instead.
Frosting
This recipe makes a lot of frosting so that you can sufficiently ice the cake and do the decorative border on top, as shown in photos. If you prefer less frosting, you can reduce this recipe in half. Some other good frostings for this cake include my:

chocolate cream cheese frosting: sugarspunrun.com/chocolate-cr...
white chocolate buttercream: • Top Your Cupcake With ...
Storing
Store at room temperature for up to 24 hours or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Cake tastes best at room temperature so I like to pull it out of the refrigerator at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Death by chocolate. Omg love it. Your baby is so cute. I'm glad you show the bloopers too. Will definitely try this out for Thanksgiving.

The cake was a success. I made it for Thanksgiving and Christmas. This will be my go-to 18:55 chocolate cake from now on. Thank you so much, Sam. God bless you and your precious family. ❤
That little taste tester is super cute 😍 thanks for sharing the recipe Sam, it looks amazing
Thank you so much! 😊
Chile I’m here for all of your cake recipes and they all come out perfect
I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed them all so much! 😊😊
Now that is my kind of cake! Love the beautiful dark layers! And as you said, there is no such thing as too much chocolate! 🙃
Thank you! I hope you love it! :)
I'm watching this at 8:30 in the morning and have decided that this cake would be the perfect breakfast dessert! I HAVE to make this because it looks delicious!
🤣🤣 Definitely a great breakfast option! Maybe not the most well rounded breakfast but I won’t judge! 🤣🤣😊
I like to use a plate on top of bowls instead of foil or plastic just to avoid all of the trash/disposables. Looks like a great chocolate lovers cake! Thanks.
That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing! :)
Grabs a cold glass of milk and waits then drools all over your kitchen counter. Sorry. :P~~~
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I. Agree about milk and drool
I just love when you bring your little guy in! Great recipe Sam. 😊
😊 Some times it's impossible to keep him away. 🤣
Oh girl! I’m dying while watching this 😭😭😭😭. Can’t wait to make this and watch my thighs grow 🤣🤣🤣!
🤣 I hope you love it! :)
I love the way you take us step by step and explain why you do things a certain way! I just subscribed ☺️. Your son is adorable! God bless your family
Thank you so much! I hope you love the channel. I look forward to hearing from you again. :)
You're welcome and I'm sure I will learn a lot from you.
❤❤❤LOVE THIS ALREADY!! A CHOCOHOLIC'S DREAM!!!! Thank you! Can't wait to try!! AWESOMENESS as always❤...wow, good to see Luke also!!!
Thank you so much! You’re really going to love it once you take a bite. 😊
Another one for the farmers market :-) I will be selling slices of this cake this weekend. I had another request that I’m going to try to adapt from one of your classic recipes. Someone wants a pumpkin, oatmeal cream pie. I know how much you love making pumpkin recipes lol.
🤣🤣 that would be interesting
Team too much chocolate reporting for duty. I would search your recipes to see if you have a yellow/white cake that rivals the moistness of this one. That is a beautiful cake!! Great job.
I do have a yellow cake that's going to be close, but it's tough to get as moist as the chocolate. :) sugarspunrun.com/best-yellow-cake-recipe/
I just signed in to let you know how much i appreciate your videos. Thank you so much. We love your recipes.
That is so kind of you! Thank you! Comments like these really make my day. 😊😊
Yum. I'm team coffee in my chocolate cakes so I'll go with that instead of the water. I'm also team butter!
I cannot wait to try this cake!! I will be making your 2nd run at a Spice Cake next week and last week my grandson and I made your gourmet chocolate chip cookies. They rocked our world. He asked for the recipe. He is 12 and stated a cookbook with your cookie recipe
That’s so awesome! I’m so glad to hear everyone has enjoyed everything so much! 😊
Now your stand mixer isn't just lonely, it's jealous for you used the blue hand mixer instead of just the black mixer. Don't be surprised if it holds it's electric until it short circuits it's self and dies! Your soooo meeaan!!! I gotta try this cake though for chocolate cake is my favorite too, but i will be using my stand mixer with my spring form pans lol!
🤣🤣🤣 I hope you love the cake! 😊
I'm sure I will. But am going to do a couple of little tweeks to it. Instead of brown sugar use an additional tablespoon of molasses and the coffee idea, use a tsp of instant coffee crystals to it instead... Show your stand mixer some love. Get it a couple of new attachments and use them to make it feel better 😂😂😂
I like the ganache dripping down the cake, it looks really nice
I love the out-takes and the recent sad zoom ins on the stand mixer
This triple chocolate cake looks really nice and delicious 😋
I am a professional cake decorator and air bubbles happens to the best of us. And your swirls were very nice. That is a professional opinion.
This will be our Sunday dessert! Thanks for all the tips!
I hope you love it! :)
My grandaughter always said sprinkles are important😊this cake looks amazing.
Sounds like she and Luke could be great friends! 🤣 I hope you love the cake! :)
I'm soooo excited to try this recipe!!!!!!!❤❤🎉🎉
I hope you love it! :)
YOU'RE SO TALENTED, THE CAKE LOOKS DELICIOUS
Thank you so much! :)
Thank you! It’s my birthday 🎉in two days - definitely will be making this cake!
Happy birthday!!! I hope you love the cake! 😊😊
Thanks sam
For this out class recipe of chocolate cake 😘
You're welcome! Enjoy! :)
Very nice recipie Sam! They looks amazing! Have a nice day and good week! 👍👏🍫🍫🍫
Thank you so much! :) You have a great week as well. :)
@@SugarSpunRun Thanks Sam! 🙂🙂🙂
If you put the flour, cocoa, and baking powder or soda hrough a sieve together you don't have to worry about lumps. For buttermilk I like to mix yogurt with milk. The recipe looks amazing! (Edit: don't try to put the sugar and salt through the sieve.)
Thanks for the tips! :)
Can you provide buttermilk recipe pls ? ❤
Well, I found your video and decided to give this a try. It came out amazing. Thanks for sharing your recipe. I wish I could show you a pic. I can't wait to try some of your others.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it so much! If you have an instagram you could tag me. 😊 @sugarspun_sam
I use leftover coffee in all my chocolate baked recipes especially brownies mmmm so good. Lots of chocoholics watching this video I'm sure me being one of them...also just subscribed to your channel 👍🍰
Welcome to the channel! I hope you love everything! 😊
Wow. That's the most delectable chocolate cake ever. My brother used to put peanut butter in his cake batter, but not enough to tell there was peanut butter in it. Made it moist. I notice you use brown sugar like I do. It's much more hearty and flavorful than regular white sugar. It really does make a difference. Wonderful recipe.
Thank you so much! 😊
@@SugarSpunRunhas
Thank the chocolate cake Sosa
Sam is making butter and buttermilk great again. I'm watching this at the beginning of a 14-hour work shift with no access to a kitchen. WHAT WAS I THINKING?! 😋🍰
🤣 Oh no! I guess you have plans for when you get home. 😉
He's adorable 🥰🥰 love this
😊 Thank you!
I can not wait to make this 🤩🤩
I hope you love it! :)
@@SugarSpunRun I’m sure we will! There is no recipe that I’ve made from you that we can say we really didn’t like it!
Super great
For the frosting can I use cocoa powder instead of melted chocolate? I can’t seem to melt chocolate without it seizing (and I saw your tutorial on how to melt chocolate, but there’s no microwave at my apartment, so I can’t use that method, unfortunately, I have to use the stove to melt it)
This is up in my alley 😅
Enjoy! 😊
I love the layer and the ginache in the middle of the cake
Very good 💯❤ thanks
Wow, this is exactly what I was looking for. Will have to make this soon, maybe sometime this week. Definitely using the coffee. And wondering if it would be too much if I used half buttermilk and half chocolate milk. I guess I will have to make 2 cakes and try it both ways!
I'm not sure how the chocolate milk will work. It has added sugars, and cocoa so it could change things. It also won't have the same depth of flavor as the buttermilk. I hope you enjoy the cake though. :)
@@SugarSpunRun Yes, going to try your recipe as is and then the buttermilk/chocolate milk combo. Not sure when. I'm supposed to not be consuming so much sugar...lol!

You can never have enough tools right?! :)

I made it for my sins 16 birthday . It was so good. I did put some blue bonette in it because I didn't have a lot of butter .
I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much! :)
That poor stand mixer😂😂 abiding its time to shine😄
🤣
Amazing 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you so much 😀
Your welcome Good morning
Love chocolate cake
@SugarSpunRun, this looks amazing! Due to anaphylactic allergy to eggs & gluten I may have to use a GF/vegan fudge cake recipe I know works but will use your chocolate butter cream & ganache recipe - unless you think substituting GF flour & "No Egg" replacer could work for the cake? I am making it for a dear friends birthday. Everything I cook has to be special diet so my daughter & I can join in. I'd appreciate your thoughts 😉😋
I haven't tried using GF flour and an egg replacer so it's just too hard for me to tell. :( If you do try it I would love to know how it turns out. It's always helpful for others if I have feedback on those substitutions. :)
Amazing cake!!! Can this cake be covered with fondant?
That should work. 😊
I made this and we ate it cold. It was so good!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Just curious if the batter is too thin to add some chocolate chips? Loving your videos!
I haven't tried it, but I think they would probably sink.
I thought so. Thanks!
This cake look yummy and delicious like a rainbow day 🌈 of new jersey sunshines 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘🐅🐅🐅🐅🐅🐅🐅
Enjoy! 😊
My hubby’s next Birthday cake! ❤🎉🍫
He's going to love it! :)
WOW CHOCOLATE CAKE AND STRAWBERRY CAKE OK LEMON JUICE AND B25 OK
They. Baby. Is. Such. Cute. Little
Baby
OMG you had me at chocolate 😍😍
You're going to love this one! :)
@@SugarSpunRun thanks for the reply ❤️
What is the purple spatula? I have a maroon wilton one that looks like it but I can no longer find it to buy a replacement. It is my favorite.
Here's the affiliate link to the one I got from Amazon. :) amzn.to/3QFgZbU
I’m defo going to make this for my sons birthdays. Can it be made as two layer cake ?
It can be made in either 2 8" or 2 9" pans. For 8 inch pans they will take 30-35 minutes to bake and a few minutes less for 9". :)
Looks delicious 💗 how much batter would I need to make for a 9x13 pan? Thanks
They are actually thinner layers of cake so this recipe should fit in a 9 x 13. :)
The cake is so good baked it today 😊😊
Aww… Luke’s agreeable - not too much chocolate. I concur:)
No such thing as too much chocolate! :)
Please could you make the bakery. Style chocolate chip muffins, instead of 6 cupcakes , could you make 12 cupcakes please
Sure thing. Just double the recipe. 😊
I laugh every time you focus in on the stand mixer😂😂😂😂 it’s feeling some type of way😂😂😂😂. I love your channel. You recipes are always simple enough for a non baker to make🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much! :)
Do you have a double chocolate cookie with oreos crumbs in the mix plus Oreo and white choco chips??? Can you pls make one 🤤🤤🤤
I have a double chocolate cookie but if you put oreos in them I would worry they may spread too much. sugarspunrun.com/double-chocolate-chip-cookies/
If I want to use your chocolate cream cheese frosting would I need to make a double batch?
I would, just to make sure you have enough. You might have a little left over, but better too much than not enough.
This cake is going to be incredible with that frosting, yum!
Can I use regular milk?
I would not recommend it but I do have a buttermilk substitute you can use. 😊 sugarspunrun.com/easy-buttermilk-substitute/
Beautiful cake! This is my favorite kind of cake. The cake that has "too much chocolate" No such thing is what I say! :P
I hope you love it! :)
Sam this one made my day! Chocolate is my kryptonite!! Btw, all leftover ganache/frosting belongs to Luke! Just so you know..
🤣🤣🤣 he certainly thinks so!
Can i replace brown sugar with white ?
You will lose some moisture and flavor, but it should still turn out.
Thanks
Hi can I make this eggless pls suggest
Unfortunately I haven't tried making it eggless so I can't say for sure how to do it or how it would work. :(
@@SugarSpunRun thank you so much for your prompt reply ❤️
The buttermilk I get in stores has a much lower fat content than mock buttermilk made with whole-fat milk. I prefer the mock buttermilk for that reason.
Why not use cake flour instead of AP flour?
Great recipe!
You might want to hide your Hand Mixers because I have a bad feeling that jealous Stand Mixer might become (mother from “Psycho”) and come after them! 😂
🤣🤣
Uh oh. I think I'll have to make this soon. Been on the hunt for my perfect chocolate cake recipe and your recipes have been solid so far so, gotta add it to the list!
When you were putting the frosting and ganache between the layers and making a bull's eye, you said you liked more frosting than ganache in between the cake layers. I'm curious to know if you've tested with a full layer of frosting (might need to be thinner than usual) and then add an also full (yet thin) layer of ganache on the frosting (with a frosting dam around, of course)? I know you test your recipes lots and want to know before I make it if you've tried what I'm suggesting and perhaps concluded that it was too much? Somehow I'd be tempted to put full layers of both...
I have not tried making it that way, but you could certainly give it a shot if you'd like. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. :)
