This week I'm sharing my updated rich chocolate cake recipe! It's made up of velvety soft cake layers that are packed with chocolate flavor, which are paired with an indulgent chocolate fudge frosting. I’ve recently updated this recipe (April 2024), as some readers were having issues with the cake layers sinking in. I experimented with different ways to add a little more structure to the cake layers to help prevent this issue, and finally settled on an updated recipe that had additional structure, but still had the same great flavor and texture to the original. I know there are many of you who LOVE the original version, so I have kept the original quantities in the notes section of the recipe card (towards the bottom of the blog post). I want to assure you though, that the updated version (in my opinion) is even better than the original, so don’t be afraid to give it a go 😀 Get the full written recipe here: cakesbymk.com/recipe/rich-chocolate-cake/ Enjoy!
Hello Alhamdulillah, your videos and recipes are amazing. I tend to make big cakes if I double the recipe how do I adjust the cooking time. Please help .
Why not just trust the process and yourself first. And don't be disheartened by any mistakes. Mistakes made during baking are easily fixed with frosting etc. Goodluck. @@thecatsister3040
Honest to God, not only is she an absolute angel for sharing her recipes -- and for the amount of time, work, ingredients, money and knowledge that goes into this process....but her recipes are NO FAIL! They are fabulous every time. I've searched for a good vanilla cake recipe for years. YEARS. I have two that I like but once they cool, they aren't that perfect crumb, tender cake. So I tried MK's for the first time. 1000/10. KEEPER! Please protect this beautiful lady at all costs because she is an absolute life safer and blessing to all who bake! xoxox
Aww thank you so so much for your wonderful comment! So so happy to hear you loved the vanilla cake recipe :D my channel would be nothing without all you amazing people trying my recipes so THANK YOU! ❤️❤️
Hi. If you do not own a bakery, you should. We need more good bakeries like years ago and nice people who share like you. Your recipes are just awesome. You have a great day young lady and thank you.
Aww thank you so much for your wonderful message :D so so so happy so many of you are enjoying the recipes ❤️. No bakery yet, but who knows maybe in the future :D
I have just baked this cake, reduced the sugar by 30% (we prefer less sweet cake). It turned out very well!!! It is the best chocolate cake i have bake so far, & it is so easy! Will definitely bake it over again & again. The cake itself is already a big HIT! Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe! Love it! Greetings fr Malaysia ❤
Aww yay! :D So so happy to hear you all loved it and what an honor that it's the best chocolate cake you've baked so far! If you manage to find a spare minute I'd be so so grateful if you can kindly leave a review on my blog - it really helps my content out :D thank you so much again for trying the recipe and much love from NZ to Malaysia :)
I just made this cake for my daughter's birthday today. The cake turned out delicious and it was very easy to make. Plus it did not need the mixer and not much equipment. For the prep I used only 2 bowls and a spatula and the matrix tsp. Am happy because there are less dishes to wash! I also reduced the amount of sugar to 250g (instead of 300g) yet it still tasted a bit sweet for my tongue. It took only about 30min to bake the cake with my oven. And also I melted the butter and chocolate in the oven while the oven was preheated (did not use the microwave ). I just want to say thank you for sharing and teaching this great recipe. Btw this is another Malaysian sending you 💕
Awww yay! So so happy to hear you loved them both :D if you manage to find a spare minute I'd be so so grateful if you can kindly leave a review on my blog - it really helps my content out :D thank you so much again for trying the recipe!
I made your cake today and followed everything exactly and oh My! The best chocolate cake ever. And I have made my share of chocolate cake recipes but this one takes "the cake".
Aww yay! So so happy to hear you enjoyed it :D I would be so so grateful if you can kindly leave a review on my blog (if you haven't already), it really helps my content out :D thank you so so much for trying the recipe :)
the older version of this recipe is just a big hit but i just did not like it sinking in centre but i am so so excited to now try this new one. you are such an angel to share your amazing recipes. amd the fudge frosting is honestly out of this world
This was the best chocolate cake I have ever made! So chocolatey and not too sweet. I put less sugar in the cake as well as one 50% and one 72% chocolate bar. I also only needed 1/2 or 3/4 of the frosting, which was delicious! This recipe is a keeper! Thanks so much for sharing!
Mk using butter is the game changer. It is perfect in every way. Can't tell you this is the best chocolate cake. I have been making mine with little brown sugar, and it is truly a delightful chocolate cake for all chocolate cake lovers.
Definitely this chocolate cake is THE BEST. I made your original recipe last year and never made any other cake😍. Now this recipe has become an inseparable part of our life,I can't thank you enough. ZazakAllah!
Your recipies are perfect...left baking few yers ago coz my cakes would always fail..but when i tried ur recipe they came out perfect...and started my baking career.anytime i have to bake a cke..i typr cakes by mk ..and the best sponge of ur is the light bakery sponge both vanilla and chocolate..since i started baking using ur recipies .now my family prefers my cakes instead of the bakery..they say mine taste much more delicious and fresh and soft than bakery..thank you so much..lots of love...keeping u in my prayers❤
I made this cake (using the old version) just two days ago and it was a huge hit! It was my sister’s birthday and being a chocolate lover, she was in heaven! Thanks MK 🥰
I just made this a couple of hours ago and it’s delicious! I nibbled a little bit to try it but I have gallstones so I can’t eat anything with too much fat. That rules out this cake sadly but I gave it to my sister. Her husband is going to LOVE this. Thank you, your videos are always so helpful and informative. You seem like such a nice genuine person and I am looking forward to trying more recipes 😊
I've made this twice now, it's absolutely delicious, moist but thick. The second time i doubled the quantity for a party cake and it worked just as well. Surprisingly had some leftover a few days later and still tasted perfect
Thank you so much! Chocolate cake is my favorite dessert ever, and it Is even hard to find a good one at bakeries. I tried to bake cakes before without success, thinking that baking sweet things is not my thing at all! But this time that I found this video I decided to try again. WOW, THE RESULTS ARE SO GOOD! I put less sugar because the chocolate I used already had sugar. 3 days eating my favorite cake thanks to you! I really wish you success in your projects because you are a mastermind. For everyone who thinks they cannot bake a good cake please follow this recipe and methodology. Is 100% Accurate and totally delicious!
@@hajirahrahmat Original recipe for x1/2says (150 g) white granulated sugar, and I used 50g instead. 3 times less and was still very sweet because the chocolate I used ( You can google it: SPAR Natur*pur Bio-Schokolade zum Kochen & Backen) already had a lot of sugar.
Wow! Honestly, where have you been all this time. All your recipes that I have tried until now, including this amazong chocolate cake recipe, are keepers! Thank you for sharing all those recipes!!! ❤️
Your channel is the number one I go to for any tutorials. You explain so well and also provide substitutes. I used to avoid recipes that had buttermilk until I saw your video on it, and honestly, im so grateful. Anytime I want to bake, I search 'cakes by MK'. They always turn out so well. In this recipe, did you use evaporated milk or just regular milk? I want to make this today.
Update: I ended up baking it. I used regular milk. It was so delicious. I usually don't bake the basics like vanilla, chocolate, etc . I feel they're so easy to fail as basic as they are. I'd rather bake red velvet or carrot cake. But I've used her vanilla recipe just a few days ago, and everyone loved it (they don't like vanilla cake), and today I made the chocolate. Chocolate is my least favourite flavor. But this one is the one guys. Best chocolate cake I've ever had. You're literally a blessing to the baking community, MK.
HI MK, I would like to know if you had any recommendations on storing the cake? How long would it last in room temperature/ fridge? I have just one suggestion, is it possible if you can give us like recommendations on how to store the cake and how long it'll stay fresh in the fridge or on the counter after you give us a taste test? Thank you, kindly.😊

Awww ❤️ thanks for sharing this lovely recipe. I have two questions: 1. What if I use the electric beater for egg and sugar mix? 2. Why do we need hot water?( I am asking g because most of the cake recipe I saw i didn’t see they use water)
Thanks alot your cakes are the best ,this Is my second time making this One and its delicious.i also tried the Oreo One and that also came out very well . You the best thanks a million❤
Omg I can't forget that this recipe was made by me and it was soooooooooooo delightful 🥹 it creates an unforgettable memory in my life ❤and it was very appreciated ✨️THANK YOU SOO MUCH ♥️✨️✨️
Hello MK! Thank you for sharing all of your tips and recipes. Truly a gifted individual. Here in the states we have what’s called a yellow cake basically vanilla cake but with extra egg yolks. Not sure if you have it in New Zealand but do you plan on doing any yellow cake recipes?
love your recipes! so easy to understand and so so delicious, ive been recommending your videos to my friends who are looking into baking because i know your recipes wont disappoint. would u ever make a chocolate mousse that can be used for frosting? (unless you already have, in which case i need to check that out).
Thank you so much for your kind message and for recommending my videos to others :D it really means a lot! I haven't shared a chocolate mousse/frosting recipe just yet but will keep that in mind for future videos :) Thank you so much again for all the love and support!
Thanks so much :D you could reduce the sugar slightly, no more than a 1/4 cup (50g) though otherwise this will affect the texture of the cake :) enjoy!
Just made this cake over the weekend. The icing is good and the flavor of the cake is good. However, my cake came out of my convection oven extremely dry. I cooked it at 38 min as instructed. I also used the same size pans (magic line brand) idk why it was so dry but I couldn't save it. I followed the directions and along with the video. Any suggestions? I'm willing to give it another try.

Hi 👋 I’m wondering, what kind of salt do you use? Iodized, sea salt, kosher, etc.
Yay you are finally doing the flavors or flavor that I love are like that's great and better
Hi, and salam..do you think I can make this into 2 tier cake
Hello Alhamdulillah, your videos and recipes are amazing.

Exactly how much sugar in cups did you use?
How many cups of sugar did you use?
I just made this cake for my daughter's birthday today. The cake turned out delicious and it was very easy to make. Plus it did not need the mixer and not much equipment. For the prep I used only 2 bowls and a spatula and the matrix tsp. Am happy because there are less dishes to wash! I also reduced the amount of sugar to 250g (instead of 300g) yet it still tasted a bit sweet for my tongue. It took only about 30min to bake the cake with my oven. And also I melted the butter and chocolate in the oven while the oven was preheated (did not use the microwave ). I just want to say thank you for sharing and teaching this great recipe.

how did the recipe go? 😊
This video was a highlight of my day. Thanks for sharing!
I tried this recipe last night and it’s the BEST 💕💕
Awww ❤️ thanks for sharing this lovely recipe.
I have two questions:
1. What if I use the electric beater for egg and sugar mix?
2. Why do we need hot water?( I am asking g because most of the cake recipe I saw i didn’t see they use water)
Thank you. Happy Eid MK

Hello MK! Thank you for sharing all of your tips and recipes. Truly a gifted individual. Here in the states we have what’s called a yellow cake basically vanilla cake but with extra egg yolks. Not sure if you have it in New Zealand but do you plan on doing any yellow cake recipes?
Φαίνεται τοσο πολυ αφράτο σοκολατένιο νόστιμο γλυκό ❤❤❤❤

Your recipe is super hit👏👏👏
love your recipes! so easy to understand and so so delicious, ive been recommending your videos to my friends who are looking into baking because i know your recipes wont disappoint. would u ever make a chocolate mousse that can be used for frosting? (unless you already have, in which case i need to check that out).
Thank you so much for your kind message and for recommending my videos to others :D it really means a lot! I haven't shared a chocolate mousse/frosting recipe just yet but will keep that in mind for future videos :)
Thank you so much again for all the love and support!
You are simply the best❤
Great recipe!! Kudos to you for the effort you put into these videos
Thanks so much :D you could reduce the sugar slightly, no more than a 1/4 cup (50g) though otherwise this will affect the texture of the cake :) enjoy!
Hi ☺️ Any tips on using this recipe for cupcakes ? Thanks for all of your awesome recipes and tips! I have learned a lot ❤
Just made this cake over the weekend. The icing is good and the flavor of the cake is good. However, my cake came out of my convection oven extremely dry. I cooked it at 38 min as instructed. I also used the same size pans (magic line brand) idk why it was so dry but I couldn't save it. I followed the directions and along with the video. Any suggestions? I'm willing to give it another try.
Just found your channel when I saw your less sweet buttercream video. Cannot wait to try this!
