| What is your favorite chocolate cake recipe of all time? I am looking to try something new, and I have a craving for something rich and chocolate-y, and there are SO MANY recipes out there it is overwhelming. I am not the most sophisticated baker, but I persevere and eventually get it right, so it doesn't have to be the "easiest" recipe ever. |
| Ina garten's hands down. It has coffee mixed in; provides such great flavor and moisture without being too sweet. |

I would add that I don't care for the coffee addition to the frosting, so I just leave it out of that part. |

| The recipe on the back of the Hershey's dutch processed cocoa. And the frosting recipe that's on there is our favorite, too. |
| America's Test Litchen has an awesome chocolate sheet cake recipe with out of this world chocolate frosting. |
| Guiness cake |
| I'm partial to flourless chocolate cakes when looking for something decadent. |
+1. This one always gets rave reviews by kids & adults alike. For kids, I usually make cupcakes and frost with milk chocolate frosting or whipped creme. I also usually split the recipe into 1/3 or 2/3 - the original makes a huge cake. |
+1 It's so simple and very chocolately |
Yes to the cake. Icing no. I go with the chocolate icong from toba garret. You can find it on epicurious. |
