I LOVED this cake, and thought I had hit the jackpot on the perfectly moist, deliciously dark, not too sweet chocolate cake. I substituted my own homemade plain whole yogurt for the buttermilk, and a 1/4 c less sugar. The espresso/strong coffee was a fabulous addition and gave it a rich flavor. Bravo! I don’t want to try another chocolate cake recipe. It’s perfect (I did make a German chocolate frosting recipe for it).

I love to bake and I’ve tried many chocolate cake recipes. This is my all-time favorite. Recently I’m trying to avoid seed oils and I’d like to know if I can substitute coconut oil for the canola oil or is there another seedless oil you recommend?

I love your dark chocolate buttercream frosting also.
Thank you.

So you have the flour
, sugar and cocoa powder in grams. I prefer to have my ingredients in weight

I have made this cake twice. I made it in a bundt cake pan and cooked it accordingly. its a super moist and rich cake. No real need for frosting we enjoy it without.

In reply to Amber.

I hate the taste of coffee, but I do use it in my chocolate cakes and no, you cannot taste it. If you’ve ever had a slice of chocolate cake at a good restaurant and it had a nice deep chocolate taste to it, then it had coffee in it. Almost every single restaurant with chocolate cake, has coffee in it. All the coffee does, is bring out the richness and depth of the chocolate.

I’d say up to 8 weeks if it is sealed properly.
