This is a classic, plain chocolate cake where all the ingredients are placed in a bowl and beaten together. Unlike other cakes (like the White Chocolate Raspberry Birthday Cake) where you have to combine butter, dry ingredients, milk, and meringue all in a certain order, this is super easy.
I made this as my birthday cake in 2015. I’ve been making my own birthday cakes since I was about 13 years old, so this year was no different. The chocolate flavour of this cake is enhanced by adding a bit of instant coffee powder to the mix. The recipe says to frost with your choice of frosting; I made a cooked rum buttercream frosting and used that as both a filling and frosting.
This recipe can also be made into chocolate cupcakes; place liners in 2 dozen 3-inch muffin-pan cups and fill each half-full with the batter. Bake 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the centre of one comes out clean.
