It had to be so incredibly soft and moist that you wanted nothing more than to dig straight into the cake and eat it out of your hand. <\/p>\n<p>And for the first time in my life, I\u2019m proud to say that I tested this theory and I now only want to eat cake using this technique from here on out. <\/p>\n<p>With how soft and fudgy and jiggly (yes this cake is so moist it JIGGLES when you nudge it), I just could not resist. <\/p>\n<p>Plus, it took quite a bit of trial and error to get just the right ratios of fat to chocolate to flour to sugar and throughout my testing, I found that these were the most essential ingredients to achieving an incredibly moist chocolate cake: <\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Mayonnaise<\/strong> \u2013 Listed in many old fashioned recipes (and the famous Portillo\u2019s chocolate cake), mayonnaise is used to create tons of richness in chocolate cake. It\u2019s essentially just a mix of eggs, oil, and vinegar so it adds loads of protein and fat to the recipe. And don\u2019t worry, you can\u2019t taste it one bit! <\/li>\n<li><strong>Cornstarch<\/strong> \u2013 The first test I did with this recipe was with all cake flour because I wanted a really delicate cake, but I found it actually made the cake a bit TOO soft. So I then tried all purpose flour which didn\u2019t make the cake soft enough. The fix \u2013 I replaced some of the all purpose flour with cornstarch and it made the perfect texture. The cake is tender and spongey without being too soft and crumbly. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Vinegar<\/strong> \u2013 With a secret ingredient list of mayo, cornstarch, and vinegar I really don\u2019t see how anyone wouldn\u2019t want to try this cake! But trust me, all three work in harmony to create an incredibly delicious chocolate cake. And taking notes from ultra moist red velvet cake, a tablespoon of vinegar is added to further that soft texture. Vinegar slows the gluten formation to create a very tender cake.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-pin-description=\"This is the BEST chocolate recipe recipe!

It\u2019s the number one reason why most recipes fail. If there\u2019s too much flour, this cake will turn dry. If possible, measure the flour with a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3BXQSYQ\" class=\"tasty-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" data-tasty-links-no-disclosure=\"\">food scale<\/a>. Otherwise, to ensure the exact amount, gently spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off with a flat edge. If scooped directly into the flour container, the flour becomes packed down into the cup which could leave you with 1\/4 cup or more of added flour. The same goes for the cornstarch and cocoa powder!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cocoa powder<\/strong> \u2013 Speaking of, this recipe calls for regular unsweetened cocoa powder. Refrain from using dutch process as this can throw off the acidity of the cake and it may not rise properly. But if you prefer a richer color, I suggest swapping just 10-15 grams of the regular cocoa powder with dutch process. This will provide a deeper color without disrupting the batter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dark brown sugar<\/strong> \u2013 This is used for a reason so if you can help it, I suggest sticking with it. The extra molasses in dark brown sugar adds an added layer of moisture to this cake. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Hot coffee <\/strong>\u2013 When mixing in the coffee, make sure it\u2019s hot or at least warm. This heat will activate the cocoa powder to bring out even more chocolate flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mixing<\/strong> \u2013 When the dry ingredients are added to the batter, be cautious of how fast you\u2019re mixing. Only just just enough to bring the batter together. Otherwise, an over worked batter can lead to a sunken cake.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cake strips<\/strong> \u2013 This is optional, but they do help produce incredibly even cakes. Cake strips are pieces of fabric that are moistened and wrapped around the cake pans before baking. They prevent the oven heat from hitting the outside of the cakes too fast, resulting in more well-done edges and a soft inside. With cake strips, these cakes bake perfectly even and moist from the inside out. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Doneness<\/strong> \u2013 Pull the cakes when a toothpick in the center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs. The cakes should also appear slightly puffed in the center with somewhat bubbly surfaces. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/butternutbakeryblog.com\/moist-chocolate-cake\/?tp_image_id=11895\" data-pin-description=\"This is the BEST chocolate recipe recipe!

Not only does it make this chocolate cake look absolutely mouth watering, but it adds another layer of chocolate that\u2019s not too sweet and not too heavy. <\/p>\n<p>First, butter is mixed until smooth and then powdered sugar, salt, vanilla, and corn syrup are mixed in. The corn syrup is used to keep the frosting glossy so don\u2019t skip out on it!<\/p>\n<p>Off to the side, warm water is mixed with cocoa powder. This is then poured into the butter mixture. It will cause the frosting to turn a bit thin but don\u2019t be alarmed. This amount of liquid is intended to thin out the frosting as it helps create a very fudgy consistency. <\/p>\n<p>Then an entire bag of chocolate chips is melted down and mixed in. The frosting will thicken slightly after the chocolate is added, but it will end with a soft pudding consistency.<\/p>\n<p>To make this frosting sturdy and spreadable, chill it for about 45 minutes. Then give the frosting another good mix using a rubber spatula and test the consistency. If the frosting holds its shape in the bowl (like the picture in this post) then it\u2019s ready. If it\u2019s still too thin, chill until thickened. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/butternutbakeryblog.com\/moist-chocolate-cake\/?tp_image_id=11891\" data-pin-description=\"This is the BEST chocolate recipe recipe!

Grease the inside and line the bottom with parchment paper. If you have them, wrap the pans in damp cake strips and set aside.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-2\">In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-3\">In a measuring glass, add the milk and stir in the vinegar and vanilla. Set aside.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-4\">In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugars, oil, and mayo, followed by the eggs and egg yolk.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-5\">Mix in the milk mixture.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-6\">Pour in half of the dry ingredients and whisk to combine.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-7\">Pour in the hot coffee and whisk to combine, followed by the remaining dry ingredients. The batter should be very thin and liquid.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-8\">Evenly distribute the batter between the three pans.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-9\">Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-10\">Allow the cakes to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edges and turn out onto a cooling rack. Cool the cakes completely before frosting, either at room temperature or in the refrigerator.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>Chocolate Fudge Frosting<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-11\">Right when the cakes are done baking, make the frosting.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-12\">Using a hand or stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter until smooth.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-13\">Then mix in the powdered sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, and salt.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-14\">In a measuring glass, whisk together the warm water and cocoa powder.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-15\">Pour into the frosting and mix to combine, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-16\">Then pour in the melted chocolate and mix to fully combine.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-17\">The frosting should now be smooth and glossy but somewhat thin. To thicken, place the bowl in the refrigerator for about 45 minutes.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-18\">Once chilled, give the frosting a good mix by hand using a rubber spatula. If the frosting holds its shape inside the bowl, it\u2019s ready to go.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-19\">Before assembling, make sure the cake layers are completely cooled.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-20\">Level off the top of each cake layer if needed.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-21\">Lay one layer down on a cake turntable and spread a layer of frosting on top. Lay the next cake layer on top, repeating the process.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-22\">Once all the layers are stacked, place the cake in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to allow those layers to set. Once set, cover the entire outside of the cake with frosting.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-23\">Now slice and enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"tasty-recipes-other-details\" style=\"background-color: #FEF4F5 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"secondary-color.background-color\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"prep-time\"><span class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" style=\"color: #373e40 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-label-color.color\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" class=\"detail-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#tasty-recipes-icon-clock\"\/><\/svg>Prep Time:<\/span> <span style=\"color: #424040 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-value-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-prep-time\">40 minutes<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"additional-time\"><span class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" style=\"color: #373e40 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-label-color.color\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" class=\"detail-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#tasty-recipes-icon-clock\"\/><\/svg>Chill Time:<\/span> <span style=\"color: #424040 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-value-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-additional-time\">1 hour<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"cook-time\"><span class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" style=\"color: #373e40 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-label-color.color\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" class=\"detail-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#tasty-recipes-icon-clock\"\/><\/svg>Cook Time:<\/span> <span style=\"color: #424040 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-value-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-cook-time\">40 minutes<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"category\"><span class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" style=\"color: #373e40 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-label-color.color\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" class=\"detail-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#tasty-recipes-icon-folder\"\/><\/svg>Category:<\/span> <span style=\"color: #424040 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-value-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-category\">Dessert<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"method\"><span class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" style=\"color: #373e40 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-label-color.color\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" class=\"detail-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#tasty-recipes-icon-squares\"\/><\/svg>Method:<\/span> <span style=\"color: #424040 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-value-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-method\">Baking<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"cuisine\"><span class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" style=\"color: #373e40 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-label-color.color\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" class=\"detail-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#tasty-recipes-icon-flag\"\/><\/svg>Cuisine:<\/span> <span style=\"color: #424040 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-value-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-cuisine\">American<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tasty-recipes-plug\">Recipe Card powered by<a href=\"https:\/\/shareasale.com\/r.cfm?b=973044&amp;u=2011853&amp;m=69860&amp;urllink=&amp;afftrack=trattr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" alt=\"Tasty Recipes\" src=\"https:\/\/butternutbakeryblog.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/tasty-recipes\/assets\/images\/tasty-recipes-neutral.svg\" height=\"20\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><!-- [element-15623] --><\/p>\n<p><!-- [\/element-15623] --><!-- [element-15625] --><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group post-about is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized is-style-rounded\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/butternutbakeryblog.com\/moist-chocolate-cake\/?tp_image_id=14662\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14662\" style=\"width:215px\"\/><\/figure>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meet <em>Jenna<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019m the creator, baker, and photographer behind Butternut Bakery.
