I have been writing recipes on this website for a really long time. From at least 2007...I know! AGES. And in all that time I really hadn't noticed that there really wasn't a basic chocolate cake recipe on here. WOW. What was going on. Me...who loves cake and chocolate in almost equal amounts. This cake is the remedy to that error and we apologise and think that you should immediately make it as you have missed out for so many years.

We have plenty of chocolate cake recipes on here, but none as versatile and simple and moist as this one. Here are just a few others if this one doesn't ring your bell. But we know it will.

4  

Add flour mix and brewed coffee and combine 5 sec/Butterfly/speed 3. Scrape and repeat.
