If you are looking to make a delicious birthday cake or just a lovely cake for dessert, well! this cake is for you. Homemade double chocolate cake is made with cocoa, coffee and chocolate chips for the rich chocolate flavours. This cake is so moist and it stays that way until it's all gone.
Sometimes you need a little chocolate thats gelt free 🙂Â
Quick and easy to make and so rewarding, after your cake cools down frosting it whip real whip cream, icing sugar and cocoa blend together and cover the cake. 🙂Â
My video don't show you how to make a sweetheart cake so I'm sharing these pictures with you for that reason. Making this cake is so easy and moist and tasty, first you bake this cake using a square pan and after it have cooled carve the corner in the shape of a heart. Then icing with homemade whip cream frosting and icing with cocoa.  Enjoy:)Â

Hi Bonita,
I have tried a number of your recipes and they turned out well. I made this double chocolate cake recipe and it turned out to be really heavy and dry. I don’t know what I did wrong.
Hi Brian, Thank you for your message and for making our cake recipe, sorry it didn’t turn out for you its a lovely cake. I guess a couple of things could have factored into the heaviness of the cake. One! Sometimes the flour got to do with that, this time in to year we have a lot of humidity and it would make the four damp and heavy. Two! Sifting it a few times before adding it to the recipe can help.
How did the batter look when you finished mixing everything together, at 5.08 on the video it shows what the batter should look like. The texture soft and air bubbles thoughout the mixture, filling light to start. I hope this helps if you try to make it again, have a wonderful day. 🙂 Bonita
