“Moist and fluffy chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting! A go-to tried and true recipe!”
Visual learner? Watch me make this homemade chocolate cake from start to finish!
This. Is. THE. Chocolate. Cake.
Yep. The only one you need.
The king daddy of all king daddies.
The man-catcher.
The…
Ok, you get the point right?
Move over cafeteria lady and Principal Trenchpult! This cake is taking center stage, minus the sweat she added to her’s. (Remember that chocolate cake on Matilda? Please tell me you’ve seen that adorable movie)
Anyway, goodness yall, I do apologize for taking so long to get this chocolate cake to you. I usually only make it for special occasions (usually last minute), but this week my husband requested it out of the blue.
Perfect timing because I’ve been getting so many requests for a chocolate cake. It was about time I gave this chocolate poke cake and devils food cake some company.
What Makes This Chocolate Cake EPIC
1. The Buttermilk: Chocolate cake NEEDS buttermilk. It’s a match made in heaven and creates a very subtle tang that compliments the chocolate like a boss!
2. The Coffee: Coffee really bumps up the flavor of chocolate. You won’t be able to taste it in the cake, and it helps create a moister texture as well.
3. Oil: As much as I love butter, chocolate cake is best with oil. It keeps it moist and light.
4. Brown Sugar: Brown sugar belongs in chocolate cake. Not only does it add to the moisture but it works well for flavor.
5. Dark cocoa powder: Using dark unsweetened cocoa powder creates that dark and lovely color
This chocolate cake is everything a chocolate cake needs to be. Moist, dark, fluffy, and oh so chocolatey! It’s incredible the first day but seems to get even better (and darker) the next day.
It’s full of everything good, holy and fattening! I hope you aren’t dieting this time of year. I mean….that sounds like cruel and unusual punishment anyway with all these yummy holidays back to back!
There’s Thanksgiving and all that comfort food, Christmas with all those decadent treats and then New Years is right around the corner with those tantalizing cocktails. Mercy!
More power to ya if you’re on a diet sister! But I’ll leave this photo riiiiiiight here.
Not trying to bribe you to cheat on your diet or anything just saying. Look at it!! Just look at it!!
The chocolate buttercream frosting is EVERYTHING on this cake! It’s full of dark cocoa powder, butter, sugar, and heavy whipping cream. Yeah, you already know what time it is right?
Pass the milk!

this cake looks good but there one thing i would omit and thats the coffee cuz I dont it and I can tell theres a different texture to the cake. i tried cupcakes that someone else made and did not like at all cuz I knew there was something different
The best chocolate cake I’ve ever made! I always add coffee to my chocolate cakes. It brings out the chocolate flavor but you do not taste the coffee! I’ve made her Red Velvet cakes more times than I can count. It’s similar to this. Most moist cake ever!!
By far the best chocolate cake ever! I’ve been make this recipe for several years now and I get request for it. So good⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Been making this for years and everyone loves it
This chocolate cake is absolutely delicious! Moist, flavorful, and not too sweet. Even the frosting came out perfect. Will definitely be making it again.
Incredible cake recipe, thank you! Made this for thanksgiving and it is literally the best cake I have made in my life!!!!!! Used a different frosting but the crumb part was THE BEST. So moist and perfectly flavored
You can google grams to cups, ounces, or whatever.
It’s not a simple gram to cup conversion. It’s also the method of filling the cup with flour. If the flour is scooped directly from the container the total weight of the flour will be higher than if the flour was spooned and sprinkled into the cup. The higher amount of flour may affect the end results. Using weight instead of cups for measurements will give a greater consistency to your baking
Hi,Can you PLEASE reply with the grams-ingredients . I looked throughout ALL of your comments and you haven’t replied with that info… Thanks, love your videos,your recipes are great. Looks like maybe you just need to interact with your followers.
There are tons of free online conversion tools available. Just use Google.
One cup is 125 grams dry ingredient.
I made this cake for Father’s Day and also as an IG post for the company I work for. I didn’t do the buttercream but covered it with chocolate ganache. The cake, though, is so moist! It’s not sweet and the chocolate taste is awesome.
Thank you for your wonderful cake recipes! They’re easy to follow and always turn out great!
I will try it next weekend for my son’s birthday. I hope it turns out good
Thank you so much for sharing your recipes I tried the butter pecan cake big hit with my family thank you
I made this cake and it was so incredibly moist even though I got sidetracked and forgot to put in one of the eggs. I decreased the amt of frosting because I hate having leftover frosting. I was surprised that this cake does not have an over powering chocolate taste. I love it.
Does this work in a 9×13?
What kind of cocoa is it? The Dutch processed or the regular one?
thanks
Really the BEST chocolate cake ever! This is my family’s favorite recipe for almost two years now.
This cake is my absolute go-to for chocolate cakes! I have adapted it for cupcakes, 4″, 6″ and 8″ cakes with no problem. Would I be able to use this recipe for a half sheet 12″x18″ or do I need to double it?
How did you adapt for the 6inch cake?
Did you just put the batter in to cupcakes pans and baked them?
The title says it all, and so do the words of my friends and family who love this cake recipe every time I make it. IT IS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. soft and delicate and tender yet decadent without feeling like you want to vomit after (because you will eat “too much”). honestly the best I’ve ever made. LOVE THIS RECIPE
Wow! Made this cake and it was the BOMB! So incredibly rich and moist. Your cakes are truly the BEST!
Hands down this is THE BEST CHOCOLATE CAKE EVER!!!! I’ve tried so many recipes but I was looking for a cake that’s moist with just the right chewiness, really soft but not too crumbly. I was a bit doubtful at first how will end up with too much sugar in it. It was just perfect!!! This is now my GO TO recipe for chocolate cake!! Thank you so much for sharing this!
This cake is so delicious!!! I am not a big chocolate cake fan but this cake is soo moist and good. It is a very large cake…so if you are making this…be ready!!! This cake will definately be added to the rotation of family favorites. Thanks for the recipe.
Seriously the best chocolate cake I’ve made and I’ve tried a lot of chocolate cake recipes. Making again today for my boyfriend’s birthday tomorrow. It really is even better the next day. Thank you!
Hi, you make baking seem so fun! I love chocolate cake, but can I make half the recipe as this is a lot of cake for me. Have you ever tried making half the recipe and if so, did it come out as nice as rhe full recipe? Thanks.
I made this cake on Saturday, its now Tuesday and still fantastic, probably better than the first day. If you like chocolate, absolutely moist cake then THIS is the recipe for you. I followed the recipe **except ** I did NOT add chocolate chips on top after I frosted it. The recipe calls for baking about 25 min. My advice is, they are done between 25 and 32 minutes. It will go quick between the 28 to 32 minute mark. So after 25 min don’t take your eyes off those cakes. Remember they will still look moist in the centers (one of my cakes actually fell a bit)but they will continue to cook a bit in the pan after they are out of the oven. Do NOT overbake them. Do not omit any of the main ingredients of the cake. The buttermilk and the coffee are a MUST in this. Thank you for posting this recipe. I’ve made the red velvet before and it was wonderful, I’m moving on to the carrot cake next. My son is away at college and I’ve sent him so many pictures of this chocolate cake, he’s like “ok, mom, I get it, you like this cake!” Thanks Monique!!
HOLY COW!!! Made this fabulous cake on a crave and a whim to beat the Pandemic Blues. A real day brightener. So moist there wasn’t a crumb left. This is THE BEST to have around to pick at IF its around after the initial servings. A real keeper. Stay well in 2021.
I made this cake and it replaces my other go-to recipes now. I appreciate the explanations of why you used certain ingredients. I needed those logical explanations.
Use the best cocoa powder you can find. I use Rodelle. As I and my family are not fond of overly sweet frosting, I made a simple ganache frosting of milk and semisweet chocolate melted with warm whipping cream. Let that then chill and then whip till fluffy. No powdered sugar. Thank you again.
Can I freeze this cake before frosting to use at a later date?
Thank you for the recipe started making this in December 2019 for Chistmas and it became my family’s favourite. I loved that the recipe’s ingredients are affordable and easy to find in Zimbabwe yet they bring out such an awesome cake. It’s surely the only chocolate cake you’ll ever need.
Can I use lite buttermilk instead of regular buttermilk?
I made this for Christmas 2020 and it was a huge hit!!! I didn’t have enough cake pans so I made a Bundt cake and 18 cupcakes from this recipe.
I made this cake today and it was so gooood. My boyfriend complimented twice on it. Girl, thank you so much. The chocolate buttercream is too die for. Already thinking about the next slice tomorrow.
If i wanted to make this in to cupcakes how long would I bake for?
MY ABSOLUTE GO-TO CHOCOLATE CAKE RECIPE…FROSTING AND ALL!!! I made it twice and it was perfect every time. The frosting….soooo bad for you but soo good. I recently lost 70lbs in four months and after one small slice of this cake, my diet went out the window and straight to He77. Monique, if this cake recipe is included in your cookbook, please give away free gym memberships with every purchase 🙂 (*LOL!!!*). One of these days I’m going to try both your Carrot and Lemon Velvet Cake recipes…stay tuned!!!!
I loved your video so much that I was literally drooling! HAD to make the cake which was FANTASTIC & truly tooo good! Thx!! And the icing was so bad for me, as u said, but it’s was toooo tooo good! Great recipe! Thanks a ton!
If i wanted to make this in to cupcakes how long would I bake for?
18 mins
What would be the time frame if we made this recipe into cupcakes?
This is the PERFECT chocolate cake!!! So moist, and fluffy, and delicious. It is my favorite. Thank you for the recipe.
I have made this cake twice now and it has been a hit every time!! I have not attempted the chocolate frosting for it yet but I can’t wait to try it! Thank you for sharing this amazing and easy recipe!!
Hi Blair…I made this cake twice…the first time with a different frosting…the cake was perfect, the frosting was an absolute disaster. The second time I made it with Monique’s frosting and IT WAS OFF THE CHARTS!!! Even though the cake had alot of moving parts to mix it together and bake, the frosting was easy…a few simple ingredients in one bowl…you would swear a professional pastry chef was in the kitchen.
This will always be my recipe for life girrrrrl the best !!!!!
Hi Diva I enjoyed watching your videos, I
I was wondering if anyone has had luck freezing the cake layers?
I really needed an epic chocolate cake for a dark chocolate lover and this was perfect. The cake definitely tasted best a couple of days after making it. It was delicious warmed with ice cream.
Great cake! I enjoyed making it… my family gave me a 10.
Hello Diva,
I made this wonderful chocolate cake for my Dads bday on May 3rd. It was my first devil’s food cake…I’m usually a pound cake girl. It was super moist, rich and decadent. Only change was used half butter, half cream cheese in frosting. My family flipped for it. Thank you
The best Chocolate Cake that I have ever eaten. It was so moist and full of favor
I can’t wait ti try this recipe for Valentines Day! I’ve tried many recipes on your site and I have had success with ALL of them. I think the fact that you post videos helps a lot. From one Monique to another, thanks for sharing!
Can I use regular cocoa powder if I don’t have dark cocoa?
Yes you can still comes out perfect!
This is the most Divine, decadent amazing chocolate cake. My family named it “Chocolate Heaven Cake”. Everyone fights for the last piece. Thank you for sharing a recipe that is now a family favorite.
This was hands down the best chocolate cake I have ever had! Made this recipe three times thus far and as I type this comment , i have a delicious slice of this cake infront of me waiting to be devoured. You’re a boss of a cook ,girl ! Your recipes are amazing! From your brownies , to your buttermilk biscuits, fried chicken to your cakes – you are my go to person for the best recipes . Blessings to you and your family hun ! And thank you for all your hard work . ❤️❤️❤️
Omg this cake is amazing . I normally use Dunkin Hines and add instant pudding. This is my new go to chocolate cake recipe.
Just made this. I had to cook the cakes much longer but the recipe really is one of the best. Dense but not mud, double high five on the buttermilk, and the coffee is a great addition.
Can I use regular unsweetened cocoa powder instead of the dark unsweetened cocoa powder?
Can i use cake flour instead of all purpose and baking powder..and how long should I bake it in a bundt cake pan
Can I use a mixture of light and dark cocoa in this recipe? I just made cupcakes with this recipe and they are delicious.
Yes you can!
I am getting ready to make this for my future mother-in-law’s birthday. I have a few questions that I hope you can answer:)
1. I only have one round 9in spring pan. Should I just cut the recipe in half or can I cook each layer separately?
2. The pan is non-stick, is that okay to use or will I need to adjust the temperature of the oven?
3. If I can’t use the pan for any of the reasons above, what changes do I need to make to put the batter in a 9×13?
Hi, love your recipes and vlogs….
Can we substitute plain hot water instead of coffee…?
Can I use a 9×13 pan?
Hi, I have used this recipe and it is delicious. I wanted to know if I can use this same recipe for cupcakes? And approximately how may would this recipe make? THANK YOU
Hi, this cake looks delicious. I wanted to ask if this recipe could be halved?
This cake was amazing! It held for 5 days and was still moist and delicious.
Girl! SMH, this cake is sooooo darn delicious!
I didn’t have 3 round pans so I baked it in one 13×9 inch pan. Of course, doing it this way caused it to take a bit longer to bake. And, I’m sorry to anyone reading this, but I can’t remember how long it actually took. I just monitored it every few minutes to ensure doneness.
My cake is so moist, rich, chocolate-y and heavenly…even on today; the second day. I had to share this recipe with my cousins and my sisters.
Thanks for another winning recipe!
I’ve been a cake decorator for forty years. I don’t like cake for the obvious reasons.
But, my husband who usually doesn’t care for sweets, asked me to bake a cake from scratch. I found this recipe and tried it. This is the best damn cake I have ever tasted. I made it for a holiday dinner and my family started arguing over who got to take the left overs home. Needless to say, nobody ate any cake they all took portions home. It was the best. Thank you
I have made many chocolate cakes but finally found the one that gives me that Matilda-esque feeling. So chocolatey and moist! It has been an absolutely hit with everyone that tastes it. Many saying best chocolate cake they’ve ever eaten and I completely agree! The coffee, buttermilk, and brown sugar just makes this cake sing with flavor and moisture! Deserves 6 stars!
This was my first attempt at a chocolate cake ever. It was a hit at my Thanksgiving dinner. Super moist, rich flavor and the icing was soooooo good. I am one that usually scraps the icing off but This icing?!? I have no words for how amazing this cake is. It may show up for Christmas again.
How long did you bake for? I had to bake for nearly 45 mins! Not sure if i did something wrong but when I opened the oven after the prescribed 25 mins I had soup!
Does anyone know if the heavy cream for frosting should also be at room temperature?
no. I am a cake decorator and made this cake and icing for a couple of years now. Keep heavy cream cold.
Does this recipe make good cupcakes? If so, what would be the bake time?
Monique, I don’t write reviews but I do have a blog saved to draft and consider myself a great southern cook from Nashville. Let me tell you-you rule!! Your video are the exact right pace, what you say is excellent and it is a great resource to checking how you are mixing things and it also shows the finished product. You are doing it so much better than most on the web. I hope to see you on one of the food challenges one day soon! I am making your chocolate cake and mini pumpkin pies today. I do my own version of YOUR dressing each year for thanksgiving. Keep up the good cooking!
.
I made this on Sunday for my pastor’s birthday. I kept cutting and serving it until is was all gone! Everyone, absolutely everyone, loved it!! It is rich and moist with a really good crumb. When paired with the luscious dark chocolate buttercream, it just takes it over the top. This will be my new “go to” for dark chocolate cake. I baked it in two 10 inch pans which are 3 inches deep and adjusted the cooking time accordingly.
I have tried two other recipes and wasn’t happy with the final result. I found this recipe and tested it out today. OMG it’s so moist and good!!!! It will definitely be a hit for Thanksgiving.
This recipe is so grate i try to make this its so perfect and delicious i love the recipe
OMG. I made this and not a crumb left! Sooo moist. I did run out of confectioners sugar after 4 cups so I added 1 cup of granulated. And yes. Next time I will cut off the tops of the cakes. Will make frosting the sides easier and the chocolate chips will be uniform on the top. I used double the amount of heavy cream also.
Hi how many tsp coffee mix to hot water?
Thanks
Is this batter enough for 9×13 in Pyrex pan.
My son asked for a chocolate cake for his birthday so I plan to make this Friday night! I love this site, Monique you are the da bomb with these recipes!
Do you level off all three cakes?
Hi please can I cover it with fondant. Thanks
Hello! Thank you for this I look forward to trying it out. But I have two questions… the first one is can I make this with regular milk? I live in France and buttermilk I cannot find anywhere.
The second can I make this with butter instead of oil?
Thank you for the help! I really can’t wait to try this. =)
What would the ingredients be for just a one layer cake? I don’t really need to make a three layer one. And I would like to try and make this.
Have you ever made this in 3 8in pans?
Thanks!
HI!! Oh My GOODNESS this looks so good!!! I cannot wait to try this recipe!! I have been looking for THE chocolate cake and have not found it yet. I tried your vanilla cake recipe and its absolutely hands down the BEST flavor. mine ALWAYS sinks every time I make it though so thats really sad, but the flavor is on POINT! I can’t wait to try this one!!
Hi Can you make a dream cake in can divas version I’m sure its gonna be so good.
Nice
Your recipes are always amazing! Thank you for this wonderful cake for my dad’s birthday.
This cake was delicious! Moist cake with a whole lots deliciousness.
I made this recipe this weekend. It is hands down the best chocolate cake I ever made and ever had. Everyone loved it. It was so easy to make and so moist. I did only make 2/3rd of the icing recipe since you mentioned in the video that it makes a lot and that was the perfect amount. I still had a bit left over. This will be my go to chocolate cake recipe. No other recipe exist now outside of this one! Thank you
This cake was very moist! I made it for my daughter’s 8th birthday. I used vanilla buttercream icing and layered it with the yellow cake recipe. Very very good and easy to follow.
Wow, you were not joking. This is the best, most moist cake I’ve ever tasted. I was tasked with making a wedding cake and to use a recipe completely from scratch. This one will have people talking. My coworkers were thrilled to be the test tasters. Thank you for sharing it with us. I also tried your red velvet cake recipe, although I could not figure out the love affair the south has with this type of cake. Now I understand. When it is made right, it’s incredible and moist. I have one suggestion. In the recipe for the red velvet you let us know that the batter would be thin, so I was expecting that. I found the batter for this recipe to also be a little on the thin side, so I would add that info here as well. The cakes turned out amazing, thanks again.
I forgot to add the salt to the batter
I’m pregnant and was craving a moist chocolate cake! And OMG! I swear to you, this completely satisfied my craving. You’re right about this will be the only chocolate cake recipe I will ever need and want! It was so chocolatey and delicious! My tastebuds were in chocolate heaven! Thank you so much for this recipe! This is and always will be my go-to recipe. I will be making it again and again!
Just wanted to say I just finished making this cake yesterday for a family get together & everyone really raved over how moist and rich it was. The only think I altered was mixing Hershey’s dark coca with the regular mild chocolate, but I think it still turned out awesome. Thanks so much!
This recipe sounds amazingly delicious…can’t wait to try it! I want to make a sheet cake using a 12″X 18″ pan for a church dinner. Should doubling the recipe be sufficient?
Thank you!
Monique I love you. My whole family loves you! So we are making this cake on Saturday for my sister’s birthday party on Sunday. Could we put it in the fridge for about 24 hours? Or will that dry it out? Does the frosting need to be refrigerated? Thank you!!
The bake time on this for me did not work. My cake was still really jiggly at 35 min oven on 325. I turned up to 350 and finished it. Delicious flavor and texture amazing.
I made this cake and it was amazing!! The best cake I have ever made!! I mean out of any kind of cake period this is by far my favorite go to cake (sorry to my carrot cake which is also delicious) hands down!!! I just printed off your gramma’s pound cake and gonna give that a try, I’m sure it will be amazing. Thanks for the great recipes…
Thanks for the recipe,ill tray to make one.
This cake is awesome….and the next day, Lord have mercy!!!.
Can I use cake flour Swans Down?
it is my co-workers birthday tomorrow and I want to make this but she does not like coffee or anything coffee flavored are you sure you cannot taste a coffee in this recipe because it looks delicious and I want to make it
Hello, how much batter would go into a 10 in pan?
Would this work in 3 8in pans with 2 in sides?
This looks amazing and really wanna try it!
Oh my God!!! This looks so moist and decadent…. Thanks for the recipe. I will be trying this cake this weekend!!!
Hello! This recipe looks amazing but I have a question ??♀️ Can this cake be baked on a bundt pan? And also would it be bad if I could cut down on the confectioners sugar? Thank you ?
It can but you may have leftover batter.
Hi Can you pls make a dream cake in can Divas version please
I made this cake for co-workers. It was the best cake. So moist and so much chocolate flavor. The frosting was like eating pudding when I made it. This will be my go to frosting. Thank you for your wonderful recipes.
I made this cake! It was delightful, the frosting was heavenly, the only thing is that after two days it seemed to dry out. But other than that it was like eating a Ding Dong. My husband devoured it..Thanks again!
Mo I am a long time follower. Hunty this cake right here this cake right here. Unbelievable excellence. I have maid it 3 times since you put it on the site. I made 3 layer the 1st time for Christmas.

I made this for my son’s 16th birthday. This was absolutely the best chocolate cake ever. Thanks Monique!!
This is the real deal chocolate cake!!! Definitely needs some milk or ice cream lol. The chocolate buttercream icing is the bomb! Thank you for this recipe.
Shalom,
I came across your youtube channel in my recommendations. My husband will love this Chocolate Cake recipe! I can’t tell you how fond I am of your website….. your Yeast Rolls video was divine; can’t wait to try that recipe out. You are indeed inspiring, thanks so much (thawadah rabah)!!!
Blessings Sister,
Ahzarah
Oooohh honey. You are so wrong for this cake. I made this for Christmas and when I tell you it is to DIE for…I mean it. I wish I could upload a pic for you to see this masterpiece of a cake. And moist…girrrrrl bye! It is simply perfection. Hands down the best chocolate cake I’ve ever had!
So I tried this. However, I didn’t take your advice about not overtaking. At 25 minutes the stick wasn’t coming out clean and the middle was a little wiggly. Anyway, I put them back in for about 10 minutes and they were totally destroyed. After following your blog for about 10 years, you would think I know better. You’ve never steered me wrong.
I will try again for New Years.
Try 32 minutes. You will have a few crumbs on the toothpick and that’s fine. It will continue to cook once you take it out to cool. Learned that from Monique on one of her other cake videos. Trust me, it will be perfect. I have made three of these and they all came out great. I’m still being asked to make them again.
Let me just say, your cake recipes are ?! The banana cake is so scrumptious, but this triple chocolate, OMG! I’ve made both over the last 2 days. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for always hooking us up. Merry Christmas? Monique.
Trying this for Xmas. Love you and this site Monique. Wishing you and your family a Happy Holiday season and blessed New Year. Can’t wait for the official cookbook lol.
Are Australian measurements n Indian measurements same?
Oh my goodness! This cake looks amazing! It reminds me of a red velvet cake recipe you shared several years ago. I have made it many times to rave reviews, including entering it into a Kansas City Barbecue Cookoff. I won second place! I’m going to make your chocolate cake for my family for Christmas this year. I can hardly wait to taste it’s chocolatey goodness!
Hi ! It looks pretty similar to the devils food cake recipe . Are they the same ?
Hey diva!!!
Ive been a true follower for some time and ur carrot cake has made me very popular in my in laws!!! I have been craving this choc cake for months and have searched far and wide for a recipe! The only thing is its way too big for just me and hubby! Can u condense this recipe for me for two people?! I tried doing it myself for your carrot cake recipe and it was a disaster! Plz shrink this recipe for two person cake id be so grateful! I wanted to make it for xmas since itll just be the two of us this yr! Thanks in advance!
Can this be made in a 9×13 pan?
