Give me your favorite recipe for Super rich, super moist decadant chocolate cake.
I tried one out the other day and it was not a moist as I would like. Here is the recipe...
12 TBS unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pans
2 cups all-puprose flour, plus a little more for pans
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1 large whole egg (room temp)
1 large egg white (room temp)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups strong, hot coffee
Heat oven to 325 degrees. Butter two 8-inch-square or round baking pans. Line em with parchment paper, and butter again. Flour pans and set aside.
In the bowl combine all the ingredients except the hot coffee. Mix ingredients on low speed until combined, about 1 minute. Slowly add the coffee. Mix until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour into pans.
Bake until a cake tester inserted into the middle comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the pans to wire rack to cool. Turn out the cakes, and wrap them in plastic wrap until ready to use.
Frost with this...
24 ounces semisweet chocolate morsels
4 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon light corn syrup
Put chocolate and cream into a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat; stirring constantly with a heatproof rubber spatula, until thick, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in corn syrup. Transfer to a large, wide metal bowl. Refrigerate until frosting is cool enough to spread, about 2 hours, checking and stirring every 15 minutes. Use immediately.
Really good, but not as moist as I would like.
I went back and proof read and recipe is accurate! Try it out.
So, here is your chance to show off your skills! Thanks

Sounds like a good recipe to me. I don't use egg whites by themselves. I use the whole egg the more eggs you use the mositer the cake will be. Of course I wouldn't use over 3 eggs in a cake. Of course some people just don't use eggs like I do though.I don't know but I think eggs are a good source of food.

I know, the seperating them is something I usually don't do, but this is what the recipe called for. So I did it.

Great, in looking back, I found 2 typos in the recipe! They are just dumb ones that don't affect the recipe though!

Thanks for your response

Here is a rich chocolate cake that my brother in law claims to be awesome. He is a baker so i am hoping he is right.
Too Rich Chocolate Cake Recipe
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup dark chcolate, broken
3/4 cup superfine sugar
1 cup Hot espresso coffee or strong instant coffee
3/4 cup Self raising flour
2 Tb Cocoa powder
2 tsp Vanilla
2 eggs
Oven Temp~ 375° Baking Time~ 35 Min.
Pan Type~ 9 inch cake pan
Preheat oven, Spray the pan with non-stick vegetable spray.
Mix the butter, sugar, chocolate and coffee in a food processor until well blended: the sugar should be dissolved, the chocolate well melted, but it doesn't matter if there are still some solid chocolate pieces.
Add the flour, cocoa powder, vanilla and eggs, and process until smooth.
Put into prepared cake pan, and bake until done.
Serve frugally, it is very rich. If you are serving it as a dessert,
its richness should be lightened with a fruit sauce. Maybe served with orange or other flavor sorbet
