I went a bit overboard with this cake… Chocolate cake with butter cream & ganache! There's a reason… it's our wedding anniversary :) Baking a cake is not part of our anniversary tradition. It very much depends on my mood. Anyways, this year I thought I'll be a bit extravagant with the cake ;) After the cake was done, I was impatiently waiting for Jose to come home from office, so that we could cut it. Got the cake from the fridge, got the knife and was waiting to hear the wonderful things about the cake. Here it comes… “is this cake tilted?” Ohh yes… that's what he notices first, not the roses, not the hearts but the 'tilting' of the cake. But then… I was expecting this, after all some things never change ;)
People say marriage is one adventurous journey with both smooth drives and bumpy roads. We've also had our share of dramas and ups and downs. At times we drive each other crazy, at times we make each other laugh our hearts out and most importantly we make each other happy! That matters the most to me.
Now about the cake, it tasted great (if I should say so myself). I should say the chance of a moist chocolate cake slathered with butter cream & ganache going wrong, is almost next to impossible. It all tastes good, on their own, so you can imagine how it tastes when it's put together :) I got the cake recipe from my dearest friend & neighbor Sonia. This cake is super moist, I think my ultra moist chocolate cake has a strong competition now. Thanks a lot Sonia for sharing this wonderful recipe with me. The butter cream recipe is adapted from here. Dont get scared by the length of the recipe, its pretty simple to put together, trust me.
Hi, Maria. Thank you for your tasty recipes.
I have a doubt on cup measurement. When you mention One cup is it200 ml or 250 ml ?
Hi chechi
I have tried this cake recipe and first time in my life my cake turned out to be something I liked. Thanks for sharing this ??
Awww Linda, thank you so much! Really happy to hear that this recipe worked out well for you :)
Hi Maria
Can we use “melted butter” instead of oil for above recipe
Hi Shiji,
I havent tried it with melted butter yet. May be you can give it a try and see :)
Hi can i use 8 inch pan for the above qty mentioned in recipe
Hi,
For the above qty, you may need to use two 8 inch pan.
Hi,
Do you use the same butter cream recipe with cocoa powder for those pink roses and decoration.
Leena.
Reading your blog I was very tempted to make this recipe.Specially since you had waited so many years to get this recipe. It was my husbands birthday and I am always on the look out for a chocolate cake recipe which can beat my present recipe. This sure is a keeper. I only added a teaspoon of vanilla essence. It is delicious decadent and rich. Thank you so much. I love your blog. Keep blogging :)
Hi,
Thank you very much for the comment :) Btw, I think you’ve tried the Ultra Moist Chocolate Cake recipe https://mariasmenu.com/desserts/ultra-moist-chocolate-cake Because I waited 6 years for that recipe :). Anyways, I’m really happy that the cake came out well and you chose a special occasion to try out the recipe.
Cheers

Hi Sharon,
I guess you can :)
Hi Maria, I have read many of your recipes and especially baking blogs. Its awesome. I too tried this cake without any deviations either in measurement or in baking method, and the cake turned out very well. It was really a super moist chocolate cake i have ever made. Thanks a lot for sharing this recipe.
Hi Amala,
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback and for sharing the pic with me :) The cake looks lovely!! I’ll share it on MM FB page soon..
I’m really happy to know that the cake recipe turned out perfect for you..
Cheers
Maria
Picture of my cake
Thanks for sharing the pic Sibi, it looks nice :) I’ll share it on MM FB page one of these days..
Cheers
Maria
I made the cake and it came out awesome. Used 1.5 cups whole wheat and .25 all purpose flour and skipped brushing with sugar syrup to make it slightly healthy. It was still tasty and no one could tell the difference. One question though when you add boiling water to egg, wouldn’t it cook the egg? I added hot water bit by bit to rest of the liquids to avoid that.
Hi Sibi,
Thanks a lot Sibi for your comment :) Great to know that the cake works out well with whole wheat too..
I guess when you add milk and oil also with boiling water, it balances, not sure though..I’m very weak when it comes to scientific side of baking ;)
Cheers
Maria
Hi maria…i’m also from Kerala…specifically, Kottayam…currently settled in Visakhapatnam…i’m new to baking and love ur recipes…had tried quite a lot..i hav a doubt..whenever i bake cakes or cupcakes i always get a cracked surface on top :( plz help me..
Hi maria…i’m also from Kerala…specifically, Kottayam…currently settled in Visakhapatnam…i’m new to baking and love ur recipes…had tried quite a lot..i hav a doubt..whenever i bake cakes or cupcakes i always get a cracked surface on top :( plz help me..
Hi Harsha,
There are a few things that cause the cake to crack in the middle. Try baking at a lower temp, sometimes if the heat is high, cake tends to crack.
Also overmixing of the batter may cause the same thing. When baking a cake, try to wrap a wet towel around the cake tin (tie the towel using a pin). This ensures even baking of the cake and prevents the cake from cracking on top. I suggest using this wet towel, if you are using an electric oven and not a gas oven.
Also if you use a smaller size tin, cake tends to crack.
Hope this helps..
Cheers
Maria
thanks a lot maria..will definitely try this method and will let u knw..
Hi maria…i’m also from kerala…currently settled in vsakhapatnam with my husband and 9 month old baby girl…i’m new to baking and ur blog is helping me a lot…cheers and keep going :)
Hi Harsha,
Nice meeting you here :) Good to know that blog is helping you with baking.
Hope you get to try more recipes from here when time permits.
All the best and happy baking!
Cheers
Maria
Sharon, you can add eggs as is or just beat it lightly and add, both works.
Hi Sharon,
I hope by now you’ve tried the cake and I do hope it came out well.
However to answer your queries, I always use unsalted butter for baking, unless the recipe specifies otherwise
I think it’s always better to refrigerate black forest cake overnight for best results..
Cheers
Maria
hi can u tell me which sugar.thanks this is second time iam writing kindly reply me i have to make for my daughter’s 1st birthday.is it gud for black forest cake.
Hi Sharon,
I’ve used regular granulated sugar in this recipe to make cake. I guess you can use this cake as the base for black forest cake.
Wish your daughter a happy b’day in advance! Hope the cake comes out well for you, all the best!
Cheers
Maria
hi its urgrnt. after reading your blog thought of giving a try as we all r cake lovers & also our anniversary is on 29th of april,but iam struck with doubt what kind of sugar i should use,i mean caster or brown or white.kindly reply me.thanks
I made this cake and it was awesome. Pouring the sugar syrup made the cake so moist and sweet. I made this quantity on an 8 inch round pan. Cut into halves. Filled whipped cream frosting and mixed fruit jam.. Covered it with whipped cream and chocolate shavings. It was yum.. Thanks a lot… I recommend this recipe :)
Hi Jancy,
Thank you so much :) Yes, the sugar syrup keeps the cake moist. Your cake pic looks nice!
Wish you a happy new year!
Cheers

I tried this recipe and turned out well ! But the chocolate buttercream and the ganache turned out thick and hard.Though evry1 loved it! Especially my mother for whom i made this
Thanks Maria :)
Hi Sam,
Your cake looks awesome! Loved the pic..
Thanks for trying this recipe and also for sharing the pic. Yeah the buttercream and ganache tends to harden once you refrigerate it. Keep it at room temp for half an hour or so, this will soften it.
I’m really happy to know that your mom liked this.
Cheers
Maria
Thank You Maria for sharing amazing recipe! I want to make another cake for my twin sis ! Any suggestion for birthday cake?!

Hi Maria…this is a bit urgent. Do you think this cake can be made in a pressure cooker? If so, then can I follow the method in the link you have given elsewhere? Thanks
Hi Anuradha,
I havent baked in pressure cooker yet. But I think you can do so. Yes you can follow the method I’ve mentioned, may be you can google it for more detailed version.
I do hope it comes out well for you…
All the best and pls keep me posted, how it turns out, if you happen to try it.
Cheers
Maria
Hi…this is urgent. Would the same recipe work in the pressure cooker? Would you be able to tell me how it is done? Thanks!
Hi Maria, am your new follower and I made this cake yesterday it’s yummy. One question though, what can I do to keep my frosting soft even after setting just the way we buy cake from confectionery shops”
Thanks
Hi Maria, I tried this cake (without the icing) for my husband’s birthday.. and all of us enjoyed it thoroughly.. the cake was really awwwwwesome! never before, any of my cakes have turned out this moist! :) thanks a ton for sharing such a simple but superb recipe with all of us :)
Thank you so much Seena chechy :)
Hey Maria, am a new follower of your blog and I love the cake recipes. I tried this one and i must say its yummy. One question though, the butter icing was a bit firm after setting, what can I do to keep it soft even after setting just like we buy the cakes in the confectionery shop?
Thank you
Hi Tashma,
Thank you for trying out this recipe. If you are using just butter icing for this cake without ganache, you can leave it at room temp. In that case the cicing will be soft. But if you keep it in the fridge icing will harden a bit.
If you prefer a soft icing, you can use either cream cheese frosting or whipped cream frosting. Please check out the pineapple praline cake and carrot cupcake recipe on the blog to see the icing details.
Cheers
Maria
Hi Maria,
Please tell me how did you decorate the cake..Those flowers and hearts?
Hi Sam,
I used butter cream for the hearts and roses, I piped them.
Cheers
Maria
Ok…How did you get that pink colour???
Please tell me how did you get that pink colour??
Hi,
I added pink colour to the butter cream icing.
Cheers
Maria
Ok…Food colour?? ryt??
And you added pink colour at the end?
Yes and yes…
Ok thanks..Will try soon.!!!
Hi Maria
I want to make this cake but without using the coca powder. So basically I want a “white ” cake. Do I replace the 3/4 cup coca powder with flour or is there anything else need to do?
Thanks,
Shilpa
Hi Shilpa,
I havent tried it without cocoa powder, also when you remove the cocoa powder the other ing qty also changes.
If you want a moist white cake recipe, please check out the moist butter cake recipe posted here.
Hope it helps..

Hey Maria,
it would be just great if you could list the ingredients measurement in Metric…
Sherin
Hi Sherin,
The recipes that I use mostly have measurements in cup, that’s why. I’ll try my best to give the measurements in Metric, wherever possible.

Hi there!
Am really looking forward to trying out this one!
Just a query re: the above recipe though-…. do you mix the egg with boiling water ? – am getting these visions of cooked thready egg like the kind you have in soup…hard to picture that going into a cake.
Am just being a bit paranoid after my previous misadventure with the ultramoist chocolate cake- cos I did things a bit thoughtlessly once.
The same cake came out exceptionally well once I stuck to your recipe.
Hi Rekha,
I’m really sorry for the delayed reply. I wasnt keeping well…
Combine all the wet ingredients together as mentioned in the recipe, it works fine. I’ve made this cake more times than I could remember, following the method mentioned.
I do hope this cake comes out well for you..
All the best and happy baking :)
Cheers
Maria

Hi maria
Thanks a lot for ur recipe. Cake came out really well.
You are welcome :) Good to know that this recipe worked well for you.
Cheers
Maria
My cake cracked and wen i cut it into two..The upper layer of the cake broke into many bits..the icings all worked out good though..dunno where i went wrong:-(
Hi Keerti,
Did you let cake cool completely before cutting it? Also, I think the cake wasnt baked enough. Though I’ve specified baking time in the recipe, it always varies for each oven and also depending on the type of baking tin used.
Cheers
Maria
Hi Azra,
From your comment, I guess the cake tin you used was a bit small for the whole qty. In that case, it happens that the middle portion doesn’t get cooked. Try using a bigger tin, if you are baking it as a single cake. Also if the top gets baked faster and the middle remains uncooked, try covering the cake loosely with aluminium foil and continue baking.
Hope this helps :)
Cheers
Maria
Hi Maria
i m a gr8 fan of ur recipes…. now i want o try ur cakes….. plz do ans my questions since i m a beginner in baking. how do u get the top n bottom of cakes flat?? i hav bought an IFB MW Convection oven… i would like to bake a cake for mom’s b’day…..n also i cant gt the butter paper/parchment paper n any food stores here wat can i replace it with / is just dusting enough??
Hi Vidya,
Thank you! Please check out the below link, to see how to get a levelled cake:

If you cant get butter paper, make sure you grease the baking tin well with butter and dust it with some plain flour (maida).
Wish your mom a very happy b’day! Hope your cake comes out well. All the best!
hi maria, got hooked onto your site cause of my brother in law… i have a request… pls post some ways to decorate the cake… for example – how did u make those flowers…

Hi Rose,
Great to know that you like this space, my thanks to your brother in law :)
I’m not very good in decorating, that’s why you dont see such posts on the site. However, as and when I progress with it, you will be seeing the results here also..

hey maria can u tell me wat cocoa powder u r using??? wen i bake cakes i dont get dis dark colour. it s light brown in colour. can u suggest some names???
Hi Ann,
I used to use Hershey’s cocoa powder but recently I’ve started using a brand called Hintz.
Cheers
Maria
Hi Maria,
I am a huge fan of your blog and i’ve tried quite a lot of your recipes. They turn out perfect every time. I tried out this cake and its super yummy. Was a big hit with my daughter whoz very picky about cakes. I love your pineapple layered cake too, which is another family favourite. Thanx for a wonderful blog Maria….Keep up the good work!
Hi Ann,
Thanks a bunch dear for your wonderful feedback. I’m really thrilled to know that your daughter also liked the cake.

Tried this cake yesterday for my husband’s birthday…simply divine! One question though, you’ve mentioned salt in the butter cream preparation, but its not in the list of ingredients…can u clarify?
Thanks a lot Smitha :) Sorry for the confusion. The original recipe of buttercream had salt in it, but I didnt use it, so now I’ve removed it from the recipe. Hope it’s clear now..
What id the purpose of the sugar syrup and what would happen if I didn’t do it ?
Hi Marie,
Sugar syrup is used to moisten the cake. Since we are using ganache for icing, the cake has to be refrigerated.
Sugar syrup prevents the cake from becoming dry, during refrigeration.
Cheers
Maria
Maria, this chocolate cake is TERRIFIC!! moist and SO soft-Thankyoo :)

 I tried Moisture cake with buttercream & ganache. But Ganache I made become very loose. Is it necessary to add 1 cup hot water in cake mixture.what happened to my ganache prparatioPlease reply maria.
Hi Shylaja,
Yes its necessary to add 1 cup hot water in the cake batter.
Ganache will be loose when you make it initially. But it thickens after sometime. If it doesnt thicken even after 10-15 mins, just keep it in the fridge for a while. It thickens…
Cheers
Maria
Thank u Maria. very nice recipe.Thanks for the suggestions.
You are welcome dear :)

I usually bake with the mix you get from the store and this is the first time I made the cake from scratch OMG this cake was the most softest cake that I have ever made and it was so delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

hi marias,
 i am a huge fan of ur cooking and a regular reader of ur blog. thanks for all the wonderful recipes. Its my hubby b’day nd aftr 4 yrs for the first time i want to bake him a cake. i dont hav a oven so if i use the ready made cooker cake mix nd make it and then continue from ur icing part. will it b ok???
would luv to hear ur reply. thanks again nd keep up the wonderful work :)
Thanks a lot dear :) I’m thrilled to know that you are a regular visitor here. Btw, sorry for the delayed reply. I’m on holiday now, hence the delay.
I think it should be ok to do the icing on cooker cake. If the cake is dry, make sure you moisten it well with sugar syrup. Hope it comes out well and the birthday boy likes it. My b’day wishes to your husband.
Cheers
Maria
hai maria,
    Made this cake for Valentines day and it came out so well.thank u so much.i have made simple cakes before but this is the first time i am preparing one with cream,ganache etc..i was not that confident,but it was so yum.thank u so much dear..here is the pic of my cake…Â

hi Maria!
tried your cake yst…t’was great! love the rich chocolatey flavour!! i was wondering if I could make a vanilla cake with the choc cream & ganache for my 3 yr old’s b’day….what do you think?
Hi Limcy,
Thanks a lot for trying this cake dear! I think you can try for vanilla cake also. But make sure to moisten the cake well with the sugar syrup. Vanilla cake tends to become dry once kept in the fridge, unless it is well moistened.
Happy baking! Wish your little one a very happy b’day!
Please do let me know if you try the vanilla version, thanks.
Cheers
Maria
Maria, instaed of the vanilla cake, i decided to go in for a banana cake… with the cream & ganache as per your recipe…i followed your advice to moisten it well……it turned out great & friends appreciated it loads…. :)
Hi Limcy,
Great to know that your cake turned out well and you got many compliments :)
Cheers

Very Nice cake Maria. I coudn’t stop laughing at Jose’s comments, not because ur cake is tilted, but I would get the same response from saj too when I expect the best of things!LOL. It used to make me sad initially, but now I love such criticisms. Only they will point out our mistakes and only thru mistakes we can perfect things. What say Maria kutti? So always take it postively when wen dear hubby points out at little erors.
yep I know dear…. and he always likes to say something like that before saying good things, just to irritate me ;) I really dont mind it.
Wishes for a wonderful year ahead to both of you!Â
Beautiful cake Maria. I kept thinking its someones’s anniversary in Jan, it must have been yours…:)Â
Thanks Ancy dear :)
Happy Anniversary Maria….. and your cake looks too good!!!!!!!!
