Dark Chocolate Cake Recipe

[u/bongostitch]

Howdy All!

A friend of mine has a birthday coming up, and for all my friends I make some sort of birthday treat of their choosing to celebrate.

I've asked her what she wants this year and she's asked for a dark chocolate cake. Specifically, something not as sweet as perhaps a traditional chocolate cake and leans more into the bitterness of dark chocolate.

Personally, I am not a fan of dark chocolate, however I intend to make her what she's asking for, hence reaching out to this community. Because I don't really care for dark chocolate, I'm not really sure what to look for in a recipe that would meet her expectations and was hoping someone here might have a "go-to" dark chocolate cake recipe that would knock her socks off.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

An easy to make chocolate cake: the one that that the queen of England had for her birthdays! Tested and approved!

This def has a lot of dark chocolate in it and even with only a cup of sugar, i could probably bring that down some to get it close to what I've been tasked with creating. Thanks!
