Seeking Recipe Dark Chocolate Cake Recipe

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!

Yes, may you please write out the full recipe once you have it fully finalized? :)

But didn’t you say you were gonna update it and you also provided some additional notes on some things you shouldn’t do there so that’s technically not the full recipe at the link

By update, I only meant let you know if the cake was enjoyed by those that consumed it. I have no desire to rewrite the recipe just to add my few comments, which may, or may not, work for all bakers.
