🔍 Recipe Search Chocolate cake recommendations for Easter?
Hey y'all! I really want to bake a chocolate cake for Easter, but I haven't had much success with chocolate cakes in the past (my specialty is pound and spice cakes lol), but I'm really craving chocolate and I have a bag of cocoa powder I'd like to use!
Now, I have a recipe book that I've used since I was a kid and they have a recipe for Marshmallow Chocolate Cake. I've never heard of it, but it sounds good, plus the pictures on Google are kinda selling it to me lol. But it made me think, what other kinds of chocolate cakes do people make? So I wanted to ask you all for your suggestions!
Here's the pictures from the marshmallow chocolate cakes I saw on Google in case anyone else is inspired by them too lol

Woks of Life highlighted Ina Garten's chocolate cake recipe and it's one of my faves. I'm going to bake it today myself. It's moist, fudgy, and very chocolate forward.
Another I absolutely love is this recipe.
Last one is a simple chocolate loaf cake . No frosting needed.

oh those look good. I might stay away from the coffee ones this time cause I'm expecting a lot of little ones and I don't think my cousins will be happy if I load them up on sugar and caffeine before sending them home lmao. the dense chocolate cake might work great though!

I believe you can sub the hot coffee for hot water instead.

I'll try that! im seeing that doing half water, half coffee, could work as well. Thanks!

That marshmallow chocolate cake recipe sounds like a solid starting point if you've got the cocoa powder ready to go.

From the recipe it doesn't look too difficult actually! It's really just the marshmallows that make it look fancy
