Could you do 1.5 times the recipe for 3 8-inch layers, or would it be unstable/too high? Thank you!

This was delicious and beautiful on its own, but the addition/suggestion of a flower on top was so lovely!

Sarah
I’m obsessed with this chocolate cake. I used all buttermilk and only 1 cup white sugar. I used pink can guittard chocolate.
This cake is SO moist and just great to snack on without any frosting.

Thank you again

Hello Sarah,

I’m learning about The Chocolate Cake and wanted to double check that the processed cocoa is unsweetened, correct?

I’d like to use this recipe to make graduation party cupcakes. What adjustments would need to be made for cupcakes? Thanks!

That’s aid I would love to use this recipe but in cupcake form. How would I go about doing that?

Fabulous cake recipe. Made it for my grandson’s 10th birthday and it was a huge hit! Will save for sure.
