Anyone plagued with an insatiable sweet tooth has tried dozens of chocolate cake recipes and will assure you that no two chocolate cakes are exactly alike. From airy, bakery-style cakes to dense homemade pound cakes, the spectrum of tastes and textures associated with chocolate cakes is vast, and every cake lover has a different go-to recipe. While there are a million ways to make a chocolate cake, there is one essential quality that every cake lover can agree on: the best chocolate cake is a moist chocolate cake. We’re talking about the kind of rich, mash your fork down and the cake sticks to it moist. The kind of chocolate cake so rich in flavor and texture that the only other thing you could possibly need is a cold, tall glass of milk to wash it down.Author: Duke's Kitchen
