I don’t like chocolate. And I’m not super hip on chocolate cake either (remember… I’m a Vanilla Girl through and through, blah blah blah). But I know a good cake when I try it, and this one turns out to be a good cake! I’ve got a good thing going at my house because both my son and my husband are CRAZY about chocolate, so they are the perfect taste testers for me. And they totally tell me the truth if they don’t like something either, lol! Turns out, they thought this cake was the best chocolate cake ever!
I ended up using the White Frosting Recipe that I shared with you yesterday for this cake. A good amount is spread onto the first layer, then the other layer is laid on top. At this point, it looks like a Suzy Q– do you remember those that were made by Hostess back in the day??
I opted to do a crumb coat on this cake since the cake is tender and moist. Crumb coats are easy to do, and you do them so you don’t have little bits of chocolate crumb floating around on your frosted cake. All you do is spread a light layer of frosting all over the cake (as shown) and then refrigerate it until it’s kind of firm. Then you can take it out and use the rest of your frosting to cover the entire cake. And it will look totally perfect and white… with no floating chocolate crumbs – yay! And there is my beautiful, perfect, best, classic chocolate cake recipe. I couldn’t have been happier with the way it turned out- and my boys were just over the moon that I had chocolate cake in our kitchen! Sprinkles are, of course, optional. But it would make a pretty cute birthday cake, wouldn’t it?
