This recipe has been a favorite at my house for a number of years now. It’s a super easy cake to make. I often bake this Chocolate Glazed Cake when I need a dessert at the last minute for one occasion or another. The ingredients are all things that just might be in your pantry without having to go to the store (except maybe buttermilk). This cake always gets rave reviews.
Ingredients needed:
all purpose flour white sugar baking soda buttermilk egg vanilla extract salted butter unsweetened cocoa powder water powdered sugar

The glaze on this cake is amazing. If you’re one who loves frosting on cake, you’ll love this cake recipe. The glaze is heated on the stove, and it’s poured over the cake in the pan. It soaks into the cake a little bit, and it sets and becomes a nice, thick layer of frosting on top. It’s so good!!
Seriously, that glaze on top makes this cake amazing!
How to make buttermilk:
No buttermilk in the house? No problem! For the cake, add 1/2 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to a half cup measure. Add regular milk to fill up the half cup. Let it sit for 5 minutes, and you have your substitute for buttermilk! Do the same thing with the glaze. To make things easier, just combine 1 teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice with 6 tablespoons of milk.
This glazed chocolate cake has a tender, moist crumb. The glaze on top really brings it all together for a chocolate-lover’s dreamy dessert. Enjoy!
