For my hubby's birthday last week, I baked this chocolate cake, which as per him and my kiddo, is the best chocolate cake I have ever baked. And I I totally agree with him. This is going to be my go-to recipe for a dense chocolate cake.
The recipe for this cake is from one of my favorite cake blogs Call me cupcake. The ingredients at her blog are in dl(decilitre). 1 dl = 0.42 cup. Below is the approximate conversion of ingredients in cups:
Chocolate cake Ingredients
•1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
•2 cup sugar
•1/2 cup cocoa powder
•1 tsp baking powder
•2 tsp baking soda
•2 large eggs
•1cup dl strong coffee
•1 cup buttermilk
•1/2 cup vegetable oil
•1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Chocolate fudge frosting
•300 grams butter at room temperature
•2 cup powdered sugar
•1/2 cocoa powder
•200 grams dark chocolate, chips or chopped
•1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
•1 vanilla bean or 1 tsp vanilla extract
Hop over to her blog here, to get the entire recipe. I cannot wait to make this cake again. The thick and creamy chocolate fudge frosting goes very well with the cake.
Happy Baking!

HI Tania,
I made the cake... it tastes wonderful. Will have to do a repeat next weekend on popular demand. :-)
Good you could make it. I was worried I did not send the conversions in time for Paarth's birthday.
Oh thank heavens you managed to convert this recipe! i've been struggling trying to figure out how to do so- thank you so much for sharing! the cake looks beautiful and i cannot wait to make it for my in-laws this weekend!
Thanks Michelle. I hope your cake turned out good.
