This is an amazing chocolate cake recipe thanks to Jennifer Pallian . I'm only using this post as a reminder to myself regarding a few variations to this awesome recipe. Ingredients 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour 2 cups granulated white sugar 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1 1/2 tsp baking soda 3/4 teaspoon salt 2 large eggs 1 cup buttermilk (or substitute by putting 1 tbsp white vinegar in a cup then filling the rest up with milk; let stand 5 minutes until thickened) 1/2 cup butter, melted 1 tbsp vanilla extract 1 cup hot coffee (or 2 tsp instant coffee in 1 cup boiling water) Preparation Preheat oven to 175 degrees C. Grease up a larger cake tin. I like to use a single larger spring form tin. The original recipe calls for the mix being split between two tins but I prefer to make two big batches to make one huge calorie fest cake. Seriously, it's rich!

Disclaimer: Don't read this blog if you want to make amazing cakes! I'm not a cake maker, just a Dad who likes to have a fun time making cakes with kids. I'm a Dad of 3 fantastic kids (two boys and a girl). As a family tradition the kids choose the theme of their birthday cake weeks before the big day and we spend a while planning the cake. It's a fun family exercise and they learn a lot. I've been fortunate to learn from many people so am happy to share my mistakes with others if it helps.
