There’s a reason this Classic Chocolate Cake has stood the test of time—it’s deeply chocolatey, incredibly moist, and unfussy enough for weeknights yet elegant enough for birthdays. No fancy ingredients, no complicated steps—just one bowl, pantry staples, and a method that guarantees tender crumbs and a velvety crumb every single time.
Topped with a simple chocolate buttercream or dusted with powdered sugar, it’s the kind of cake that feels like home.
