Claire Saffitz's chocolate cake
This weekend I made chocolate cake with a recipe from Claire Saffitz (video and written recipe)
Cake ingredients
I only had two cake pans, which led to a big dome on top of the cakes after baking that was cut away
Chopped chocolate for frosting
Finished cake on a cake stand
The cake was excellent, so I have a new go-to recipe for chocolate cake. The chocolate frosting was a bit too rich to me, so I would probably go with a lighter vanilla frosting next time. I shared this cake with family, friends, coworkers, and a friend recovering from the hospital. It was gone within 24 hours!
