I made this for Valentine's Day. This is a half recipe of the cake - I baked it in two small 6-inch round cake pans. Baked for about 10 minutes. So cute! LOVE this recipe!!!
My son requested this cake for his 13th b-day. The photo isn't anything special, but the cake is the best we've ever had. It's been requested 3 times in the last 2 months!!!
Lisa thank you so much for your black magic cake recipe, I make my cousins wedding cake last May 5, 2012 everybody like it..this is the picture of te cake...
Black Magic Cake. Here's what's left of the 9X13 cake that I made yesterday...and It's just me and my husband here to eat it...and we haven't had our piece today yet as we've been gone most of the day. 4/26/12
Thanks Lisa so much for posting this recipe. I have made it three times already! It is fabulous! My fiance/friends/family also thank you!! (I had to share :)
Here's the Black Magic Cake I made today for my hubby's birthday. I made the mistake of adding too many mini chips and they melted and stuck to the pan a little but that's OK. It stayed together for the most part, so moist and delicious:)
Decided against layers and went with a bundt pan. I garnished with a little ganache and toasted coconut...OMG so delicious! Rave reviews! Have since shared this recipe with my sister and Mom. Thank you!
As many have said, I’ve been baking this cake for many years. My only difference is that I make peanut butter frosting. Oh. My. Word. Best chocolate cake ever!
I’ve made this cake multiple times in the last several years and while I don’t bake often, this is my go to chocolate cake recipe. It’s also the one my family asks for by name! I use freshly ground espresso for the coffee, and I also use cake flour and a sprinkle of cinnamon to add to the depth of flavor. Great quality cocoa is a MUST! I use Ghiradelli and the flavor is great! I don’t understand the issues other readers have had, but I personally believe that the quality of ingredients can make or break any recipe. As I said, I’m not a frequent baker, but I’ve never had a single issue with this cake!
