It was so yummy, have been souring milk just to make this cake if I don't have any! Now made it many times since I discovered it during the pandemic. This cake is fast and easy to make and does freeze very well unfrosted. Try to freeze half so it doesn't get eaten all at once, but honestly, it's back out of the freezer within a week or two... So moist that it's delicious unfrosted (when I feel lazy and want a quick treat) and also delicious with the frosting you've provided here too (when I feel fancy). Always a winner!

Barely had enough frosting for 9 x12 cake so will double it next time also. Liked the idea of cinnamon. Will think about that. Moist and light. Definitely is better with this icing.Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17397875777589797699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-28997590740096744912020-04-25T10:28:18.362+01:002020-04-25T10:28:18.362+01:00So pleased that you were happy with this cake Mel!...So pleased that you were happy with this cake Mel!

My newly adult son hasn't eaten cake in YEARS, says he doesn't like the texture. I stumbled across this recipe on Pinterest, and loved your photo, background and just your site in general. Our freezer died and I think the fridge isn't too far behind. I had about 1/4 a gallon of whole milk that soured on me. I doubled the recipe, omitted the water and just used an additional 1/2 cup of the milk instead and my son as well as his siblings absolutely LOVED the cake. I am so grateful to have not only found a wonderfully received chocolate cake, but to also have avoided wasting food. Bless you.

One question for you: I find the cake to be simultaneously very moist and very crumbly. Does yours behave similarly? I'm trying to resolve it and don't have the time or money to go all "lab test kitchen" to puzzle it out.
