1. Absolute Best Moist Chocolate Cake

This chocolate cake is absolutely thee best we have ever had. It is so moist and rich, I never make anything else (unless I am short on time :) The frosting recipe included goes perfectly with this cake, but you can use any frosting you like. Try this once and you'll see why I call it The Only Chocolate Cake Recipe You'll Ever Need!! Adding 2/18/06: I want to note that I recently used sweetened whipped heavy cream with vanilla and it was just as fabulous as the frosting recipe listed, plus much easier. I also used hazelnut coffee in the cake and it added even more of a little extra something!

I collect cookbooks and cookie stamps/cutters and have a pretty big collection of both. I am also a fan of all things Amish, so I have quite a collection of things picked up in Reading, Lancaster and surrounding areas here in Pennsylvania.

I have 4 kids, who are the loves of my life and cooking for them and my husband keeps me on my toes! ;)

Also, if you make changes or substitutions, I'd love to see your suggestions and/or comments, but I'd appreciate no rating at all if it's not made as posted. Too many recipe reviews state margarine subbed for butter (if I list butter, it's REAL butter), different spices, low-fat ingredients, whole wheat flour instead of white, etc. The recipes will not work/taste as intended, so it's really not fair to rate them as such.

I'd also really appreciate it if you refrain from rating a recipe if you overcook or overbake it or it you don't refrigerate or store as listed.

***** A delicious recipe that was thoroughly enjoyed. It has excellent, detailed directions and is perfect as is. If a dish is especially easy, and I'm on the fence, I will give it 5* for ease even if it's very good instead of great. Something I will definitely make again.

Simple Moist Chocolate Cake (no Butter)

**** Excellent recipe but confusing directions that I will make again in my own less confusing way OR Very good recipe that I'll probably make again if I find the time!

** Recipe was edible but not really enjoyed and will not be made again. Work involved not a good trade-off for the end result.

* Not edible and probably an error in the recipe. I feel that I pick recipes with ingredients our family likes, so in my opinion, there's an error somewhere. If there's a chance I made the error, I won't rate the recipe. ;)Up until a few years ago, I made birthday cakes from a box. Betty Crocker's Devils Food mostly. Now, I'm saying birthday cakes, but anyone who knows me well, knows that I procrastibake. Hard. So if there is something pressing to do in the house (laundry, bookkeeping, paying bills, making beds), you can find me in the kitchen. Baking. Anything chocolate. My pantry is killer, and you would always be able to find a boxed cake mix in there. So there was a good chance you would find me baking a chocolate birthday cake any day of the week that ends in Y. (We legitimately have a whole bunch of birthdays coming up so I felt natural to tell you about the cake but also my baking problem).

One Pie Tree: The Best Ever Chocolate Cake!!

Fast forward a few years and I have found the most scrumptious, moist, delicious chocolate cake recipe in all the land! No joke. I have done it in two 9” round pans but they work great as cupcakes or in a 9x13 cake pan.

I have to be perfectly honest with you. I begged for this recipe from my sister-in-law, who got it from a friend in the church, who probably had it passed down on a well-used, butter-stained recipe card. So I can’t even really give true credit to anyone. I hope you absolutely love it as much as I do!
