All Time Favorite Chocolate Cake

I can't fathom someone who would hate chocolate. What is there not to like, right? In any forms, when we say chocolate it is no doubt good. Last Valentines Day, I wanted to celebrate it by impressing my mother. Basically that what's in my mind when I decided to make A Chocolate Cake. So for the second time and on the second month of the year, I baked my second cake. Just in case you missed it, I did my first bake of cake in Red Velvet. 

Baking a Chocolate Cake for me is a lot tricky than others. Maybe because I have high standards on my chocolate cake that it carried over on what I plan to do. If you will ask what's my definition of a good one here's the list.

• delicately moist
• slightly bitter but not overpowering taste of chocolate
• melts in your mouth softness/velvety

 I set these three as guidelines also of what I have in mind. Well at least somewhat similar to this because it's just my second time of baking cakes. Though I have a few let's say "tricks" playing in my head to make this kinda look original even though I just relied on an easy recipe online. Again, what I always use as a basis when looking for a recipe is the availability of my ingredients. What is that I have around the kitchen. I also bear in mind those who are thinking of baking a chocolate cake but are intimidated of what they see on Google. Upon searching, finally I found my  Chocolate Cake Recipe. Now, there's a substitute in case you don't want to put just a plain hot water. Coffee!  Some of you might wonder why but in this case if you want to enhance the flavor of Chocolate in your Chocolate Cake, Coffee is the answer. So I put a tablespoon in my 1 cup of boiling water. Why boiling water? This effect is made to bloom the cocoa and release the flavor. Imagine now how this cake will turn out? UH-HMMM... The recipe calls for two round pans, since I only have one I made use of the rectangular instead for the second layer.

Let's now go with the icing. Since we are an all time fan of Chocolat and I always love their ganache icing and I still have a block of chocolate sitting in my fridge... It's time to pah-ty!
