Hot coffee – When mixing in the coffee, make sure it’s hot or at least warm.The extra molasses in dark brown sugar adds an added layer of moisture to this cake. Dark brown sugar – This is used for a reason so if you can help it, I suggest sticking with it.This will provide a deeper color without disrupting the batter.
But if you prefer a richer color, I suggest swapping just 10-15 grams of the regular cocoa powder with dutch process. Refrain from using dutch process as this can throw off the acidity of the cake and it may not rise properly.

It’s essentially just a mix of eggs, oil, and vinegar so it adds loads of protein and fat to the recipe. Mayonnaise – Listed in many old fashioned recipes (and the famous Portillo’s chocolate cake), mayonnaise is used to create tons of richness in chocolate cake.

Plus, it took quite a bit of trial and error to get just the right ratios of fat to chocolate to flour to sugar and throughout my testing, I found that these were the most essential ingredients to achieving an incredibly moist chocolate cake: With how soft and fudgy and jiggly (yes this cake is so moist it JIGGLES when you nudge it), I just could not resist. It had to be so incredibly soft and moist that you wanted nothing more than to dig straight into the cake and eat it out of your hand.Īnd for the first time in my life, I’m proud to say that I tested this theory and I now only want to eat cake using this technique from here on out.
