chocolate velvet cake
(1 rating)
A friend asked me to make her daughter a chocolate cake for her baby shower. The cake decorations were to her specifications. My Buddy's White Velvet Cake was so good that I decided to tweak it to make the baby cake. It turned out fabulous and made a very moist and fine textured chocolate cake and rose beautifully to the occasion. This was easy to make and tasted absolutely chocolatey and delicious. There were over 50 people at the shower and many of them came up to me and asked me for the recipe. This cake would be great for any occasion paired with your favorite frosting.
