Best Ever Chocolate Cake with Warm Chocolate Frosting Recipe

Best Ever Chocolate Cake with Warm Chocolate Frosting Recipe – Enjoy this irresistibly rich and creamy chocolate cake topped with a delicious fudgy warm chocolate frosting.


The cake calls for everyday ingredients every baker should have.

All purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, unsweetened cocoa powder, eggs, buttermilk, coffee and of course butter.

Growing up and living in Europe until a few years back, I know the best butter for baking is the high-fat content European-style and Finlandia® is my go-to butter when it comes to baking!

FINLANDIA® butter is a European-style butter preferred by most French pastry chefs for baking. Delicious and creamy with a very rich taste, Finlandia butter is made from pure fresh milk from Finnish family-owned farms.

Please note a package of Finlandia butter has 7oz and you’ll need 8oz. for the cake and 4 oz for the frosting!

For the frosting, you’ll need more Finlandia butter, some cocoa powder, milk and powder sugar.

Please keep in mind it’s very important to pour the warm frosting over the still warm cake and let it sit for a couple of hours.

Actually, I prefer to make the cake a day in advance, it’s simply the best!
