\"\"<\/a>This is a never fail recipe for chocolate cake.\u00a0 I’ve used it for cupcakes and regular cakes and it’s never failed to deliver a tasty moist product.\u00a0 It’s an easy recipe and you don’t need a mixer to make the batter.\u00a0 I always double the recipe and get either 24 cupcakes or 2 8 inch cakes.<\/p>\n

If I want to really have some fun with the cupcakes, I’ll make a Swiss meringue buttercream, however my standard American buttercream works as well.<\/p>\n

The cake recipe comes from Food.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Swiss meringue buttercream comes from the Preppy Kitchen site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Preppy Kitchen also has a recipe for chocolate cupcakes that I have tried.\u00a0 It’s also good, but has a few more ingredients.\u00a0 One change I have made to the wacky cake recipe is to use 1.5 cups of water and 0.5 cup coffee.\u00a0 It helps bring out the chocolate flavour.<\/p>\n

Here’s a video from Preppy Kitchen making the Swiss buttercream.<\/p>\n
