× Jump to RecipeJump to VideoThis chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting is the easiest cake you can make at home. Whether you want to make a birthday cake or serve a beautiful dessert during a holiday – this cake recipe has got you covered!Jump to:Preheat the oven to 160C (320F) and line the bottom and sides of three 6" (15cm) round cake pans with parchment paper. Or you can butter and flour the sides of the cake pans.Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.&nbsp;Beat the butter with sugar and vanilla for 5 minutes on medium-high until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy.&nbsp;Add the oil and beat until fully incorporated. After, add the melted chocolate and beat again.Add eggs one at a time and beat until the mixture looks homogenous and emulsified.Add the dry ingredients in three parts – alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients – while beating on low until a homogenous and silky consistency is reached.Divide the batter evenly between the pans and bake for 27-30 minutes.Let the cakes cool down in the pans for 5 minutes. Then, transfer onto a cooling rack to cool down completely.&nbsp;Beat all frosting ingredients on medium to a homogenous consistency. Scrape the sides of the bowl and beat until thick and fluffy.Use right away or store the cream, covered with plastic wrap so it touches the cream, in the fridge until needed.Place the first cake layer on a plate and add ¼ of the cream on top. Spread evenly and place the second layer on top. Repeat the process.Place the last cake layer and spread cream on the top and sides of the cake as a crumb coat. Refrigerate the cake for 2 hours.&nbsp;Apply the final frosting and decorate it to your taste. I went for a semi-naked look and used the rest of the cream for piping decorations on top of the cake. Refrigerate for 1 hour and serve.This recipe is for a 6” (15cm) cake, but it is easy to make a larger cake if you measure all your ingredients using a kitchen scale, not cups!Let’s say you want to bake a 7” (18cm) cake. All you need to do is multiply each ingredient measurement by 1.4. So, if for a 6” cake you need 200g of flour, for a 7” cake you will need 200 x 1.4 = 280g of flour. One large egg without a shell will be approximately 50g. This recipe calls for 2 eggs which are 100g in total. Multiply 100 by 1.4, and you will know that you need 140g of eggs to make a 7” cake.&nbsp;For an 8” cake, you will need to multiply each ingredient measurement by 1.8, and for a 9” cake, you will need to multiply each ingredient measurement by 2.4.As for the cream, it’s a matter of taste how much you want to use in between the cake layers and how much you want to use to frost and decorate the cake. You will need to adjust the amount of cream to your personal needs, keeping in mind the desired taste and consistency.How to store chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting? Store the assembled cake in a cake box or covered with plastic wrap on a plate in the fridge for 4 days. Can you freeze this cake? You can’t freeze this cake after assembling it, but you can freeze the cake layers instead. Wrap them in plastic wrap and a piece of foil and freeze for 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and assemble your chocolate cake. Can you make the chocolate cake layers in advance? Yes, you can bake the sponge cakes in advance and refrigerate them for 4 days before assembling the cake. Make sure to wrap them in plastic wrap before refrigerating.Chocolate ice creamDouble chocolate cookiesEasy chocolate cupcakesThis chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting is the easiest cake you can make at home.
