The BEST Chocolate Cake

Jump to Recipe

Rich, creamy, melt-in-your-mouth delicious, there are two surprise ingredients that make this the BEST chocolate cake recipe ever.

 

This is truly the BEST chocolate cake recipe, and it is because of two surprise ingredients – one surprise ingredient in the cake and one unlikely ingredient in the icing.

The secret ingredient in the cake? Vinegar. The secret ingredient in the icing? Greek yogurt.

This combo results in a rich, moist chocolate cake that is still light in texture, and a creamy, whipped chocolate icing that simply melts in your mouth.

This cake is often requested for birthdays and special occasions in our house, and I can tell you there are NEVER leftovers. Perfect for celebrations, holidays, or summer entertaining, this is definitely a recipe to save.

For added convenience, bake it in my favorite glass baking dishes with lids for an easy treat on the go!

Bon appetit!
