Recipe for Danish Chocolate Cake

homemade chocolate cake Very Moist and Easy to Bake, recipe

This chocolate cake is very easy and quick to bake, and it is so moist and delicious. I am sure that everyone would like this cake, so it is perfect for throwing a party, baking for the kid’s school or maybe for your colleagues? I got this recipe from my grandmother.

I have baked it so many times, and it is always good and loved by everyone. It is actually not really a chocolate cake but more a cocoa cake. But that just makes it a lot easier – because everyone has cocoa in the kitchen, but not always chocolate. In my opinion this is the best chocolate cake ever!

If you are looking for a healthy alternative to this chocolate cake we can absolutely recommend this recipe for a chocolate cake with no sugar or flour added.

      1 dl (deciliter) = 2/5 cup
      2.5 dl = 1 cup
      You can use google.com to convert. Just search "1 dl to cups"
