Can you substitute the canola oil for melted coconut oil ?

Hi Veda, I’m not sure where you see “baking chocolate bar” in this post, but the recipe calls for dark chocolate. You can use any brand you prefer. You can also use an unsweetened baking chocolate bar if you prefer! Any chocolate that is made with 60% or more cocoa will work great in this recipe!

“That’s the best birthday cake I’ve ever had in my entire life”

Her entire life is only 10 years, but she’s right. Even the non-cake lovers ate every bite! Thanks for a recipe that let this aunt deliver for her niece. I also used your chocolate buttercream recipe for it and everything turned out delicious!

This is the best chocolate cake recipe I’ve used. I’d never seen a recipe that started with water and sugar on the stove. The cake is dense and moist, just like I like it. The chocolate buttercream frosting is fudgy. I only had 9 inch rounds, so I used them to make two layers. I used self rising flour because that’s what I always do when a recipe calls for all purpose and baking powder soda or powder. The icing recipe made enough for two layers. I didn’t make the chocolate sauce, but I bet it would be fantastic. Thank you for the recipe!

Glad you enjoyed it Danielle! Yes, I do think it would hold up for fondant.

Thankyou, I’ve made lots of chocolate cake recipes over the years. This is definitely one of the best. It has lots of flavour, a nice soft texture and it doesn’t have the oily ‘wet’ texture you can get from all oil cakes. It also tastes great straight out of the fridge. Do you think it would hold up under fondant?
