I have tried many chocolate cake recipes, and have found this one really popular--Hershey's "Perfectly Chocolate" Chocolate Cake. Ever since I made this chocolate cake, I have not used any other chocolate cake recipes because all my chocolate lover friends love this chocolate cake the best, plus it is very easy to make.
Since this is about the only chocolate cake recipe for me now, I use it for my Black Forest Cake as well as Chocolate Strawberry Whipped Cream Cake or Chocolate Strawberry Mousse Cake. This recipe is easily found online, but here I would like to show you one with my tweak, lower sugar content and cake flour instead of all purpose:
(Chocolate Strawberry Mousse Cake)
From near to far: Chocolate Strawberry Whipped Cream Cake, Black Forest Cake, (these two are made with this chocolate cake recipe) Chiffon Taro Mousse Cake, Carrot Cake, and Chiffon Peach Whipped Cream Cake (the chiffon cake recipe is the one posted in the Hokaido Chiffon Cake)
