For an even richer chocolate flavor, substitute brewed coffee for the water. A touch of cinnamon or espresso powder can be added to the dry ingredients for extra depth. This cake is delicious on its own, or topped with your favorite chocolate frosting or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Apr 1, 2025I was skeptical about using sourdough in a chocolate cake, but this recipe is amazing! The cake is so moist and the sourdough adds a subtle tang that complements the chocolate perfectly.

Nov 19, 2024I added a pinch of espresso powder to the dry ingredients, as suggested, and it was a fantastic addition! I also made a chocolate ganache to top it off. Delicious!
