Better-Than-The-Back-Of-The-Box Chocolate Cake

We all need a perfect chocolate cake in our pocket. It’s the one we turn to when a child shares that there’s a siyum tomorrow, or when it’s Friday afternoon and we’re in the mood to bake an extra Shabbos treat. It’s great with ice cream for dessert, or with coffee for breakfast. And whether we sit down to enjoy a whole slice without guilt, or we take “just a sliver” at a time, a comforting chocolate cake makes us (and our families) smile.

Thanks for pointing out! You're supposed to add 3/4 cup of water

Great recipe, so easy and tasty. I did need to double the glaze to cover the cake, but we really enjoyed.

Really impressive for a cake mixed with a spoon! A lot of crumbs but a delicious chocolate cake.
