Hailed the best chocolate cake ever by 3000+ students, this recipe is the easiest to make with just 5 simple ingredients.
The result is a delicious chocolate cake with a texture between a mud cake and a sponge cake. Not too light but not too heavily dense either. It’s the perfect building block for tall, structured buttercream cakes.

I am a fan of Thao’s expertise and efficiency when making recipes. I focus so much when I’m in the kitchen and lose track of time. Having to use whole eggs and the chocolate as base recipe makes baking these so much easier! It tastes divine as well! It’s moist and sort of fudgy. This will definitely be my go-to recipe. I can’t wait for the Vanilla bundle online class. Thanks so much, Thao! ?
I am so glad I bought this course! I cannot wait for the vanilla bundle to come out now! The red velvet turned out amazing I can’t wait to try the chocolate next!
These two recipes use readily available ingredients, they’re super easy to make and they turn out great every time! Recommend.
Great tutorials and awesome techniques. Thanks Thao.
Straightforward and exceptional! Great job Thao????
I have to admit it’s only been a week but in that short time I have baked a beautiful Vanilla Cake, Chocolate & Caramel Cupcakes with perfect results.
The course and recipes are easy to follow and the flavours are amazing.
I only bake for family and friends but love to give them my best and now I’m so confident of that.
Thanks Thao
I’m the founder of Don’t Tell Charles and your course instructor. My passion is to help aspiring cake makers achieve success by working smarter, not harder.
I started my cake making journey as a home baker back in 2012. In my 10 years as a modern cake designer, I’ve been through it all. I’ve done the hard slog, wasted years making mistakes (and learnt heaps from them), so I know what you’re going through and how it feels. I’m here to shorten the journey for you, to give you tried and true, expert advice you can trust.
This Chocolate Cake recipe, along with 15+ other DTC Cake recipes, have been extensively tested by me for over ten years and they are fail-proof. They have helped me save so much time in the kitchen, and have given me so much joy making them over the years.
I know they’ll do the same for you.

Thickened cream is cream that has 35% milk fat and contains a thickening additive such as gelatin, vegetable gum or other modifying agents. Thickened cream is also known as heavy cream or whipping cream.
The texture of this chocolate cake is in between a mud cake and a sponge cake. Not too light but not too heavily dense either. It’s the perfect building block for tall, structured buttercream cakes. It is also sturdy enough to be used underneath fondant.
Yes, the recipes are the same. How efficient is that! The only difference is the oven setting and baking temperature.
Yes it is! This course is a ‘taster course’ if you will, to give you an insight into how our cake recipes work and taste.
