Hot Chocolate Cake

This super fudgy hot chocolate cake so moist and incredibly fluffy! Think of it as having a warm cup of cocoa in cake form. The cake is soaked in a hot chocolate made with evaporated milk and chocolate Cortés, a Puerto Rican style chocolate bar. I served it with a light whipped cream and poured more hot chocolate on the bottom. Every bite was pure chocolate Heaven!

There’s something pretty magical about drinking hot chocolate. If you drink coffee, or even tea, then you need to have a sip of that in your daily routine. But you don’t need to have hot chocolate. That’s a drink for pure pleasure. You do it just for you. Because there’s nothing like grabbing…

Devil's Food Cake with Coconut Italian Meringue

This devil’s food cake is for true chocolate cake lovers. It has the purest taste of chocolate. It’s rich and decadent and not apologetic at all when it comes to be the sinful-lest cake among all other cakes. I used Dutch processed cocoa powder for that intense chocolate flavor and used both cake flour and all-purpose flour for a very light crumb and texture. A bit of buttermilk did wonders for the texture too, making it impossibly fluffy, even for a chocolate cake! If you are ready to experience a chocolate cake on it’s purest form, then this cake is totally for you!

Actually, this one was really for my husband as his birthday cake. He has always loved chocolate cakes in any form, but he loves the most pure and simple chocolate cakes where…
