Ultimate Homemade Chocolate Cake

Chocolate Cake has always been on my food bucket list. I always dreamed of making a chocolate cake that I could make for my kids for their birthday or special occasions. When my kids are older and have families of their own, I want a chocolate cake recipe that they will beg me to make when they come over for Sunday dinner.

An amazing slice of chocolate cake is hard to come by. One of the places I know I can get an amazing slice of chocolate cake is at the Cheesecake Factory. If you have ever had a slice of their Chocolate Tower Cake, you know what I mean. It’s a fluffy and moist chocolate cake that is layered with a smooth truffle like chocolate frosting. Every time I am in the vicinity of a Cheesecake Factory, it’s a given that I have to stop and buy a slice. The slice of cake is huge, so I always have to share it with a few people.

When I set out to create my own Ultimate Homemade Chocolate Cake recipe, the Cheesecake Factory Chocolate Tower Cake was what I was aiming for. I am excited  to say that after many, many, attempts I have finally figured out a recipe that tastes just like the Chocolate Tower Cake.

I do need to thank my neighbor and friend Trista for helping me with this recipe. Trista owned and operated a local cupcake shop called Cupcake Chic for years. Every time I tested a different version of this cake, I took some over to her so she could give me her expert opinion. She gave me lots of helpful tips that played a big part in this cake recipe. Thanks Trista!
