Adding 1 tbsp espresso powder to the boiling water dramatically improves the flavour of this cake and makes it perfect!

This is my go to chocolate cake now. Its tasty, but not overly rich or too sweet. Goes well with a sweet frosting such as buttercream. Dense enough to hold up find under fondant. Moist, delicious, and simple to make.

Super moist and delicious!!! Didn’t have quite enough cocoa so I melted some semi sweet morsels in the hot water. Will definately make this again. Everyone loved it!!
