My Moist Chocolate Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream recipe works really well in cake form. Simply divide the batter equally between three 8" round cake pans and cook for 20 minutes at 350 degrees, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. I use the same frosting recipe as with the cupcakes, and frost it all up once the cakes are cool.
P.S. The cakestand and paper liner are from Martha's Collection at Macy's. (I think they're only available in stores, not online).
That cake looks amazingly good! I can't wait for a trip to the bookstore and pick up your new book. Congratulations from a Washington girl now transplanted in the South! Happy Spring! Victoria Lynn

I have used this recipe from you both for quite some time. My friends request "the yummy chocolate cupcakes with pale pink frosting" every year for their birthdays! This one is a keeper! Wish I had a piece now!! :)

Well, the pressing questions for me is where do I get that cute doily like thing you have the cake on in the photo???

It looks so yummy! And I love the doily underneath too.

Oh yummy...I'm adding junk to my trunk just looking at this!

Goodness, that looks wonderful, and I, too, would like to know where the beautiful paper doily comes from!

You know, that reminds me that I haven't baked a chocolate cake in ages. I've got to get some ingredients together and bake myself a chocolate cake this week.

Yummy-looking cake! Not good for my diet though, so I will just have to admire from afar! :)

Oh YUM!! Drooling doesn't add junk to my trunk, right? I hope not. There's plenty there.

Stephanie is so funny about her chocolate cake. This cake looks amazing and I am very fearful that it would put MORE junk in my trunk....

I've added to my "junk in the trunk" with this recipe! I blogged about it here: http://calicodaisy.blogspot.com/2009/03/company-is-coming.html. It looks perfect and tastes perfect, too! -- Michele

I made this last night for all my family that just came in to town. It was the most amazing chocolate cake from scrtach that I've ever had! Thank you!!!

I LOVE this recipe! I've made the cupcakes many times and always get tons of compliments. I'd love to use it for my youngest son's upcoming 3rd birthday but need to do a single layer cake (9x13x2). Have you tried it in this form? Thanks so much!
