Secret Chocolate Cake

Shh, let’s keep this Secret Chocolate Cake recipe between us, okay?

Secret Chocolate Cake


A bonus recipe for the last day of 2015, this secret chocolate cake is EASY to assemble and contains no butter or eggs. If you can find non-dairy chocolate chips, you can make it a completely vegan cake. I recently took this cake to a holiday party and it was gobbled up in no time. (And no one knew it was vegan, so don’t tell, okay?)

It's no secret, diginwithdana.com loves to share easy cake recipes!

If you have followed diginwithdana at all this year, you know I LOVE to make basic cakes that require minimal work and decorating. Even if you are a beginner baker, baking can be fun – just read the recipe carefully a few times, gather your ingredients and follow the instructions.

Three layer rose birthday cake made by Dana and daughter for daughter's birthday.

You don’t need a special occasion to make Secret Chocolate Cake. Rich, light and topped with fudge frosting (also called ganache), it’s easier to make than this fancy three layer cake my daughter and I made for her birthday, but every bit as delicious. No mixer required. Just mix together wet and dry ingredients, pour into a pan and bake!

White, strawberry and chocolate rose birthday cake.

This secret chocolate cake is my way of saying THANK YOU to all of you who read and support diginwithdana. It may not be as fancy as the cake below ( a slice of Heaven and Hell cake from the restaurant Stephan Pyles in Dallas where I trained as a baking intern in 2012), but it’s a lot easier to make and Heaven on a plate!

    Is there a reason your recipes don’t print out?

      I print out my recipes all the time. There is a print button- if you have a Mac, you can press print preview and then print it. Let me know if that works! Or you can send me your email and I’ll email you PDF copies of whatever recipes you want.

      I just printed out the secret chocolate cake recipe and it printed out just fine for me. Try shutting down your computer and restarting it- maybe that will help!
