Chocolate cake with Oreo buttercream frosting – recipe

When I asked my daughter (13) what kind of cake she wanted for her birthday she (almost) shouted; “Nutella cheesecake!” Ok, I get it.

Delicious yet oh so simple chocolate cake

I would like to share with you my go-to recipe for the most delicious yet oh so simple chocolate cake.

If all I want to do is “throw” a chocolate cake in the oven and I just can’t be bothered with a “first mix this and then this in a separate bowl ….” kind of recipe then this is my go to recipe. But that said, I also use this one for wedding cakes and birthday cakes. I guess I use it more or less for everything except maybe cupcakes, it’s maybe not firm enough for that. Continue reading
