Adding hot water to the batter helps to create an exceptionally moist and tender chocolate cake. The peppermint frosting between cake layers adds a unique touch to this rich dessert.
I have made this cake many times and it always comes out perfect! It is moist and tender. the mint filling is perfect not too strong but flavorful.
This cake is spot on, rises evenly, I cooked in 9 inch pan, moist, tasty, delicious.
New Favourite.
Absolutely luscious chocolate cake! I tweaked it a little - used cherry extract instead of the peppermint oil in the filling, and garnished it with dark chocolate-covered cherries. It's a wonderful recipe that can easily be modified to fit the season - or other tastes!
This is such a wonderful cake. But make sure the cake is completely cool before you apply the pepermint frosting or else the frosting will melt and it will make a mess. Also make sure the ganache is pretty cool before pouring it on cake or it will run all over the place. Great cake for a special occasion.
The first time I made this cake, it was an instant favorite! It is the most requested cake for birthdays and events. The cake is so moist and delicious!.... You will have this recipe in your "favorites" folder for sure.
THE CAKE RECIPE IS AWESOME. I HAVE USED THIS PARTICULAR CHOCOLATE CAKE RECIPE WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT FILLINGS AND FROSTINGS. THIS CAKE ALWAYS GARNERS RAVE REVIEWS FROM EVERYONE. A DEFINITE KEEPER. MOIST, RICH, VELVETY TEXTURE. INCREDIBLE.
