Moist chocolate cake for layer cake
Recipe by Once upon a time pastry
An ultra‑moist chocolate cake, ideal for making perfectly straight layer cakes. The combination of butter, grape seed oil, fermented milk and a light splash of vinegar gives a light and airy texture, while chocolate chips melt in the mouth. The recipe uses three 15 cm pans to obtain three perfectly smooth cake discs, easy to unmold thanks to a greasing spray.
