Triple Chocolate Birthday Cake Redux

Jump to recipe

If you have a chocolate lover in your family then I have just the thing!

We celebrate a lot of birthdays between July and September and that comes with a variety of opinions on the type of cakes or treats we have when it’s time to celebrate. I am not actually much of a cake person, cupcake, yes! If you think about it, it really doesn’t make much sense but I think it has more to do with the proportions of cake to icing. Some of you know what I am saying!

This recipe was shared with me by my husband’s Nana. This is the cake that she would make for his birthday and given his love of chocolate I wasn’t at all surprised to see that is was mostly made of chocolate! I would have probably swirled in a bit of peanut butter but for some reason he doesn’t believe PB and Chocolate go together…he’s bananas right?!?!

You might have noticed this is a newer version of a previous post. I wanted to make this cake in the way that my husband was used to having it. Especially given that I was making it as a belated birthday treat for him, wife of the year right here!

This cake is incredibly easy to make and something you could probably do with a little one or two. I didn’t put icing on because it really doesn’t need any. A good dusting of powder sugar or a dollop of whipped cream will do the trick. If you have a chocolate lover in your life they will not be disappointed even if they find themselves blowing out more candles than they would like to count.

      I am so glad you enjoyed it! I was worried it might not live up to the original, not sure it does but Dan seemed to enjoy it. I am honored that you entrusted me with this recipe and others that have become family favorites. I hope I continue to do them justice!
