Moist Chocolate Cake (Bread Machine)

Moist Chocolate Cake (Bread Machine)

Yep, you read that right, cake in a bread machine. This recipe is from the cookbook that came with my bread machine, and I will say it is spot on as chocolate, and moist! No frosting needed! I made this on 4 Apr 2017 and it is excellent! Your bread machine needs a cake function in order to make this. I do use dry weight measurements in grams on a digital scale and liquid measurement in ml, ounces and cup measurement are provided as well.

  • Remove the pan from the bread machine and set it on the counter to cool for about 30 minutes to an hour. Once it has cooled, get a rack ready on the counter. Now fold up 2-3 paper towels, you are going use hand to hold the top of the cake, while you turn the pan over with your other hand by hold the attachment at the bottom of the pan, gently shake the pan and the cake will drop from the pan and paddle into your hand. Set the pan down, place the rack on the cake and turn the cake and rack over. Now your cake is on the rack and right side up, allow the cake to completely cool.
  • Slice, and use a large spatula to pick up and set on plates, or it will fall apart. Top with some whipped cream, enjoy! Here is a slice served with two brownies.

    I made this without the vanilla extract since it wasn’t in my pantry but it turned out great. Was an absolute hit with the family.

      Thank you for the great review. And agree with it being a hit, first time I made this, it became a regular cake requested. Great to hear your family enjoyed this.

  2. I made this cake and was so happy with the result! Instead of evaporated milk, I used milk powder dissolved in less water than directed on the package and it worked. Thank you for this recipe!!!

    I made two of these on 14 April 2019 for a get together with friends, these always come out perfect. Matter of fact, I have made more cake in my bread machine than bread.
