Chocolate Brownie Cake
Report
Chocolate brownie cake is a rich, dense chocolate cake that tastes like chocolate cake meets a pan of fudge brownies.

Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup warm water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla.
- Whisk the flour mixture into the sugar mixture along with the buttermilk and warm water.
- Pour the batter to the prepared pan.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, about 40 minutes.
- Transfer to a rack to cool for 20 minutes, then loosen cake and flip out onto the rack to cool completely.
- Slice cake in half horizontally.
- Frost with chocolate whipped cream or frosting of your choice (suggestions in notes below).
Notes
- Cocoa powder: I have only used Dutch-processed cocoa powder in this recipe. I haven't tried regular unsweetened cocoa powder in this recipe.
- Butter: I use salted butter in this cake. If you prefer to use unsalted butter, increase the salt in the recipe to 1/2 teaspoon.
- Buttermilk: Regular or low-fat will work. If you don't have any buttermilk, you can make a good substitute with this recipe.
- Water: Warm water right from the tap will work. The water should be about 100F.
- Frosting: I have several frosting suggestions above.
