(12,132 posts)but sadly, the recipe was lost ages ago. He made it for me on my birthday one year and I never wanted anything else. I know he got the recipe from one of his aunts but they are all long gone too so I'm resigned to just knowing his Super Bowl Crab Dip that I'll be having very soon.

(22,270 posts)you will lose yourself in all the possibilities but you might find it. There are a lot of chocolate cakes with salted caramel frosting or icing these days because salted caramel is so trendy.
Any good buttermilk chocolate cake will do the trick and there are lots of caramel frosting recipes.

(22,270 posts)Italian Cream Cake and German's Chocolate Cake are both buttermilk cakes.
Biscuits, cornbread and pancakes are also better with buttermilk.

enjoy this vegan devils food cake:
3 C Flour
2 TS Baking Soda
1 1/2 C Sugar
1 TS Salt
6 TBS Cocoa Powder
Mix, then add:
2 C Cold Water
2 TBS Apple Cider Vinegar
10 TBS Oil
4 TS Vanilla
Mix by hand.
Bake for 45 minutes in 9x13 UNGREASED pan at 350 F
This is a depression era recipe when milk, eggs and butter were too hard to get but bakers still wanted to make something delicious. It may just be the best chocolate cake you will ever taste.

(22,270 posts)German chocolate and pound cake not Devil's Food style. The difference is the texture. Devil's Food is sort of honeycombed inside, and pound cake or German Chocolate have a very dense crumb They taste different too.
Yesterday I found a recipe called Blackout Cake. It has 1 1/2 CUPS of cocoa powder in the cake and another 1 1/2 cups in the frosting! It is a chocolate cream cheese frosting, and then you cover the cake in chocolate chips.
I have this awesome cocoa that I get at Costco - our Costco only stocks it from late October until they run out. So I stock up when it appears on the shelf. Except for expensive imported cocoa I have not found any that tastes as good as this.

(63,221 posts)chocolate cake. It's not too sweet, but it's delicious. I usually frost it with real whipped cream, lightly sweetened or homemade butter cream frosting. I don't like anything too dense or too sweet. This cake is just perfect.

I was about to post "any kind except German chocolate." I really can't stand it, but regular chocolate cake is possibly my favorite food in the world. I have often said that a quarter of a freshly made chocolate cake and half a gallon of Bryers Vanilla would be the end of my last meal on death row.
Oh, well, to each his/her own.

(34,120 posts)Black Oil Cake so that is what I make most, or made before we both got old enough we could not eat much of it anymore. It was quick and easy and quite tasty!
Personally I like Chocolate Cake with cherrys. Mmmmmm

(54,437 posts)My grandmother used to make a chocolate cake with two layers of a not-too-sweet dark chocolate cake with a bittersweet/coffee flavored icing in and around it.
Best chococlate cake I ever had, bar none. I have no idea who ended up with the recipe, but I can almost still taste it now 40 years later. Never had anything like it before or since.
Distant second: Sprüngli "Orange" cake--light cake interior with tart orange icing in the middle with a dark bittersweet chocolate icing exterior. As far as I know, only sold at the Sprüngli shops in Switzerland.

(24,051 posts)...buttercream frosting.
I live way too close to a Nothing Bundt Cakes franchise, and their chocolate chocolate chip (not a typo - double choc) with vanilla buttercream/ cream cheese frosting is soooooooo delicious.
mopinko

no frosting, just a dollop of whipped cream. not really sweet, just chocolatey good.
