With all the sun out, I bring a damn blooming lovely Chocolate cake to you. I know I know, Summer isn´t the perfect time to bring up the heavy chocolate cakes, but my brother celebrated his birthday last Monday and he said: “A birthday isn´t a birthday without a chocolate cake”!, therefore I was forced to make one, right? I tried to improve my mums chocolate cake recipe and I can assure you: I accomplished that! This birthday cake is easy and simple, but my brother worked on his birthday very long, so we decided to go on a lovely dinner, rather than going all in on the birthday cake! It was really nice! But I baked for him and his colleagues at work, therefore he did get some cake!

This chocolate cakes so easy and so good! Really chocolaty, moist, tasteful, with a little bit of coffee, just delicious. Also it is good for using in other recipes as a base, so to say! So, although it is Summer, I hope you are up for some chocolaty goodness? You can eat it with some vanilla ice, which makes it a little bit more Summer, right? Maybe on the next rainy day?
