The Easiest Chocolate Cake Of All Time 

I showed this to my Asian tiger mom and now she refers to you as the "ass slapping chocolate cake man"

Imagine calling people out who drink milk seconds after standing on the counter WITH YOUR SHOES ON

This series should be called “but easier” and make a bunch of stuff but super easy

Can I just say that I fully appreciate that you also give the measurements in grams because we don’t use the cup measurement in England and it’s so annoying to convert a recipe

“Using ingredients i hope you’ll all have at home” Step 1 and 2: parchment paper and springform Well

joshua: "Grease the walls" me: *spreads butter on every wall in my kitchen*

Just writing out a brief method so I don't need to keep rewinding - feel free to use if u want :) 1. prep 2 9 inch (spring form) pans w/ parchment and greasing 2. sift flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt 3. add both sugars into bowl 4. sperapte bowl: add yolks and drizzle in oil when it gets thick add vanilla keep drizzling oil till its all in. Add 2 eggs. 5. add this custard mix to dry mix and fold together (it's chill if it's clumpy and dry) 6. seperatly heat milk till it begins to simmer 7. add this to the chocolaty mix wisking till its smooth-ish 8. pop in oven in oven for 30 - 35 min / do toothpick test 9. cool for 10 min inside pan 10. invert onto wire rack if you want flat tops For frosting: 1. sift dry ingridients together 2. beat butter till soft then add the dry bit by bit 3. add milk till you get right consistency (don't over do it!!) Frost cake and decorate. Let it rest/cool then enjoy well done!! okay i'm gonna make this now bbyyyyeeee! if you're doing this in a smaller pan (like me) reduce temp and bake for longer not sure how long tho just do the toothpick thing :)

Thank you for this recipe! My friend had never had a homemade cake before, and I made this for his birthday. He absolutely loved it!

"Thicc, yet easily spreadable" That's some good preferences there, Josh

I haven’t been assaulted with this much cake since figuring out how to get online In middle school...

I've made this recipe a few times just without the cocoa powder so they were just vanilla and in cupcake form for parties. And I always get so many compliments and have been asked for the recipe. I can guarantee these will be a smash with everyone!

If you are making the cake for a few people, the leftovers make delicious cake pops. I didn’t heavily ice my cake so I had leftover icing. I took about 3/4 of the cake and added left over icing and formed into balls. Froze for 10 minutes and dipped in desired chocolate. They were the best cake pops 🤤🤤🤤

Me: innocent sweet summer child who just came to learn how to cook Josh: BOOTY BOOTY BOOTY BOOTY BOOTY!

“This is made with ingredients I’m hoping people have in their pantry.” You're so adorable for assuming I have anything else than instant noodles in my pantry, Josh

I made it today, actually two, they're chilling in the fridge, I've tried the frosting and it's amazing, they're a little crooked for some reason but it doesn't matter, it's interesting how every recipe of yours that I've tried, I never failed, the only puff pastry I make is with your recipe, and I REALLY appreciate that you think about us, metric people and convert everything so we don't have to, thank you ❤️

Me: - fasting - Yt recommendations: say no more

Josh: *shaking booty vigorously* Josh's girlfriend: "ewww" Made me spill my drink 😂😂😂

“This is made with ingredients that Im hoping most people will have in their pantry already” I don’t even have the pan 💀😂

I made this cake about two days ago for my aunts birthday and it was so decadent and amazing and super super moist! We loved it. Followed all the measurements and it wasn’t too sweet. Thank you so so much for this! Fav recipe for chocolate cake

I made this recipe and I have to say one of the best chocolate cakes I have ever eaten. It is moist, soft and just melts in your mouth. 11/10 totally recommend.

“This is made with ingredients I’m hoping people have in their pantry.” Jokes on you, I don’t have a pantry.

5:51 “but do you want to know what else is full of chocolaty thickness? my as- I mean uh b roll” lmao

Appreciated those on-beat transitions, A+ 😂

i just made this, my first time baking a cake EVER. i've only been baking for about 7 months, im very much an amateur, my tools arent even complete (i dont even have a kitchen scale and stand mixer, and my hand mixer is just VERY good for sth that's more than 20 years old) and as an amateur i can attest that this recipe was VERY easy to make. I did use a different chef's frosting but the cake for this came out really nice, it was dense and soft and not very crumbly. im so glad this recipe exists, i've been wanting to make a cake but have been very nervous about the process, so this was such a relief to find and a joy to make.

Josh: start of with 9 inch cake pans Me: *throws 8 inch cake pans at wall out of pure anger* DAM IT

Josh: This is super easy recipe with things you already have Me: Ok Josh: Two 9 inch spring-form baking pans Me: I'm out

I made this yesterday and it came wonderful. Thanks!

Made this for my mom on her birthday, she loved it!

"Easiest cake of all time" -make a vanilla mayo -steam the milk -use a million bowls -trash on milk as a beverage

Josh: “Everyone says baking cakes is so hard.” Me: **laughs in Betty Crocker**

Just made this last night at like 2am. First cake ive ever made and possibly the only cake I will ever make. It's a couple fancy techniques and that crumb and crust of the cake is just... mmmwah. I used some pretty old (not expired tho) powdered sugar and it left a very strange aftertaste, but not super noticeable. It reminds me specifically of a chocolate cake I used to eat when I was really young by a company called Bill Knapp's. I'm not sure where you get your recipes or how it is that you develop them, Josh, but you succeed so well with educating your audience on certain techniques and food science and whatnot that I am CONVINCED that this is the only chocolate cake that EVERYONE should know. It has sort of perked my ears up to the fact that the majority of people do not know anything about baking or even cooking in general, and that is why your channel is so incredibly valuable. Thank you, my friend.

I love that you use both gramms and cups. It can be hard for me sometimes when I want to make something with only cups and teaspoons. Thank you

ok! i tried the recipe. here’s my review: it was pretty good!! i would definitely try it again. i consider myself an amateur baker. i’ve never made a cake from scratch before. i made this and i did it with minimal stress and difficulty. it tasted very good. it’s very rich so you won’t want to eat large pieces of the cake; a small piece is enough. my one complaint is that it created quite a big mess, but that’s pretty unavoidable while baking (especially if you’re me). overall, i do really like this recipe and i think anyone with a decent baking experience could do it.

Josh: This is going to be an easy, simple chocolate cake without too many extra steps Also Josh: Now we're going to make our own mayo by hand

I did your recipe and it was delicious. Thank you!!!

i took a bite and i instantly had a break down i cried , it is so good thank you joshua ❤️❤️

“This is made with ingredients I’m hoping people have in their pantry.” "So start off by preparing 2 9-inch cake pans..." yup. Im out . Edit: I just wanted to share my gratitude to the comment chain below. Love y'all. Plus the 801 likes.

he do be having cake doe making... i mean making cake

Me: So I have all of this things right? Josh: Two 9 inch cake pans- Me: *Aight then be like that*

This cake may not be the best thing ever but it's definitely the best cake an amateur like me can make. Wish you would post more of these simple recipes. Your recent videos aren’t really fitting for beginners in cooking like me but I love how your style is so take this as a request from a long time watcher.

"hey mom, look this great cake recipe!" "whats with the ass slapping tho"

I made this cake today for my dads birthday! It was super easy, I have almost always messed up when I’ve tried baking but this was very low stress. After reading comments I decided to only use 3/4 white sugar and I’m glad I did. The cake by itself is not super sweet but very chocolate-y, and the frosting compliments that perfectly. It’s definitely a more dense cake, like he said, but it’s worth it for the amount of work you put in!

I loved this recipe!! It was very easy and delicious

You saved my tail with this less complicated recipe! I needed to make a birthday cake today and the ingredients to your recipe were already in my pantry! I did your focaccia recipe last week - that one was great too! Thanks man!

Anime when Alone: 4:30 Anime when Mom walks in: 5:07

That "eww" soundbite at 5:07 had me laughing hysterically

Thank you for posting a great chocolate cake recipe that doesn't have coffee or alcohol! My family and I greatly appreciate that!

I’ve just made it today and it was amazing 🤩. It ended taking two days because I started at the worst time possible but it was worth and super delicious 😋.

Two ingredient mug cake: "Am I a joke to you?"

"With ingredients I'm hoping everyone has in their pantry." First thing we see is not one but two 9-inch spring form baking pans...

Great recipe Joshua! I made this for my grandpa's 87 birthday. It came out great! TIP: ALWAYS USE PARCHMENT PAPER, I DIDN'T AND THE BOTTOM BROKE OFF WHEN TAKING IT OUT

I made this and it is very yummy. Great recipe!

the real cake in this video isn’t chocolate flavoured

"The Easiest Chocolate Cake Of All Time" "okay so we're gonna start with 2 pounds of raw unfiltered malasyan flour from the moutains, cultivated by virgin pasto

I made this. It's simple, like the title says, pretty easy, and really tasty. As an amateur baker, I'd recommend this

Just finished making this and I’m for damn sure gonna finish eating this, it’s delicious!!

He is like Gordon Ramsay and Michael Reeves had a love child. Edit 1: I think I single handedly am responsible for Michael getting a thousand more subs lol.

Anyone else scoff at whenever Joshua says "easiest----ever" lmao

This cake looks amazing bro. I am amazed by your methods of how to make it. Btw I highly recommend using cake strips if you want a flat cake. They are just pieces of fabric that you soak in water, wrap around the pans. And it gives you flat cake and prevents the edges from drying out and forming a crust

Congratulations for your 3M josh ❤️ I’ve been watching your videos very long time ! Really impressive

1:21 I’m a little disappointed that Josh didn’t say “give it some sifty business” when sifting the flour

"Easiest" *Shows a recipe far far more complicated than any cake I've made from scratch*

this recipe rocks!!! this was my 2nd time making a cake ever an I can say i kinda nailed it😭

Tried it. Love it!!! Perfect chocolate cake . 😍 My family love it and keep asking me to make it again

everyone is talking about Josh's butt , and I'm just sitting here thinking how nice his editing skills are that the beat hits just as the shots change.

As someone who enjoys baking, this is easy. Like, I love baking, but sometimes I want to try those nice recipes and don't have everything. I have everything for this recipe.

Just made this tonight and added some fresh strawberries on the side and best chocolate cake I've had yet!! Plus I used high quality ingredients & chocolate.. so good

You said seal @ 4:24 and I started singing mate, great recipe

This is the method used in Bon Appetit Chris Morroco's Chocolate Cake.

"Easiest Chocolate Cake of all time" one part of the recipe is making mayo from scratch

Try adding two teaspoons of instant coffee granules to the cocoa, The coffee enhances the taste of the chocolate.

The best Chocolate Cake I've ever ate!!!! Highly Addictive and silky AF!!

Joshua: here’s the easiest chocolate cake Mom: this guy doesn’t know me yet

Me: Tuned in for some fresh B-roll Josh: *Slaps ass aggressively* 5:07

Its not making the cake that's daunting, its doing the dishes after

Bro the amount of times you’ve saved my life while looking for something to make or how to make something I want!!!!!

"You know what else is full of chocolatey thiccness? My a...I mean uh B-roll" I laughed so hard I hurt something inside.

5:07 *Josh dancing on counter* “EW”

cake tasted amazing, thx so much. u da best!

Cooling cakes upside down makes so much sense!!!!! Usually I just shear the top off the bottom one but this is way easier

Made about 20 cakes in my life and theyve all failed miserably. This is the first one that was not only palatable but I was proud to feed to others and got compliments all round. That's for the cake Josh 🤙🏻

Josh: *THE EASIEST CHOCOLATE CAKE OF ALL TIME* Me: I have determined that to be a straight up lie.

I baked it, and turned amazing ..

Lmfao I literately love you. Your edits feed me the camp my soul needs to survive. Thank you

This cake's interior looks just a lil dry to me

Me: Haven't watched youtube on lunch at work in awhile. Josh: Let me ASSist you with this venture.

Damn bro. I was straight before I watched this. Now I gots cravings for cakes. Thanksgiving is gonna be awkward this year.

Tip for springpan: You can just use a larger parchment paper, and close as normal with that over the bottom (it will be squeezed in). Works perfectly and is really easy.

Josh: when it starts to get a little too thicc Me: Josh? Too thicc? I never thought this day would come

Came so early that the B-roll was still A-roll

Gonna try for my family dinner tonight!! Thanks

Me and my girl made this yesterday and you are the man.

Nobody: Josh: "You know what else is filled with chocolately thickness, my as- I mean uh b-roll"

Not a Single Soul: Josh Getting ready for a video: Hey babe do these pants make my but look big??

I held this up to my favorite chocolate cake recipe and saw that this is absolutely not the easiest cake recipe ever. Also mine is gluten-free (or rather, can very easily be made to be) by nature and SO good.

I love how much superior this recipe is to the Tasty one.

Not gonna lie, here waiting for the “butt shots” lmao 😂

Nobody: Josh: But do you wanna know what else is full of chocolaty thickness? *my as-*

Greaaaaat!! Super easy and delicious

Just baked this for New Year's Eve. It's chilling in the fridge now. It looks decent enough. I hope it tastes good too!
