Why is my chocolate cake dry?

Pay attention to the ratios and weights of ingredients and make sure you follow the recipe: too much flour or too little fat will increase the risk of dry cake. Baking the cake for too long is also a culprit for dry results, so keep an eye on the clock.

What does adding coffee to chocolate cake do?

Many bakers regard coffee as the secret ingredient in the most intense chocolatey of all chocolate cakes. A little goes a long way and too much could change the flavor profile from pure chocolate to a distinct chocolate-coffee combination. A teaspoon of coffee powder, added while mixing the dry ingredients, should do the trick.

Why doesn’t my chocolate cake taste like chocolate?

Poor quality chocolate is one common reason for a lack of flavor, so try swapping for a more cocoa-rich brand. The coffee trick, as well as an extra touch salt, can also help to increase the chocolatey flavor.
