This cake recipe is as simple as it gets. I wanted to bake a Kitkat cake for my son on his 5th birthday and that’s why I hunted the internet for the easiest Chocolate Cake and Ganache recipe. I did a couple of trials and found this one the easiest.

I like my chocolate cake with Ganache topping (click here for the recipe). You can just pour the ganache over the cake once it cools down. This recipe can be used to make Chocolate Cupcakes as well. I once did a baking class for kids and they loved spreading the ganache on their cupcakes and decorating them with sprinklers. On my later posts, I will also share how to assemble the Kitkat cake (it looks very professional).
