Sharing our favorite moist chocolate cake recipe today! My Butterfinger Double Chocolate Layered Cake makes the perfect dessert to celebrate your loved ones!

Moist Chocolate Cake Recipe

Moist chocolate cake anyone?! I’d like to introduce you to my Homemade Double Chocolate Butterfinger Cake. It is made by baking the batter in two 2 cup ramekins. I love this size because it’s about 6 inches wide and about 12 inches tall. Perfect for a birthday cake for that special someone 🙂

Here’s a closer look of the cake stand I made. Love how it looks with the little tall cake.

How To Make Moist Chocolate Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and spray two 2 cup ramekins with cooking spray and the bottoms lined with parchment paper.
  2. Heat the milk in a microwave safe bowl until hot, about 45-60 seconds. Remove and add chocolate chips. Let sit for 1 minute then stir to melt.
  3. In a stand mixer, mix the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt and baking soda to combine. Slowly add the eggs, sour cream, oil and melted chocolate mixture until combined. Divide batter between the two prepared ramekins. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until baked through. Remove and let cool. Remove cakes from ramekins and split horizontally.
  4. To prepare frosting, beat butter until creamy. Slowly add powdered sugar and cocoa until thick and spreadable. Spread a thin layer over each of the split cakes. Top each frosted layer with crushed Butterfinger bars. Stack cakes on top of each other onto your desired cake plate. Frost entire cake and top with more crushed Butterfinger bars.
