Chocolate cake with mocha frosting from Make It Ahead: A Barefoot Contessa Cookbook (page 199) by Ina Garten

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I agree that the accompanying frosting recipe makes more than you need, but it's one my go-to cake recipes. Always delicious and fun to make.

    I baked 2 cakes at once and needed to bake them a few extra minutes. The cakes shrank and sunk a bit in the centers, so you'd definitely want to frost them. This cake isn't tall and there is almost half as much frosting as cake, so you could reduce the frosting, but it's oh, so good. The flavor was very dark chocolatey and delicious. I made the cake a day ahead and stored it, covered, at room temperature, which worked fine.
