Hi, everyone here are some tips for beginners to bake a soft chocolate cake

How to Make a Chocolate Cake

First, I recommend reading through the ingredients and making sure everything is out and ready. The eggs and milk should be room temperature so getting them out of the fridge ahead of time will solve that for you. (Same with the  cream in the chocolate frosting recipe.)

Make sure dry ingredients are sifted and measured properly. When measuring flour, get out your container or bag. Open it and use a fork to stir it, or sift it, loosening it up. Spoon the flour into a dry measure cup then use the back of a knife to level the cup off. (Or you can measure your ingredients on a scale.)

Use the proper tools. You can use a hand-held mixer (or even stir by hand) but make sure the ingredients are fully mixed and incorporated before moving on to the next step in the recipe.

Use the best quality ingredients if you are able! Dark cocoa’s or high-quality cocoa, fresh eggs, and good quality vanilla make a difference! Feel free to upgrade to all organic ingredients. When it comes to substitutions though, I do recommend making the recipe as-is first, then altering it to make it yours.

for good result use aluminium cake pan instead of glass trays or plastic and baking in oven give best results instead of baking in microwave,try to prevent over baking

while mixing cake over blending cake batter might change cake texture.for fuggy cake you might use spatula to mix dry n wet(beaten) ingredients

for soft cake use extremely hot water and sugar (5 tbsp water +1 tbsp sugar) mixture and soak cake with the mixture using brush .u might not over soak or else it might sweetened the cake(hot water add moisture to cake)

Why Warm Water in Chocolate Cake?

Many chocolate cake recipes include coffee, but my recipes  does not. You still need the moisture that coffee would bring, but can achieve the necessary results by using hot water instead.

Another reason that you want to use warm water when making a cake recipe is that it will help to even the baking process. You don’t want to add cold cake batter to a hot oven.

Warm water will also help bring eggs within the recipe to room temperature if they have been refrigerated. As I mention often, eggs should be at room temperature before adding to the cake batter.

These are the small mistake people made and following the above instructions might help you achieve the good results

These tips would be beneficial for all my cake recipes!
