Double Chocolate Cake / 双倍巧克力蛋糕

I baked this cake exactly a year ago for the big boy's 13th birthday. It is an One-Bowl Chocolate Cake with whipped chocolate-cream frosting, decorated with fruits in season. Rich and moist. 

One-bowl cake is very easy to make, just mix all the ingredients until well combined then bake it. And, the best part is you need to wash only one bowl. You can use any of your favorite frosting for this cake.

This year, I baked him a Tiramisu but it was requested by the little one when the big boy said he will leave everything to me. I kept the cake in the freezer 2-3 hours before serving, it tasted like ice-cream cake. So good!  

Birthday boy, he is 14!
