Classic Fluffy Chocolate Cake

This classic Chocolate Cake delivers a soft, airy crumb with deep cocoa flavor and a delicately syrup-soaked interior that keeps every slice irresistibly moist. With minimal ingredients and simple techniques, the cake rises beautifully thanks to a well-whipped egg mixture, then absorbs a light vanilla syrup that enhances sweetness without heaviness. It’s an elegant, comforting dessert suitable for everyday baking or special occasions, especially when finished with powdered sugar, chocolate shavings, or a rich ganache topping.
