Ultimate Triple Chocolate Layer Cake

Triple Chocolate Layer Cake

This triple chocolate cake is a rich, deeply flavored showstopper: two ultra-moist chocolate cake layers made with cocoa and hot coffee, wrapped in a silky chocolate buttercream that whips up light yet indulgent. Every slice is fudgy, tender, and intensely chocolatey. Below, each step is expanded with technique notes, sensory cues, and assembly guidance—without altering any of the original ingredients or instructions.
