Kids' Best Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Frosting
1 hr
One bowl, no fuss — this is the chocolate cake you make when you need something reliably delicious for a birthday or school event. The frosting alone is worth it.

Dark, fudgy, and dangerously good. The brown sugar gives these a hint of caramel that keeps everyone coming back for more.
Instructions
- 1
Melt the butter and let it cool down for a few minutes.
- 2
Beat the eggs and sugar in a stand mixer until thick and pale. Slow the mixer down and pour in the melted butter, mixing until combined.
- 3
Sift in the cocoa powder, vanilla sugar, and flour, then fold everything into the batter with a spatula. Pour into a baking paper-lined sheet pan and smooth out the surface.
- 4
Bake in the middle of the oven at 160 °C for about 1 hour, until the surface starts to crack and the centre is still slightly soft.
- 5
Let the cake cool on a wire rack while still in the pan. Once cooled, lift it out using the baking paper and cut into pieces.
