High altitude chocolate cake. A rich, moist chocolate cake that won't sink at high altitudes and still bakes beautifully at low altitudes. As I mentioned in my last post, "Six Reasons Your Cakes Are Sinking," I've had some trouble with my favorite chocolate cake recipe that I adapted from Sweetapolita. A good chocolate cake is like the little black dresses of desserts. It's reliable, can be dressed up or down, and it always makes you feel good. Kelly, this is the best high altitude recipe for a chocolate Bundt I have found.
