I have a go-to chocolate cake recipe that turns out like ten times better than most other chocolate cake recipes.

It's vegan.

I'm not vegan.

It's just better than every single other chocolate cake recipe I have ever made, and I shit you not I have probably made at least fourty chocolate cake recipes from gateau to chiffon to pound to devil's food to red velvet to black forest to whatever style you can name. It just happens to be a really consistent, easy recipe.

I can't say that this is true of non-chocolate cake recipes, but like... sometimes you just find a really really good recipe, you know?

This is the one I see most often:

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/16779/vegan-chocolate-cake/

It's good. A little drier than most chocolate cakes with eggs and dairy, but good.

Drier? Interesting.

The reason I use this consistently is because it tends to turn out a lot more moist than the non-vegan versions. It might boil down to what type of oil is used/flour measuring technique though.

It circulates from time to time in other forms, but this is essentially it. ...With the distinction that when I've made frosting for it it has never been a vegan frosting because I like buttercream lol. I imagine you could top it with whatever you wanted to though.

I've also gussied it up by putting in chile chocolate, different extracts, etc... it pretty much holds up for whatever you want to do with it.

If I understand right, a black forest cake has to be a chocolate cake with cherries. Leave out the cherries and it's not a black forest, it's just plain chocolate.

That, so much so that the original name for this is basicall black forest CHERRY cake, not chocolate cake. Also, the cream. Also, the alcohol.
The only bit of chocolate in this is the layers of simple chocolate sponge and some chocolate flake for decoration. That's not really a chocolate cake.

Yeah, I know I left out mention of cream and I didn't even know what sort of alcohol content they have.

Traditionally, cherry schnapps. And not just a little bit (it's the main reason I'm not overly fond of that cake and my grandmother's from the black forest and used to make it fairly often).

I think then that I have never had an absolutely true black forest cake, because I don't do alcohol, but the alcohol-free versions that are just cake, cherries and cream, I like them.
