Show more commentsThis is the most reliable big cake recipe I've ever used. I have 7 kids, so believe me when I say I have made more chocolate birthday cakes than the average parent, and this recipe is our favorite.
what are the conversions to metric? i.e. how much weight in a cup of flour?
This has become my 'go to' birthday cake recipe. Foolproof and delicious. Even great when I forgot the baking soda once!
