1 slice (medium) of Chocolate moist cake (80 g) has 272 calories. That works out to 340 calories per 100 g. It contains 38.8 g of carbs, 4.1 g of protein, 10.6 g of fat and 1.8 g of fiber. Its 0.1 mg of Copper covers 12% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 65 (high), so it raises blood sugar quickly.
Chocolate moist cake is a Turkish-style home-baked chocolate cake made tender by pouring a cocoa-based sauce over it after baking. Recipes vary: the sauce often includes milk, sugar and oil, and some versions are topped with chocolate icing or shavings, like the slice shown here.
Its crumb is soft and damp, with a rich cocoa flavour. In Turkey it is commonly cut into squares for tea, family visits or dessert; elsewhere, it works just as well with coffee or as a simple after-dinner treat. It is a sweet, energy-dense choice, with 340 calories per 100 g. A smaller slice, served with fresh fruit instead of extra icing, keeps the serving more modest.

Chocolate moist cake is made by baking a chocolate cake and soaking it with chocolate sauce while it is still warm. Many recipes reserve some of the batter or sauce for pouring over the top, helping the cake absorb the chocolate flavor throughout.
Chocolate moist cake usually turns dry when it is overbaked or does not absorb enough sauce. Check it before the end of the baking time, and let the warm cake rest with the sauce so it can soak in before serving.
Pour the sauce over chocolate moist cake while the cake is warm, rather than fully cooled. Poking a few holes across the surface helps the sauce soak in; add it gradually so it does not pool in one spot.
Chocolate moist cake is usually a risen cake soaked with chocolate sauce, while brownies are denser and typically baked without a soaking sauce. The extra sauce gives chocolate moist cake a softer, wetter crumb.
Chocolate moist cake can sink if it is underbaked, the oven door is opened too early, or the batter contains too much leavening. Let it finish baking before checking, and avoid beating the batter longer than needed.
Grease the pan well and line its base with baking paper before adding chocolate moist cake batter. Let the cake settle briefly after baking, then loosen the edges with a thin knife before turning it out or cutting slices.
Store chocolate moist cake in a covered container in the refrigerator to keep its sauce from drying out and to protect it from other food odors. Let a slice sit briefly at room temperature before serving for a softer texture.
Yes, chocolate moist cake freezes well when wrapped tightly in individual portions. Thaw a slice in the refrigerator before serving; if the cake has frosting or decorations, their texture may change slightly after thawing.
Yes, chocolate moist cake can be made without eggs using a recipe designed for an egg-free batter. Simply leaving the eggs out of a standard recipe can make the cake dense or crumbly, so use a tested substitute and method.
Chocolate moist cake pairs well with coffee, tea, or a scoop of plain vanilla ice cream. Fresh berries also balance its rich chocolate sauce, while extra frosting or a heavy dessert topping can make each serving feel overly rich.
