Welcome to the ultimate Chocolate Delight Cake recipe! This heavenly chocolate cake is perfect for those who can't get enough of rich, velvety chocolate. Combining the finest ingredients, this recipe will walk you through creating a delectable dessert that's sure to impress friends and family. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging your sweet tooth, this cake is bound to be a crowd-pleaser.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13 inch baking pan or two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, sift together the self-raising flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and all-purpose white wheat flour. Mix until well combined.
3. Cream the Butter and Sugar:
In a separate large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with the sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy.
4. Add the Eggs:
Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
5. Incorporate the Milk:
Slowly add the milk to the butter-sugar-egg mixture, mixing gently to combine. The batter may look a little curdled, but that’s okay—it will smooth out once the dry ingredients are added.
6. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients:
Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; you want the batter to stay airy and light.
7. Fold in the Dark Chocolate:
Gently fold in the chopped dark chocolate using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
8. Pour and Smooth the Batter:
Pour the prepared batter into the lined baking pan(s). Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.
9. Bake:
Place the pan(s) in the preheated oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes if using a 9x13 inch pan, or 25-30 minutes if using two 9-inch round pans. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
10. Cool the Cake:
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan(s) for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Dust with Powdered Sugar:
Once the cake is completely cool, dust the top with 1/2 cup of powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
12. Serve and Enjoy:
Slice the cake and serve. Enjoy this rich, moist, and chocolaty delight with family and friends!

Tips:

- Ensure that all your ingredients are at room temperature before you begin. This helps in better mixing and a more uniform batter.

- Sift the cocoa powder and flours to avoid lumps and ensure a smoother texture.

- Use high-quality dark chocolate for a richer taste.

- When adding the eggs, do so one at a time and mix well after each addition to prevent the batter from curdling.

- Do not over-mix the batter as it can make the cake dense. Mix until just combined.

- Use a toothpick to test if the cake is done. Insert it into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.

- Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack before frosting or serving to ensure the best texture and flavor.
