About Chocolate Cake
Golden Corral Chocolate Cake costs from $1.99 by the slice and carries 210 calories. It comes whole, half or sliced, layered with chocolate frosting between moist dark layers. On the buffet it sits at the dessert bar next to the chocolate fountain, which is where most guests end the meal.
Buffet chocolate cake has to survive hours under lights without drying, and the answer is oil rather than butter in the batter plus buttermilk for tenderness. That is the same reason diner chocolate cake stays soft on day two. Pair a slice with soft serve from the dessert station, or take the whole cake home for a birthday. The recipe below produces a two layer version.

How to Make Chocolate Cake at Home?
Oil based chocolate cake stays moist for days where a butter cake dries by morning. Hot coffee in the batter deepens the chocolate without adding coffee flavor.

Tips
- The thin batter is the point. Thick chocolate cake batter bakes dense.
- Hot coffee blooms the cocoa. You will not taste coffee, only deeper chocolate.
- Cool completely before frosting or the frosting slides off.
Variations
- Add a layer of raspberry jam between the cakes.
- Swap coffee for hot water if serving children who are sensitive.
- Make cupcakes instead: 18 to 20 minutes at the same temperature.
Serving Ideas
- Serve with vanilla soft serve, the way the dessert bar does.
- Warm a slice 12 seconds so the frosting softens.
- Serve with fresh berries to cut the sweetness.
