Last year, most of us who were stuck at home due to the pandemic took solace in wearing our chef hat and cooking our favourite dishes. This year, we thought we must move past the Dalgona coffees and indulge in the richness of some good old chocolate cakes. Not only are cakes yummy to eat, but the process of baking can also be quite therapeutic. To make your task easier, we have curated a list of seven unique chocolate cake recipes that you can easily follow at home. From delectably rich options to a healthy version, this list has something for all of you.
