Moist Chocolate Cake

There are juicy cakes, but when you try this moist chocolate cake you will see that this is a whole new category of juiciness. It is a biscuit dessert with an excellent chocolate topping that is actually very easy to make. It is also known in the world under its original Turkish name Islak kek, which means moist cake.

When I say that this is one of the juiciest cakes in the world, I am not exaggerating at all, because it really cannot be juicier than this. The cake is richly soaked in topping, divinely soft and imbued with a wonderful chocolate flavor. If you like chocolate desserts, you must try Islak kek because you will surely be delighted.

Moist Chocolate Cake – delightful juicy cake with perfect taste

The preparation is easy and fast. First, you need to make a biscuit with cocoa (see the table at the end of the text for all ingredients and quantities). Then a chocolate topping is made for a rich soaking. We pour water while both the biscuit and the topping are still warm, and after that everything should be cooled well before serving.

That’s why this moist chocolate cake will be an excellent chocolate refreshment for warmer days, although it is also perfect for any other time of the year. I recommend decorating it with sliced walnuts for a more effective look. Once you try moist cake, I’m sure you’ll make it many more times because its delightful chocolate flavor is unforgettable. Islak kek is a really special cake!
