An iced chocolate cake is as delicious as a layer cake, but much easier to put together, and somehow it also feels a little less decadent (I'm not sure that's true, but I'm running with that.) standing mixer makes it a pleasure to bake.
While we create the butter and the sugar, I spray and align my bread pan, beat the dry ingredients and mix the wet. All I have to do is break the eggs, and then alternate between dry and wet ones to make a beautiful mix.
