There is something so satisfying about a homemade chocolate cake, especially when chocolate is mixed into both the batter and the finished slices. This Double Chocolate Cake is made with softened butter, condensed milk, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and dark chocolate chunks for a rich chocolate flavor.

The cake is baked in a loaf pan, making it easy to slice and serve. It has a soft texture, a deep chocolate color, and little pockets of melted dark chocolate throughout.
