Moist Chocolate Cake

So, I was at a party last night and someone asked me how she could make her chocolate cake more moist. My answer was, "I don't know". The only baking experience I have at the moment is what I have learned from my mother. I have done a little experimentation on my own, but nothing that would qualify my answering this question... And so, I told her the plain truth - I don't know. What I really should have answered is "I don't know - YET!" Hopefully after I'm finished with the French Culinary Institute, I will be able to answer her question. Actually, I have been doing a little research lately, yes, the nerd in me is coming out again... There's a book that I am thoroughly enjoying - The Cake Bible. I highly recommend it for those of you who want to know the science behind the baking. And from the reviews I have seen on Amazon, the recipes work. I haven't tried any yet since I've been so busy lately, but I am hoping to try some out in the near future. Will keep you posted when I do... =)
