Ratings and Reviews of Portillo's Chocolate Cake

I love this recipe, which tastes like the original. However, I love SIMPLE, too. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we had the easy recipe, which includes the simple box cake mix and off the shelf frosting? (Hint! Hint, Todd!)

Fantastic recipe. Identical to Portillo's chocolate cake. The cake is ridiculously moist and rich.

My daughter-in-law is from Chicago. She and my son currently live in Montana but whenever they come to Phoenix, Portillo’s is the first stop they make when they land. They are moving to Arizona in a few weeks. When I saw this recipe for Portillo’s chocolate cake I had to try it. The cake was delicious. Super moist and flavorful. I did have to refrigerate the frosting for a few hours to get it to the right consistency to frost. By morning the frosting had softened but so delicious. To be honest, I have never eaten the cake from Portillo’s but my friend informed that it was exactly like their cake. Everyone who tried it said it was delicious. I will be making it again and can’t wait to take it to my daughter-in-law and her parent’s when they arrive. I highly recommend this recipe for a delicious chocolate cake.
