Chocolate Cake Recipe:


Step by step Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 and 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 cup whole milk, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water

 step by step Instructions:

Preparation:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. You can also line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

Mix Dry Ingredients:

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Add Wet Ingredients:

  • Add the eggs, whole milk, vegetable oil, and pure vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
  • Mix all the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Boiling Water:

  • Gradually add the boiling water to the batter while stirring continuously. The batter will be thin; this is normal.

Divide Batter:

  • Divide the batter equally between the two prepared cake pans.

Bake the Cake:

  • Place the cake pans in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

Cooling:

  • Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

Frosting:

  • You can choose any frosting you like, such as chocolate buttercream, cream cheese frosting, or whipped cream.
  • Frost the cooled cakes, spreading a layer of frosting on top of one cake layer, then placing the second cake layer on top. Frost the sides and top of the cake with the remaining frosting.

Decorate (optional):

  • Optionally, you can decorate the cake with chocolate shavings, sprinkles, or any other toppings of your choice.


Serve and Enjoy:

  • Slice and serve the delicious chocolate cake, and enjoy it with family and friends!
