Chocolate Cake Recipe

Ingredients making Cake

• 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
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add the eggs, whole milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until well combined.
4. Stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin, but that’s okay.
5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
7. Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes.
8. Carefully remove the cakes from the pans and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once the cakes are completely cooled, you can frost them with your favorite frosting or icing.
10. Enjoy your delicious homemade chocolate cake!

Tips:

• For extra chocolate flavor, you can add chocolate chips to the batter before baking.
• Make sure to sift the cocoa powder to remove any lumps for a smoother cake texture.
• If you don’t have two cake pans, you can bake the cake in one pan and then slice it in half horizontally to create two layers.
• Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
