Here’s a simple recipe for a delicious chocolate cake:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch (23cm) round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Use a whisk or a fork to mix well and get rid of any lumps.
- Add the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix everything together with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes, until well combined.
- Reduce the speed to low and carefully pour in the boiling water. Beat until just combined. The batter will be very thin and liquid, which is normal.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then remove the cakes from the pans and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
You can then frost and decorate the cake as desired, using your favorite frosting or ganache recipe. Enjoy your delicious chocolate cake!
