Are you a chocoholic looking for a delicious treat? Look no further than this indulgent chocolate cake recipe! Rich, moist, and oh-so-chocolatey, this cake is perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
- Slowly stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth and well mixed.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
- Bake 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.
- Transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Frost with your favorite chocolate frosting and enjoy!
Tips:
- For an extra chocolatey cake, add ½ cup of chocolate chips to the batter before baking.
- Make sure to use unsweetened cocoa powder, as sweetened cocoa powder will make the cake too sweet.
- If you don't have two 9-inch cake pans, you can use one 13x9-inch pan instead. Adjust the baking time accordingly.
- For a fun twist, try adding a layer of hazelnut spread between the cake layers.
