Chocolate Cake
A classic and one of the most popular cakes is the chocolate cake. This recipe is a combination of a few simple ingredients, but it produces a deliciously moist and fudgy cake. To get started with this delicious cake, preheat the oven to 350˚F and grease two 8-inch round cake pans.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk the ingredients together until everything is combined. Then add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Beat the ingredients until they are completely combined and the batter is smooth. Slowly add the boiling water, whisking as you add it to the bowl. Be careful not to splatter the hot water around. Once all the boiling water is added, whisk the batter until everything is combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the two cake pans and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. Test the cakes by inserting a toothpick into the middle of each cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cakes are done. Let the cakes cool for 10 minutes before removing them from the pans and cooling completely on a wire rack.
