Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 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
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper for easy removal later.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together 1 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar, 3/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix well until all dry ingredients are evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs until they are light and frothy. Add in 1 cup of whole milk, 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing on medium speed until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is mixed evenly.
- Carefully stir in 1 cup of boiling water. The batter will be thin, but this is normal. Mix until just combined, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Tap the pans gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove the cakes from the pans and transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, you can frost and decorate them as desired. A simple chocolate buttercream or ganache pairs wonderfully with this cake.
- Slice and serve your Magic Dessert Amazing Chocolate Cake, and enjoy the rich, moist chocolate goodness!
Tips
- • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the most consistent mixing and texture. • When adding boiling water, mix gently to maintain the cake's delicate batter structure. • Use high-quality cocoa powder for the most intense chocolate flavor. • Don't overmix the batter - mix just until ingredients are combined to keep the cake tender. • For extra moisture, consider brushing the cooled cake layers with simple syrup before frosting. • Let the cake cool completely before frosting to prevent melting and sliding. • For a professional finish, use a cake turntable and offset spatula when decorating. • Store the cake in an airtight container to maintain its incredible moisture and freshness.
