Chocolate cake has a special place in the heart of every sweet lover. Made with the flavor of cocoa powder or melted chocolate, it goes well for all kinds of celebrations. Here is the recipe to make chocolate cake at home.
Distribute cake batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
Remove from the pan and cool completely. Frost the cake with chocolate buttercream frosting. Enjoy.
Always bring butter and eggs at room temperature before combining them with your batter. Cold ingredients can make the cake batter lumpy leading to a flat and unevenly baked cake.
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp espresso powder
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
Preheat the oven to 350º F. Prepare two 9-inch cake pans by spraying with baking spray. Add flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, salt and espresso powder to a mixing bowl. Whisk through to combine well.
Add milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla to the flour mixture and mix together on medium speed until well combined. Reduce speed and add boiling water to the cake batter until well combined.
Add sour cream to your chocolate cake to get a perfect moist and rich cake.
