Classic Chocolate Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 and 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup (65g) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 cup (240ml) whole milk, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup (240ml) boiling water

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven and prepare pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans, or line them with parchment paper for easier removal.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined.
3. Add wet ingredients: Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed with a hand mixer or stand mixer for about 2 minutes until well combined.
4. Add boiling water: Carefully add the boiling water to the cake batter. Beat on low speed until just combined. The batter will be thin, but that’s normal.
5. Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
6. Cool and frost: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, frost with your favorite chocolate frosting or ganache.
7. Serve: Slice and serve your delicious homemade chocolate cake! Enjoy it as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.

This recipe yields a moist and flavorful chocolate cake that’s perfect for any occasion. Feel free to get creative with the frosting and decorations to make it your own!
