Dive into this Super Moist Chocolate Cake—perfectly rich and absolutely decadent! 🍫🎂
Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups granulated sugar
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
1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Directions:
Prepare the oven and pans:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Mix the dry ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Combine wet ingredients:
Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth.
Incorporate boiling water:
Carefully stir in the boiling water until fully combined (the batter will be thin). If using, fold in the chocolate chips.
Bake the cake:
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and frost:
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from the pans and let them cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
